SUMMARY:
Are you an Accountant with big dreams and an even bigger calculator? This is your chance to move from number cruncher to future top management in an IT company that’s scaling faster than your Excel shortcuts.

POSITION INFO:
If the idea of working in a slow, corporate silo makes your eyes glaze over — good news, this isn’t that. This Johannesburg North-based IT company is fast-paced, future-focused, and fiercely innovative. They don’t just break boundaries — they build new ones.
They’re on the hunt for a Financial Accountant who’s equal parts numbers guru and strategic thinker. You’ll be the CFO’s second brain, ready to roll up your sleeves and take ownership of critical finance functions.
It’s more than month-ends and balance sheets — you’ll have a voice in the room, a seat at the strategy table, and the chance to make a real impact.
Your growth curve? Up and to the right.
Key Responsibilities:

Own the full accounting function: processing, reconciliation, journals, and making the books look beautiful
Keep financial statements squeaky clean and IFRS-compliant
Team up with HR to make sure payroll and salaries run smoother than your morning coffee
Help steer the cash flow ship with accurate forecasting and analysis
Be the CFO’s right hand — think strategy, insight, and support that goes beyond the numbers

Job Experience and Skills Required:

Bcom Accounting and SAICA/ SAIPA accreditation
2+ years post article experience is preferred
IFRS compliance wizardry, general ledger pro, payroll-savvy, and fluent in financial statements
A self-starter with sharp communication skills and big-picture thinking
