SUMMARY:
Accountant – Keep the Financial Production Line Running at Peak Performance
In manufacturing, every smooth-running production line relies on precision, timing, and consistent output — and the same is true for finance. You’re the kind of accountant who knows that tight controls, accurate data, and dependable processes keep operations efficient and the business moving forward. You bring structure, analytical clarity, and hands-on skill that ensure nothing falls through the cracks.

POSITION INFO:
The Opportunity
A leading manufacturing organisation is looking for a newly qualified CA(SA) to step into a full-function Accountant role. This is a hands-on environment where most of the work is transactional — perfect for someone who enjoys rolling up their sleeves and managing the financial engine room directly, rather than merely reviewing or overseeing. You’ll be central to daily processing, financial accuracy, cost control, and ensuring the numbers behind production, procurement, and operations run just as efficiently as the factory floor.

Key Responsibilities

Execute full-function transactional accounting with accuracy and accountability
Prepare and analyse budgets, forecasts, and financial reports
Assist with tax submissions and compliance requirements
Perform variance analysis and provide cost insights to operations
Use advanced Excel skills to manage data, automate tasks, and streamline reporting
Support internal/external audits and uphold strong financial governance

What You Bring

Newly Qualified CA(SA)
Solid exposure to the manufacturing industry
Manufacturing experience beneficial (but open)
Above-average Excel proficiency — the bulk of work is Excel-based
Strong analytical capability and a detail-driven mindset

Why You’ll Want This Role
This is your chance to make a real operational impact, support teams on the ground, and help strengthen the heartbeat of a growing business. If you’re ready for a role where your technical skill meets real-world operational influence, this opportunity is built for you.
