Finance Manager CA(SA)

SUMMARY:
If you’re a top-tier CA(SA) who doesn’t blend into the crowd, this is for you. I work with high-performing, commercially sharp finance professionals who want more than just another role on their CV. I partner with elite businesses across Durban that value brains, work ethic, and real impact. This is not about filling seats. It’s about connecting the best of the best CA(SA)s with opportunities that move careers forward. If you take pride in how you qualified, how you perform, and where you’re heading next, you’ll want to be on my radar.

POSITION INFO:
What’s in it for you? I represent a network of high-growth, well-run, commercially driven organizations where Finance Managers are treated as business partners. My clients look for CAs who can influence, lead, and build. If you’re selective about your next move, value confidentiality, and want someone in your corner who understands the finance market properly, this is exactly that. The upside? Access to roles before they hit the market, career guidance, and representation that positions you properly.
