Driving budgeting, forecasting, cash flow planning, and variance analysis
Leading audits and managing tax compliance (VAT, PAYE, Company Tax, etc.)
Supporting project finance structuring and managing lender relationships
Driving improvements in financial systems, automation, and internal controls
Providing strategic financial insights to executive and board-level stakeholders
Ensuring compliance with financial, tax, and regulatory obligation

What we are looking for:

CA(SA) with 2-5 years post-articles experience
Strong background in financial reporting, consolidations, and compliance
Experience in project finance, treasury, or corporate finance is highly beneficial
Proven leadership and team management skills
Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication abilities
Experience working with tools like Xero, Draftworks, and ERP systems is advantageous
A self-starter who is commercially minded, detail-oriented, and adaptable
