Sybrin Accounts Receivable Internship 2026: Requirements and How to Apply
Sybrin, a leading IT software development company, has opened applications for a 12-month Accounts Receivable Internship within its Finance department, based in Johannesburg or Cape Town on a hybrid work basis. The internship is designed for candidates who have completed, or are completing, a finance or accounting qualification and want structured, practical exposure to debtor management, collections and financial systems inside a real corporate finance team.
If you are studying or have completed a finance-related qualification and want hands-on Accounts Receivable experience rather than a purely academic year, this is worth a close look.
About Sybrin
Sybrin specialises in software solutions built for businesses across multiple sectors, with certifications spanning ISO 9001 for Quality Management, ISO/IEC 27001 for Information Security Management, and ISO/IEC 27701 for Privacy Information Management. Interns joining Sybrin are expected to familiarise themselves with the company’s Integrated Management System and undergo periodic training on their role within its security, quality and privacy practices.
What the Internship Involves
This is a 12-month development opportunity reporting to the Financial Manager, giving the intern exposure across several core Accounts Receivable functions:
- Customer payment allocations and credit note processing in Acumatica
- Invoicing administration and customer information management
- Collections and debtor follow-ups, including direct customer communication
- Withholding Tax documentation and certificate tracking
- Accounts Receivable reporting and monthly reconciliation support
- Collection forecasting and expected payment date tracking
The role also includes exposure to cross-border transactions within Africa and multi-currency environments, which is a more advanced element than most entry-level finance internships typically offer.
Requirements
To qualify for the Sybrin Accounts Receivable Internship, applicants need:
- A Matric certificate
- A completed, or currently in-progress, Certificate, Diploma or Degree in Accounting, Finance, Financial Management or a related field
The following are listed as advantageous, though not compulsory:
- Up to 2 years of relevant experience in Accounts Receivable, debtors, or finance administration
- Basic exposure to customer invoicing, payment allocations or collections
- Exposure to cross-border transactions, multi-currency environments, or Withholding Tax
- Prior exposure to an accounting or ERP system

Beyond formal qualifications, Sybrin has outlined specific technical and behavioural skills for this role:
- Strong attention to detail and accuracy
- A basic understanding of accounting principles, Accounts Receivable processes and debtor ageing
- Good written and verbal communication, with a professional approach to customer interaction
- Solid organisational and record-keeping skills
- The ability to manage multiple tasks within agreed deadlines
- Working knowledge of Microsoft Excel, including basic formulas, filters and data handling
- Familiarity with Microsoft Office applications and a willingness to learn financial systems such as Acumatica
