Key Responsibilities:

Partner closely with the CEO and executive team on business strategy and decision-making

Lead and support M&A activity, from deal evaluation through to post-merger integration
Oversee legal, statutory and regulatory compliance across multiple entities
Establish and maintain strong internal controls and risk management frameworks

Manage taxation, governance and consolidated financial reporting across the group
Lead, mentor and develop senior finance leadership teams

Who Belongs in This Seat:

CA(SA) qualified (non-negotiable)
10–12 years’ experience in financial management, with 5+ years at executive level
Proven track record leading at Board and Exco level
Strong experience within the services industry (non-negotiable)
Demonstrated M&A exposure and integration experience
Deep understanding of multi-entity, consolidated group reporting
Commercially sharp, decisive and influential; not just technically strong
