Job Details

Accountant – VKB Milling (Pty) Ltd

Shape the future of South African agriculture with us.

At the VKB Group, numbers aren’t just numbers—they’re the foundation of food security, thriving communities, and a sustainable agricultural future. We’re a proudly South African, farmer-owned business that has grown from supporting farmers on the ground to operating across the entire food chain—processing, logistics, and global markets.

Now, we’re looking for a passionate and driven Accountant to join our Milling Division.

Why This Role Is Different

  • Impact That Matters: Every report, analysis, and recommendation you make directly contributes to feeding our nation and supporting South African farmers.
  • Real Career Growth: With exposure across finance, agri-processing, logistics, and beyond, your career path doesn’t stop at accounting.
  • Lifestyle Advantage: Escape the city grind. Reitz in the Free State offers affordable living, open skies, a safe and family-friendly community, and true work-life balance.
  • Stable Future: Be part of a strong, values-driven company with deep agricultural roots and a long-term vision.

What You’ll Do

As part of our finance team, you’ll take ownership of the full accounting function with a focus on financial reporting and accounts payable. Expect a hands-on role where your contribution makes a visible difference.

  • Prepare, analyse, and report monthly management accounts
  • Manage payables, cash flow, and budgets to keep operations efficient
  • Review and approve creditor reconciliations, journals, purchase orders, and EFTs
  • Prepare annual financial statements, audit files, and management reports
  • Ensure VAT submissions are accurate and on time
  • Partner with auditors, suppliers, and internal teams for smooth operations
  • Drive compliance, accuracy, and continuous improvements in financial processes

What We’re Looking For

  • Qualifications: BCom in Accountancy + completed SAIPA or SAICA articles
  • Experience: Finance background (manufacturing/fast-moving environment a plus)
  • Tech Skills: Advanced Excel (Caseware & Microsoft Dynamics NAV an advantage)
  • Mindset: Analytical, detail-oriented, and solution-driven
  • People Skills: Strong communicator who thrives in a team but works independently
  • Other: Valid driver’s license, willingness to travel, fluent in Afrikaans & English

Our Culture

We live by five values:
Humble. Hungry. Bold. Smart. Team players.

If this sounds like you, you’ll feel right at home.

Ready to use your accounting expertise to make a real impact? Apply now and grow with us as we build the future of agriculture together.
