- Monitor cash flow and local treasury requirements (within guidelines set by HQ).
- Collaborate with the Group Finance team and Business Support Center to align reporting.
Qualifications
- Bachelors degree in finance, Accounting, or a related field.
- Proven experience in financial accounting, controlling, or auditing.
- Strong knowledge of South African financial regulations and tax requirements.
- Proficiency in financial systems and software.
- Excellent problem-solving and communication skills.
Preferred Skills

- Prior experience in a compliance or financial control capacity.
- Ability to work under pressure and meet deadlines.
