Location:

Cape Town, South Africa

SUMMARY:
Take Your CA(SA) Title Out of the Slow Lane - Step into Head Office Impact.

POSITION INFO:
You did not survive articles just to reconcile the same schedules on repeat.

If you are a newly qualified CA(SA) ready to move out of first gear and into a role where your analysis influences decisions, this is your opportunity to sit at the heart of the business.

Our client is a multinational automotive retail and property development group, operating at scale across multiple business units. This is a fast-moving, commercially driven environment where finance is deeply embedded in operations, systems and strategy, not siloed in the back office.

The Opportunity:
As a Head Office Finance Analyst, you will step into a hands-on, analytical role where finance meets data, systems and decision-making. Your work will directly support executive leadership and operational teams, giving you exposure well beyond compliance and reporting.

This role is an ideal launchpad for a CA(SA) looking to build commercial depth, systems understanding and strategic insight early in their career.

What You Will Be Doing:

Deliver actionable financial insights to support executive and operational decision-making
Analyse financial and operational data to identify trends, risks and commercial opportunities
Perform internal audits across key financial areas, including system and Point-of-Sale integrations
Prepare and review daily, weekly and monthly management reports, budgets and forecasts
Extract, interrogate and present complex data in a clear, business-focused format
Support ad hoc initiatives and strategic projects through commercial and financial analysis

What We Are Looking For:

Newly qualified CA(SA) or eligible to register
Recently completed SAICA articles
Exposure to audit, accounting and analytical work
Intermediate Excel skills (pivot tables, formulas, and data analysis)
Experience with Pastel or Sage
Strong analytical and problem-solving ability
Comfortable working with large data sets
High attention to detail with strong accountability

Why This Role?:
If you’re ready to take your CA(SA) designation out of the slow lane and into a role with pace, exposure and real impact, this could be the career move that accelerates your growth.

Apply now to take the next step in your finance career and join a professional, supportive, and forwardâthinking finance environment.
