Job Description

Looking for a finance role where numbers meet global impact? We’ve got just the one.

My client's on the hunt for a Financial Accountant to support their growing, international business. With operations in South Africa, the US and the UK, this role offers rare exposure to cross-border finance and a seat at the table of a purpose-driven, fast-moving company.

What’s the role about?

This is a multifaceted role where you’ll oversee bookkeeping, reporting, and control functions across three entities. It’s a brilliant opportunity for someone who thrives in a dynamic environment and wants to make a tangible difference to how finance supports the business.

Here’s what you’ll be doing:

  • Manage AP, AR, purchase orders, and reconciliations for the South African entity
  • Handle fixed assets, stock reconciliations, and trade finance reporting
  • Support VAT submissions, credit insurance reporting, and external audits
  • Oversee financial admin for our UK and US entities, including transfer pricing
  • Consolidate and report performance across all business units
  • Maintain governance, shared services registers, and intercompany documentation
  • Take initiative on ad hoc financial tasks and process improvements

What we’re looking for:

  • A relevant Finance degree
  • 3–5 years’ accounting experience, ideally in an SME environment
  • Strong grasp of tax regulations, VAT, and international financial compliance
  • Familiarity with Xero and CIN7 Core (Dear) is a big plus
  • Solid Excel skills and comfort with modern cloud-based systems
  • Analytical, detail-focused, and able to juggle diverse financial tasks
  • A self-starter who thrives in entrepreneurial, high-growth environments
  • Based in the Southern Suburbs of Cape Town (fully in-office)

What’s in it for you:

  • Be part of a pioneering brand with a strong mission and fast-paced culture
  • Work across multiple international markets with real ownership and variety
  • Join a team where ideas, agility, and ambition are welcomed and rewarded
  • Contribute meaningfully to building a scalable, global finance function
