Group Finance and Management Accountant

SUMMARY:
If you’re the kind of CA(SA) who gets oddly satisfied when reconciliations balance to the cent, understands that a “month-end” is more of a lifestyle than a deadline, and can survive complex reporting cycles without emotionally shutting down, this confidential Group Finance and Management Accountant opportunity could be your next move.

POSITION INFO:
Join a high-performance corporate environment where innovation, financial control, and strategic growth are more than corporate buzzwords, they're how business gets done. Our client is a fast-paced, multi-entity organisation operating within a highly regulated and governance-driven environment. This Group Finance and Management Accountant role sits within the central finance function and plays a critical role in ensuring accurate financial reporting, compliance, and financial transparency across multiple business units and stakeholders. This is not your average \"process invoices and disappear quietly\" finance role. You'll be involved in Group reporting, technical accounting workstreams, compliance initiatives, forecasting, finance transformation projects, and executive-level finance support. You'll also work closely with senior finance leadership, external auditors, shared services teams, and operational finance divisions across the business. In other words: If you enjoy complexity, fast-moving environments, and solving finance problems that require more than just turning Excel off and on again, you'll probably enjoy this. This opportunity offers strong exposure within a modern, growth-focused business where finance is viewed as a strategic partner to the organisation.
