Let that precision mean something. You know what good accounts payable looks like — not just technically, but operationally. Invoices processed on time. Creditor reconciliations that reconcile the first time. A month-end close that doesn't require firefighting because the groundwork was laid weeks earlier. You take that seriously, and it shows in how you work. Most finance teams know what they have in someone like you. The question is whether the organisation around you is doing anything that makes that precision worth bringing. At M-KOPA, the stakes are unusually real. We've unlocked more than $2 billion in credit for over 7 million customers across Sub-Saharan Africa — people who, in many cases, had never accessed a formal financial product before. Fifty-five percent of our customers are first-time financial services users. Eighty-six percent report a measurable improvement in their quality of life after joining. When M-KOPA's finance operations run cleanly, that growth continues. When they don't, it doesn't. The AP function isn't administrative overhead here — it's infrastructure for a mission with real human consequences.

We're hiring across the business because we're building the operational backbone to support an expanding customer base — part of a deliberate journey from 7 million customers toward 10 million across our markets. In that context, the Finance team needs people who don't just process accurately, but who understand the rhythm of a finance operation: what needs to happen daily, what needs to happen at month-end, and how to prioritise when both demand attention simultaneously. This is a full-time, in-country role based in South Africa, reporting to the Financial Manager. What the work actually looks like Your week is structured around the AP cycle — but "structured" shouldn't be read as "routine." The nature of a growing business means supplier relationships, invoice volumes, and internal approval chains are in motion. You'll be managing the za.invoices mailbox, ensuring no incoming invoice sits unattended, and working across procurement, operations, and departmental stakeholders to push approvals through on time. When a purchase order lands, you'll capture it accurately in Microsoft Dynamics — right cost centre, right account, right period — and flag anything that touches the fixed asset register for correct treatment. Credit card and PayCentral card reconciliations are yours to own. That means gathering supporting documentation, resolving discrepancies within defined timelines, and getting sign-off from the Financial Manager without chasing or delay. Month-end is when accuracy compounds. You'll be identifying which invoices require accrual, ensuring employee expense claims are captured in the right period, running the AP ageing report to surface supplier balances that lack documentation, and uploading journals with the completeness the close demands. Monthly bank reconciliations form part of the picture too — discrepancies flagged, not buried. Beyond the transactional work, you'll be maintaining the creditor reconciliation sheet weekly, supporting DSR commission file uploads, and staying responsive to the finance queries that don't wait for a convenient moment.
