SUMMARY:
If you're fluent in cash flow, dream in trial balances, and can handle a financial audit without breaking a sweat — we’ve got something that’ll pique your interest.

POSITION INFO:
About the Role:
A leading player in the property and real estate development space is looking for a Financial Controller to bring order, insight, and a touch of magic to their multi-entity finance world. This is not a back-office box-ticking job — this is where financial leadership and strategic thinking meet spreadsheets and real-world results.
You’ll report to the Group Financial Manager and take full ownership of financial control and compliance across the group. If you’re looking for a role where your decisions actually shape the business — this is it.
What You’ll Be Doing:

Running the full financial function across a group of companies
Keeping everything above board — from compliance to external audits
Managing reconciliations like a pro: bank, debtors, creditors, intercompany, you name it
Implementing and enforcing finance policies and best practices
Preparing annual financial statements that actually make sense
Delivering insightful monthly management reports to the team and board
Supporting annual budgeting and long-term financial planning
Producing detailed, forward-looking cash flow forecasts
Reviewing actuals vs budgets — and helping steer the ship when needed
Assisting with tax calculations (yes, even the provisional stuff)
Being the finance go-to when “just one more thing” pops up (because it always does)

What You’ll Need to Succeed:

CA(SA) accreditation is essential
Newly Qualified CA(SA) or 1 year’s post article experience.
Strong leadership skills and a hands-on approach
Experience with multi-entity reporting (bonus if in real estate or property)
Deep knowledge of IFRS, tax regs, and South African financial compliance
