Reporting Finance Manager

SUMMARY:
Reporting Financial Manager wanted in JHB!

POSITION INFO:

This role exists to protect that standard. It sits at the core of a complex, multi-entity environment where accuracy, compliance, and judgement are non-negotiable.
This is a senior technical finance role for a qualified CA(SA) who can move comfortably between IFRS interpretation, statutory reporting, tax governance, and leadership accountability. The Financial Reporting Manager is not here to maintain the status quo, but to strengthen controls, modernise reporting processes, and ensure the business remains compliant, resilient, and commercially informed.
