Recruiter:

Network Recruitment

Job Ref:

NFC023861/CL

Date posted:

Thursday, February 12, 2026

Location:

Johannesburg, South Africa

SUMMARY:
Are you the kind of CA(SA) who likes being close to the action, not boxed into a reporting-only role? This is a hands-on Group Finance Manager opportunity for a commercially minded leader who wants real influence, real responsibility, and real impact. If you enjoy working directly with business owners, driving performance, and getting involved operationally, this role will feel less like a job and more like a seat at the table.

POSITION INFO:
Our client is a fast-growing, owner-managed group operating in a dynamic, asset-backed environment. The business is entrepreneurial, performance-driven, and values leaders who take ownership rather than wait for instruction. The Group Finance Manager will take full accountability for the group finance function across multiple entities, partnering closely with operational teams and shareholders to guide strategy, strengthen governance, and improve financial performance.

Key Responsibilities

Oversee group-level financial management across multiple entities.
Drive budgeting, forecasting, cash flow management and financial controls.
Lead, mentor and develop finance teams across the group.
Partner with shareholders and operations on strategy execution and performance improvement.
Ensure strong governance, compliance and accurate group consolidations.
Improve systems, processes and reporting to support business growth.

Job Experience and Skills Required

Qualified CA(SA), non-negotiable.
Minimum 8 to 10 years post-articles experience in a financial leadership role.
Proven experience in group reporting, consolidations and operational finance.
Experience working closely with business owners or senior executives.
Exposure to asset-heavy, property, infrastructure, or investment-style environments is advantageous but not essential.
Demonstrated people leadership and team management experience.
Strong technical accounting and commercial finance capability.
Advanced Excel and financial systems experience.
Comfortable working in a hands-on, fast-moving environment.
Strong communication, leadership and decision-making skills.
Willingness to engage with teams across locations.
High accountability, resilience and ownership mindset.
Ability to balance strategic thinking with operational execution.
