A senior finance leadership role for a technically strong CA(SA) who thrives on complexity, transformation, and operational excellence. This is an opportunity to shape a future-fit finance function within a global technology-led organisation undergoing significant systems and structural change.
This role sits at the heart of financial integrity and business transformation. You will take full ownership of statutory and group reporting while leading critical elements of a major ERP migration from Oracle to SAP.

The role reports into senior finance leadership and plays a key part in designing a finance function that is digitally enabled, globally aligned, and built for scale. You will work closely with stakeholders across Africa, EMEA, and Japan, balancing technical rigour with practical business partnering.
Our client is a large, multinational technology and services organisation with a strong footprint across Africa and global connectivity into EMEA and Asia. The business is investing heavily in modernising its finance capability, systems, and operating model to support long-term growth and standardisation.
What Youll Do
-
Own month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close processes, ensuring accuracy and timeliness.
-
Prepare and review financial statements in line with IFRS and group policies.
-
Manage statutory, regulatory, and tax compliance across relevant jurisdictions.
-
Lead and coordinate the external audit process as the primary point of contact.
-
Act as Finance Business Lead for the One ERP migration from Oracle to SAP.
-
Drive finance transformation initiatives aligned to system and process modernisation.
-
Partner with FP&A and commercial teams on forecasting, budgeting, and financial insights.
-
Lead, develop, and reshape a high-performing financial accounting team.
What You Bring
-
CA(SA) qualification is essential.
-
Strong technical accounting background with deep IFRS expertise.
-
Proven experience in financial accounting leadership within a complex organisation.
-
Hands-on involvement in ERP implementations or migrations, ideally Oracle to SAP.
-
Confidence managing audits, statutory reporting, and regulatory compliance.
-
Strong stakeholder management skills across geographies and cultures.
-
Ability to operate effectively through change, ambiguity, and tight timelines.
What Success Looks Like
-
Clean, compliant, and consistently accurate financial reporting.
-
A smooth and well-governed ERP migration from a finance perspective.
-
Improved efficiency, controls, and automation within the finance function.
-
A capable, future-ready finance team aligned to global best practice.
-
Trusted finance leadership that supports strategic decision-making.
