Picture this

Summer hits, demand triples, production runs flat out across every branch, and somebody has to make sense of it all in real time. That somebody is you. This is a manufacturing business with real product, real seasonality, and real margin pressure, and the finance seat here isn't decorative. It's the control room.

Your domain:

• A seat at the management table, shaping growth and efficiency decisions instead of just documenting them afterward
• Consolidated management accounts across every branch and division, told in a way people actually understand: income statements, balance sheets, commentary that lands
• Budgets and forecasts built hand in hand with Sales and Production, so the numbers match what's actually happening on the factory floor
• KPIs and a Balanced Scorecard that you design, not just administer
• The annual audit, plus costing, capital planning, and working capital calls that influence real investment decisions
• Full statutory and tax compliance, handled so cleanly nobody downstream ever has to think about it
• A team of junior accountants who get better because you're the one developing them

The Opportunity

This isn't a role for someone who wants to process invoices and disappear into a spreadsheet. It's the chance to be the senior finance mind in a South African business that answers to an international head office, the person leadership, both locally and in Europe, turns to for clarity, control and commercial judgement.

You'll run the finance function end-to-end, with direct visibility into how a fast-growing renewable energy business is built, funded and reported across borders. It's hands-on, it's high-trust, and it comes with a real seat at the table.

What you'll own:

• Full ownership of the accounting function,  ledgers, journals, reconciliations, and monthly management accounts that leadership actually relies on
• The numbers behind the story: preparing reporting packs and financial statements that feed straight into an international group's decision-making
• Tax and statutory compliance from end to end, VAT, income tax, CIPC, payroll taxes and SARS Public Officer responsibilities, so the business never misses a beat
• Monthly payroll, processed accurately and on time, every time
• The annual audit relationship, coordinating the process, preparing the files, and being the person auditors trust
• A direct line to Head Office and local leadership, you'll be the financial voice they hear from regularly, not once a quarter
