Accounts Receivables Clerk
Salary: R20,995 per month + benefits
Are you a conscientious worker, and a thoughtful, kind, supportive human being? Well, you might just have a home here!
About the Company
We’ve set out to provide unrivalled customer experience, an experience that delights each and every customer every time.
We offer telephone services to businesses. With our telephone system in the cloud, we offer South African businesses the flexibility to work where and how they want and manage everything themselves. We call it Freedom.
About the job
As Accounts Receivables Clerk you will mainly be responsible for tightly managing accounts receivables and assisting customers with their accounts queries.
We’re looking for a self-managed, self-motivated individual who thrives in an autonomous working environment. Your communication skills, diplomacy and charm make customers wonder if they’re talking to accounts or to sales. You manage to get paid while building genuine customer relationships. You add flair to being ‘firm but fair’.
On the job training: During your onboarding, you’ll be expected to be proactive and learn quickly. Once fully up-to-speed (1-2 months), you’ll be sending lots of emails and be on calls that can take a good chunk out of your day. This is a significant volume, so be sure that you’re ready and able to deal with that kind of daily load — peers are supportive and available for guidance but there is no hand-holding!
This job is not for everyone. You’re required to meet expectations without hands-on management. It’s your personal responsibility to uphold Voys’ standards for yourself and for your team members. The workload and pace are high. Being on top of your game is paramount. Juggling the immediate needs of customers as well as staying on top of your to-do’s is no easy feat.
What you’ll be responsible for:
- Accurate and real-time accounts receivables records at all times
- Reconciling payments to invoices daily
- Reconciling customer prepaid balances on Freedom (our telephony platform) to Xero
- Accounts receivables management:
Recovering debts while maintaining good customer relationships. - Sending timely and accurate (automated) payment reminders daily
- Chasing debtors via phone and email
- Negotiating payment arrangements and holding debtors to the agreed terms
- Correcting undeliverable customer email addresses
- Deactivating/ reactivating customer accounts on Freedom
- Removing customer accounts from Freedom
- Blacklisting defaulters
- Writing off bad debts
- Ad-hoc assistance of customers:
- email queries
- telephonic queries
- emailing customer invoices and statements
- With accounts related requests:
- With the online payment portal (Payfast) and EFT prepaid top-ups
- Assisting in the month-end billing process
- Customer vetting and capturing of customer details
- Vetting of customer documents (RICA)
- Approving or rejecting documents or applications
- Processing of credit risk assessments for new and existing customers via Netcash

About You
You’re based in Cape Town and consider yourself a great conversationalist. You have highly tuned senses of compassion and empathy and a drive to constantly help others; your customers and colleagues alike. You pride yourself in doing excellent work and thrive on getting things done! Your can-do mentality ensures that you’re relentless about achieving set targets.
You have an eye for good business and a nose for bulls***. You’re not afraid to share what you know and you welcome feedback, in fact you thrive on it. You’re also willing to unlearn what you know when the situation calls for it. We’re looking for people who have no problem adapting to newness. This can be the newness to the tools, programmes and systems we use. Or how Voys is organised (Holacracy). Whatever the newness, you have a willingness to adapt. You’re also passionate about finding and implementing ways to improve things by 1% every day.
Your word is gold – the team and our clients will be able to rely on you doing exactly what you say you’ll do, when you say you’ll do it. You take full ownership of everything you do. Being organised, diligent, and working methodically comes naturally to you.
