SUMMARY:

Ready to trade repetitive reconciliations for real commercial influence?

If you are a newly qualified CA(SA) who did not complete articles just to stay stuck in routine reporting, this role offers exposure where finance truly drives the business. This opportunity places you at head office within a multinational automotive retail and property development group, operating across multiple high-volume business units.

This is a high-energy, operationally embedded finance environment where data, systems, and strategy intersect. As a Head Office Accountant / Analyst, you will work closely with senior leadership, providing insights that inform decisions, improve performance, and shape business outcomes. It is an ideal platform for a CA(SA) looking to build strong commercial acumen, systems expertise, and strategic visibility beyond pure compliance.

POSITION INFO:
Key Responsibilities

Perform internal audits focused on system integrations, including Point-of-Sale platforms
Analyse financial data to identify trends, risks, inefficiencies, and growth opportunities
Compile daily, weekly, and monthly financial and management reports
Extract, interpret, and present data in a clear, concise, and commercially relevant manner
Prepare detailed accounting schedules and supporting documentation
Assist with ad hoc initiatives, including strategic and operational financial analysis
Review management accounts, budgets, and forecasts for accuracy and insight

Job Experience and Skills Required

Newly qualified CA(SA) or eligible for CA(SA) registration
Recently completed SAICA articles
Exposure to audit, accounting, and analytical functions
Intermediate Excel proficiency (pivot tables, formulas, data analysis)
Experience working with Pastel or Sage
Strong analytical, problem-solving, and critical-thinking skills
Inquisitive mindset with solid commercial awareness
Comfortable handling large volumes of data
Ability to perform in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment
High level of attention to detail, ownership, and accountability

Why This Role Stands Out:

Join a stable, performance-driven business where your expertise will be visible, valued and influential. You will have the autonomy to strengthen financial structures, influence strategic decisions and contribute directly to long-term regional success.
If you are ready to step into a role offering scale, impact and meaningful responsibility, apply today.
