Job Ref:

Date posted:

Wednesday, December 17, 2025

Location:

Johannesburg, South Africa

SUMMARY:
Please note: This is not an active vacancy. I am building a specialized talent pipeline for upcoming opportunities.

I’m connecting with finance professionals, preferably CA(SA), who have 2+ years of management experience and thrive in operationally intensive, fast-moving environments.
Whether you’ve built your experience in logistics, FMCG, manufacturing, tech, fintech, renewable energy, engineering, SaaS, supply chain, or any other dynamic industry, I want to connect with individuals who don’t just report on performance; they drive it.
If you’re someone who enjoys being close to operations, solving problems, improving processes, supporting teams, and making finance work in real time, this talent search is for you.

POSITION INFO:
Typical Responsibilities You’re Likely Experienced In:

Managing the full finance function and leading small to mid-sized teams.
Overseeing operational finance: Debtors, Creditors, Cashbook, GL, stock, costing, etc.
Preparing management accounts, forecasts, budgets and performance reports.
Leading process improvements and strengthening internal controls.
Working closely with operations, supply chain, commercial, or technical teams.
Managing cash flow, working capital and high-volume month-end cycles.
Using data to identify issues, drive efficiencies and support decision-making.
Supporting audits, compliance, and ERP or systems enhancements.

Skills & Experience I’m Looking For:

CA(SA) preferred, but strong commercial finance professionals will be considered.
2+ years management experience in an operational finance or commercial finance environment.
Strong reporting, analytical and problem-solving capability.
Hands-on mindset with confidence to work closely with operations.
Exposure to interesting, high-performance, high-volume or non-traditional industries.
Advanced Excel and solid system experience (ERP, BI tools, automation exposure).
Strong communication skills with the ability to lead and influence cross-functional teams.
Passion for improving processes, driving performance and contributing to business optimization.

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.
