  • Leading budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis
  • Taking ownership of financial processes including reconciliations, asset management, and general ledger oversight
  • Implementing strong controls and risk management practices
  • Liaising with internal and external stakeholders, including banks, auditors, and executive teams

What We’re Looking For:

  • CA(SA) or BCom degree in Finance, Accounting, or Economics (CIMA/CFA/CPA a plus)
  • Minimum 3 years’ experience in a financial management role
  • Proficient in SAGE, ACCPAC, and IDU; strong Excel and financial systems skills
  • Deep understanding of accounting principles, tax, and financial compliance
  • Strong communication and leadership skills
  • Experience in a services or facilities management environment preferred
  • Valid South African ID and driver’s license

What’s In It for You:

  • Immediate start – no long onboarding wait
  • Join a driven, results-focused team
  • Opportunity to make a meaningful impact in a short timeframe
  • Exposure to a diverse and dynamic business unit
