A fast-paced, commercially driven environment where strong thinkers thrive
Exposure to modelling, forecasting, treasury, funding, and corporate finance activities
A role suited to someone ambitious, intellectually curious, and eager to grow

This role will suit someone who:

Is naturally analytical and commercially sharp
Thinks beyond the numbers and enjoys solving business problems
Learns quickly and adapts easily in changing environments
Has strong leadership potential and enjoys driving improvements
Wants to build a long-term career in a high-performance environment

Requirements:

CA(SA) - non-negotiable
Minimum 3 years post-articles experience
Strong IFRS and financial reporting knowledge
Commercial mindset with strong analytical ability
Advanced financial/business modelling capability, or the aptitude to quickly develop it
Cape Town-based candidates only

Advantageous:
