Debtors Coordinator | Stellenbosch
Active Recruitment
Our Client who is a well-established agricultural trading organisation based in Stellenbosch, is looking for an experienced Senior Debtors Coordinator / Debtors Controller to take full ownership of a debtors book exceeding R25 million. This is a senior appointment for someone already confident operating at high transaction volumes and reconciliation complexity — not an entry-level position.
Ideal Requirements
- 4–6+ years' experience in a debtors, accounts receivable, or credit control role — including direct, hands-on ownership of a debtors book exceeding R25 million (this is a senior appointment, not an entry-level one)
- Demonstrated experience operating in high-volume, high-transaction-count environments — hundreds of invoices/allocations per week as the norm
- Fully bilingual: Afrikaans and English (non-negotiable — a hard requirement for the role, not a preference)
- Advanced Excel skills — VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, pivot tables, and complex multi-account reconciliations as routine, not occasional, work
- Comfortable liaising directly with banks and senior finance stakeholders on financing, facilities, and credit terms
- Prior exposure to agriculture, agri-trading, FMCG, wholesale/distribution, beverage, or retail finance — ideally at a well-known, high-value brand with a large debtors/creditors portfolio. The recent Creditors Controller hire from KWV is a useful benchmark for the calibre and scale of experience to target
