Accounts Payable Clerk
- Cape Town
- Finance
Job description
Let’s be honest: Finance job specs all sound the same.
“Detail-oriented… driven… Excel…” blah blah blah.
Finance in e-commerce hits differently.
Our world moves quickly, our team is collaborative, and we love working with people who bring both precision and personality.
AP here isn’t a sleepy, back-office, rubber-stamp job.
You will be:
The gatekeeper of clean financial flows
The fixer when something doesn’t balance
The heartbeat connecting suppliers, finance, ops, and buying
The person who everyone trusts because your work is gold-standard
If you love order, accuracy, clear processes, and being relied on, you will thrive.
Job requirements
WHAT YOU’LL OWN
Processing invoices fast and flawlessly
Matching POs, GRNs & invoices with forensic accuracy
Managing the AP inbox so it never becomes a crime scene
Reconciling supplier statements (you find errors others miss)
Preparing weekly payment packs that are bulletproof
Keeping suppliers updated, not chasing you
Month-end support (clean AP listings, accruals, reports)
Spotting risks, gaps, and process improvements
Exposure to the full Accounts Payable cycle (from invoice receipt → matching → approvals → payments → reconciliations → reporting)
WHO YOU ARE
You’ll fit right in if you are:
Extremely detail-driven (you see things others miss)
Organised and systematic: colour-coded spreadsheets are your happy place
Energised by fast-moving environments (retail, e-com, SMME, startup vibes)
Comfortable working with tools, platforms, dashboards
A clear communicator, suppliers and teammates love dealing with you
Calm under pressure and reliable when things get busy
Someone who takes pride in delivering clean, accurate work
TOOLS YOU’LL USE
Sage Evolution / Fusion
Excel + Google Sheets (solid formula confidence)
Google Workspace
If you’re the kind of person who wants their work to matter, loves a tidy spreadsheet, and thrives in a fast, friendly, non-corporate environment… this role has your name all over it.
Runway is committed to transformation and redressing of past inequalities. Our employment equity goals will be taken into account in our selection process.
