SUMMARY:
A leading short-term insurance business is seeking an experienced Group Structure & Tax Specialist to join its executive finance team.
This opportunity is ideally suited to a CA(SA) with strong short-term insurance industry exposure who understands the complexity, governance, and regulatory demands of operating within a sophisticated multi-entity insurance environment.
If you have a solid background in insurance finance, tax, reporting, and regulatory compliance — combined with the ability to navigate trusts, offshore structures, and strategic group entities — this role offers exceptional exposure and career growth.

POSITION INFO:

Why This Role Is Different

This is not a traditional finance role.
You’ll work directly with the CFO and play a key role in supporting the group’s shareholder structures, international entities, tax obligations, and property portfolio management within a dynamic insurance environment.
The business is looking for someone who can combine technical excellence with commercial thinking, discretion, and strong stakeholder engagement.

Key Focus Areas

Insurance-Focused Financial & Tax Oversight

Manage reporting, compliance, and tax administration across multiple entities
Support governance and regulatory obligations within a short-term insurance framework
Prepare and review management accounts and financial reporting packs
Ensure compliance with local and international tax regulations
Monitor financial performance, fund flows, and reporting accuracy

Shareholder Trust & Offshore Entity Management

Oversee trust administration and annual financial reporting processes
Liaise with trustees, advisors, and offshore service providers
Coordinate regulatory submissions, tax returns, and ownership disclosures
Assess implications of group structure changes across entities

Strategic Stakeholder Engagement

Partner with senior leadership and external advisors
Support decision-making through accurate financial insights and compliance oversight
Maintain strong governance standards across a complex multi-jurisdictional structure

ssential Requirements

CA(SA) qualification
Proven experience within the short-term insurance industry
Strong exposure to tax, financial reporting, and regulatory compliance
Experience working within complex or multi-entity structures
Knowledge of South African tax legislation and governance frameworks

Advantageous Experience

Exposure to trusts, offshore entities, or international structures
Property portfolio or asset management exposure
Experience engaging with executives, trustees, and external advisors

This is a rare opportunity to step into a highly visible role reporting directly to the CFO, where your insurance industry expertise will be critical in shaping governance, compliance, and financial oversight across the broader group structure.
If you’re looking for a role that combines technical depth, strategic exposure, and executive-level engagement within the short-term insurance sector — this could be your next move.
