Own end-to-end transactional finance, including month-end and year-end processes
Lead and develop finance operations teams and team leads
Drive process optimisation, automation, and efficiency across finance
Strengthen controls, governance, and financial discipline
Play a key role in ERP system evaluation and implementation
Identify opportunities to centralise and streamline finance across group entities

What we're looking for:

CA(SA) preferred
4-7 years' post-articles experience
Strong background in operational/transactional finance
Experience in retail, e-commerce, fintech, or tech environments
Proven people management and leadership capability
Detail-oriented, hands-on, and process-driven mindset

What's in it for you:

Opportunity to shape and scale a high-performing finance function
Exposure to a dynamic, fast-paced, high-growth environment
Strong leadership partnership with an experienced CFO

If you're someone who takes ownership, sweats the details, and enjoys building efficient finance operations-this could be your next big move.
