Accountant

Role Overview

This position sits at the point where patient care turns into recorded revenue: you will make sure every service delivered is captured, invoiced, and reflected accurately in the hospital's books. Working closely with the administration team, you will carry out routine accounting work — processing invoices, keeping financial records current, reconciling customer accounts, and feeding reliable figures into periodic financial reporting. Getting this right protects cash flow and gives management a dependable view of what has been earned and what is still outstanding.

Key Responsibilities

• Capture and process invoices for clinical and non-clinical services rendered, confirming that charges agree with what is documented in the hospital billing system.
• Reconcile customer and patient accounts, tracing and resolving differences between billed amounts, receipts issued, and system records.
• Recognise revenue in the correct accounting period and post income to the appropriate account or cost centre.
• Maintain ledgers, journals, and supporting schedules so that every entry is complete, traceable, and ready for audit or review.
• Work inside the Health Management Information Systems and hospital billing platform to pull billing data, follow up on unpaid balances, and flag services that were delivered but never charged.
• Assist in preparing financial reports and summaries used by administration and management to monitor performance.
• Issue invoices and statements and follow up with corporate clients and third-party payers on overdue amounts.
• Support month-end and period-end closing, including analysis of accounts and reconciliation of control accounts.

Requirements & Qualifications

• CPA Part Two, or equivalent progress toward full professional qualification.
• 0–2 years of relevant working experience in accounting, billing, or revenue-related duties.
• Valid Certificate of Good Conduct.
• Proficiency in computer applications, with particular strength in Health Management Information Systems.
• Demonstrated ability to work with hospital billing systems and interpret charge and billing data.
• Keen attention to detail and accuracy, including when handling high volumes of transactions.
• Good communication and interpersonal skills for dealing with clinical staff, patients, and account holders.
