Overview
Finance Administrator Jobs in City of Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa at Instant Impact
Title: Finance Administrator
Company: Instant Impact
Location: City of Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa
We are currently representing a leading global legal services provider in the appointment of Finance Administrator based in Cape Town, as part of a period of continued growth and investment in their international operations. Our client delivers flexible legal resourcing solutions to clients across multiple jurisdictions, with teams spanning the UK, Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and South Africa.
This is a finance-operations role at heart — you’ll be the go-to person for invoicing, billing, and finance administration supporting a fast-moving, international flexible resourcing business. If you enjoy detail-driven work, high volumes, and being the person who keeps the numbers moving accurately and on time, this is a great fit.
What you’ll be doing
- Processing consultant invoices, supporting supplier set-up, and verifying bank details
- Supporting billing activity — coordinating inputs, resolving queries, and liaising with stakeholders to ensure timely, accurate billing
- Validating and processing referral fees
- Assisting with finance audits, billing queries, and reconciliations
- Monitoring and chasing outstanding timesheets, escalating where needed
- Triaging and actioning queries through the operations inbox
- Carrying out conflict checks
- Providing billing and finance support for other jurisdictions, including Germany, as needed
- Identifying and helping embed improvements to finance and admin processes
What we’re looking for
- Previous administration experience — ideally from a legal, recruitment, professional services, or finance operations background, though this isn’t essential
- Strong attention to detail and excellent organisational skills, with the ability to manage high-volume administrative work accurately
- Invoice processing, billing, supplier administration, or audit support experience is a bonus, not a requirement
- Confidence working with multiple stakeholders across different countries and time zones
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, and comfort using Microsoft Office and business systems
- An interest in legal services, flexible resourcing, or international operations is a plus
