SUMMARY:
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLEÂ ADMINISTRATOR
Commercial Property PortfolioÂ |Â Pretoria - Office BasedÂ |Â Permanent

Are you the kind of AR professional who doesn't wait to be told what to do â you just get it done?

A high-performing commercial property group in Pretoria is looking for an Accounts Receivable Administrator who brings more than just technical skill to the table. This is a role for someone who moves fast, thinks ahead, and takes full ownership of their debtor book â without hand-holding.
If you thrive under pressure, hold yourself to a high standard, and bring real energy to your work, this is the environment for you.
Reporting to the Senior Management Accountant, you will own the full AR function across a multi-entity commercial portfolio â from accurate tenant invoicing and collections through to month-end reconciliations, audit-ready reporting, and debtor management. This is a busy, fast-paced finance environment where accuracy, initiative, and pace matter in equal measure.

POSITION INFO:
Responsibilities:Â

Issuing accurate monthly invoices across commercial tenants â rental, utilities recoveries, rates, and ancillary charges
Interpreting and applying commercial lease terms, including escalations, turnover rental, and cost recoveries
Managing the full debtor book: statements, demand letters, aging analysis, and weekly reporting to management
Reconciling the AR ledger to the general ledger monthly and preparing management and shareholder-quality reporting packs
Proactively identifying bad debt risks and escalating appropriately
Maintaining audit-ready records and supporting the external audit process
Ensuring all invoicing is VAT-compliant and SARS-valid at all times
Keeping tenant master data â lease terms, banking details, escalation schedules â accurate and up to date

Above all else, this CFO is looking for someone with drive. Someone who sets the pace, not someone who waits for it.

Qualifications
Â

BCom in Accounting or Financial Management (NQF Level 7) preferred; National Diploma (NQF Level 6) minimum
Candidates completing a BCom with strong working experience will be considered

Experience

3â5 years in a dedicated accounts receivable or credit control role
Proven track record managing a multi-entity debtor book in a structured, deadline-driven environment
Ability to read and apply commercial lease agreements for billing purposes (property experience advantageous but not essential)
Experience in environments with formal month-end close processes and management reporting obligations
Technical Skills
Advanced Microsoft Excel â pivot tables, VLOOKUP, reconciliation workbooks
Sound knowledge of South African VAT legislation and SARS compliance
Experience with property management systems such as MDA, MRI, Yardi, or SAP Real Estate is a strong advantage
Familiarity with multi-entity accounting structures

Â
You take ownership. You don't miss deadlines. You spot a problem before it becomes one, and you fix it. You communicate clearly with tenants and management alike, and you hold your own work to the same standard you'd hold anyone else's. You're accurate, fast, and genuinely proud of a clean debtor book.
Membership of SAIPA or ICB (or active progress toward membership) is strongly preferred.Â
Excellent growth opportunity within this well established business and part of large Group Holding company
