Job Description

Ready to be the commercial right hand to an MD in a business where the numbers genuinely shape decisions, not just record them?

We're recruiting for a CA(SA) to join a healthcare group as Finance Business Partner, working closely alongside the Managing Director of the group's medical device business. This isn't a close-and-report role. You'll be in the room for pricing calls, deal evaluations and commercial trade-offs, with real scope to influence how the business is run. Because the business imports product and the group spans several entities, you'll also get your hands on foreign currency, trade finance and multi-entity work that most commercial finance roles never touch.

What you'll be doing

  • Partnering directly with the Managing Director on commercial and pricing decisions, budgets, forecasts and cash-flow forecasting.
  • Managing letters of credit, bank guarantees and forward cover for foreign currency imports.
  • Handling exchange control requirements, SARB reporting and landed-cost modelling.
  • Overseeing local statutory and tax compliance, including VAT, PAYE, SARS submissions, customs and duties.
  • Coordinating the local audit process.
  • Extending commercial and financial support to other entities across the group.

What we're looking for

  • CA(SA), non-negotiable.
  • Roughly 3+ years post-articles experience — we're more interested in commercial partnering instinct than years on the clock.
  • A track record of business partnering with senior stakeholders on real decisions, not just producing the numbers behind them.
  • Comfort with (or genuine appetite to learn) foreign currency, trade finance and import-related finance work.
  • Confidence operating across multiple entities within a group structure.

What's in it for you

  • Direct, high-trust partnership with an MD — real influence over commercial decisions from day one.
  • Broad technical exposure spanning trade finance, imports and multi-entity group finance, rare to find in one role.
  • A healthcare business with genuine purpose behind the numbers.
  • Room to grow into a business-critical finance role rather than a back-office one.

Apply now and bring your commercial instinct into a role where finance sits at the table, not behind it.

If you don't hear back from us within 2 weeks of applying, please consider your application unsuccessful. But stay in touch - follow us online and keep an eye out for future opportunities.
