SUMMARY:
Stratlab – Where Talent Meets Its People.

We connect brilliant minds with companies that actually get them. Serious about growth, light on the drama.

We’re currently looking for an Accounts Payable Accountant | Retail | Cape Town – a role for someone who thrives in

Retail Accounts Payable
Supplier Reconciliations
High-Volume Invoice Processing and wants to make a real difference.

At Stratlab, we focus on culture fit, long-term impact, and building relationships that last – because great work happens when people belong.

Think this is you? Let’s make it happen.

POSITION INFO:
You believe invoices should be paid on time.
Suppliers should be happy.

And “I emailed it last week” is not a valid proof of payment.
If retail AP chaos feels familiar rather than frightening, keep reading.

We’re looking for an Accounts Payable Accountant with retail experience who knows their way around high-volume invoices, supplier reconciliations and month-end pressure that doesn’t care about your calendar.

This is not an entry-level role. This is for someone who has done retail AP properly and can keep the wheels turning while everyone else is still looking for the invoice.

What you’ll be doing (aka keeping the lights on)

Processing high volumes of retail supplier invoices
Reconciling supplier statements like it’s second nature
Managing payment runs accurately and on time
Handling supplier queries without losing your cool
Supporting month-end close and audit requirements

This will suit you if:

You have solid accounts payable experience in retail (non-negotiable)
You’re detail-obsessed in a healthy, productive way
You can juggle urgency without dropping accuracy
You’re based in Cape Town and want stability with growth

The vibe

Fast-paced but human. Structured but not stiff.
You’ll be trusted to own AP, supported by a team that understands retail doesn’t wait.

If retail accounts payable is your comfort zone and you’re ready to own the function with confidence, we’d love to hear from you.

Apply now.
