Senior Financial Manager

Recruiter:

Network Recruitment

Job Ref:

NFC023979/ULR

Date posted:

Friday, March 6, 2026

Location:

Johannesburg, South Africa

SUMMARY:
Ever been the person in the room who actually enjoys reconciling things that don’t reconcile? Do IFRS standards spark more excitement than confusion? If so, keep reading - this might be your next career move.

POSITION INFO:
A well-established and respected financial services organisation is looking for a Financial Manager to join their finance leadership team. This role reports directly to a Senior Finance Leader and offers the opportunity to take ownership of a key finance portfolio while working closely with executives and auditors.

This is an ideal opportunity for a qualified CA(SA) who enjoys both the technical side of finance and strategic financial oversight.

What You’ll Be Doing:
Your days will include a mix of strategy, reporting, and ensuring that everything balances exactly the way it should, which encompasses:

Preparing monthly financial reports and performing insightful analysis
Presenting financial insights to executive leadership
Managing budgets and forecasting processes
Reviewing and processing monthly trial balances
Overseeing balance sheet reconciliations
Reviewing daily payments and supporting schedules
Supporting technical finance projects (including IFRS-related initiatives)
Preparing tax calculations for the entity
Assisting with investment-related financial statement sections
Taking ownership of the annual audit process and liaising with auditors
Handling ad hoc financial projects that inevitably pop up (because finance never sleeps)

The Type of Professional We’re Looking For:
You’ll do well in this role if you are someone who:

Has strong attention to detail (you notice the 0.01 difference that others miss)
Possesses solid IFRS technical knowledge
Communicates financial insights clearly and confidently
Enjoys problem-solving and critical thinking
Can work well independently and within a team
Handles deadlines and pressure like a seasoned finance professional
Brings drive, motivation, and a strong work ethic

Requirements:

CA(SA) qualification – essential
4–5 years' post-articles experience
Strong technical IFRS knowledge
Experience with financial reporting and audits
Exposure to SAGE and the Microsoft Suite
Tax knowledge advantageous
Exposure to the insurance or financial services industry beneficial

Why This Role Stands Out:

â Exposure to executive decision-making
â Ownership of a significant finance portfolio
â Opportunity to work on technical financial reporting initiatives
â A team environment where strong finance professionals thrive

And yes, the auditors will ask questions — but that’s why they need someone like you.

ð© If you’re a CA(SA) looking for your next strategic finance role, apply confidentially or reach out to discuss the opportunity further.
