Job Ref:

NFR008705/LEA

Date posted:

Monday, February 9, 2026

Location:

Johannesburg, South Africa

SUMMARY:
Are you a commercially minded CIMA professional who enjoys translating numbers into business insight and influencing operational outcomes?

I work closely with organisations across Johannesburg that are building commercial finance, FP&A, and business partnering capability — and they are increasingly selective about the calibre of talent they bring in.

This talent pool is aimed at CIMA-qualified professionals (or those close to completion) who demonstrate strong academic discipline, analytical depth, and commercial curiosity.

Candidates who passed their exams on first attempt or show a consistently strong performance record are of particular interest.

POSITION INFO:

Where demand is strongest right now:

FP&A and forecasting-focused roles
Commercial Finance / Business Partnering
Management Accounting with operational exposure
Finance roles embedded within operations and strategy
Sectors including FMCG, Manufacturing, Retail, Logistics, and Fintech

What sets strong CIMA candidates apart:

CIMA qualification (or finalist)
Ability to interpret data and influence decisions
Strong academic performance; first-time passes advantageous
Advanced Excel and financial modelling skills
Confident stakeholder engagement and commercial thinking

Why connect early:

Commercial finance roles are often filled before advertising
Early conversations allow for career shaping, not reactive moves
Market insight on role scope, progression, and remuneration
Confidential, consultative approach focused on long-term fit

Next steps:

If you are a Johannesburg-based CIMA professional exploring your next commercial move — or simply want to understand how the market is shifting — I’d be happy to connect.
