Gauteng: COST ACCOUNTANT (BANKING) posted by Stratlab Consulting (Pty) Ltd

COST ACCOUNTANT (BANKING)

This isn’t manufacturing costing. This isn’t standard “count-the-nuts-and-bolts” costing.
This is banking costing — where the products are invisible, the stakeholders are many, and the numbers move faster than a debit order you forgot about.

You’ll be the financial detective who:
– Hunts down cost drivers with scientific precision
– Breaks down allocations like a DJ dropping beats at Konka
– Runs budgeting, modelling, and forecasting that makes execs say “wow, finally someone gets it”
– Investigates variances like they personally offended you
– Turns insights into decisions that actually shift the bottom line

WHAT YOU NEED TO BRING

CIMA qualified or studying towards 

– Real, lived, earned costing experience in a banking environment
– Excel skills strong enough to make pivot tables fear you
– A brain that enjoys patterns and a personality that enjoys people
– The ability to simplify complexity without creating a 42-slide PowerPoint

BONUS POINTS IF YOU HAVE

– Experience with BI tools
– Exposure to digital banking or fintech
– A healthy relationship with spreadsheets

WHY YOU’LL LOVE THIS

Because it’s real influence. Real visibility. Real banking.
You’re not just filling in templates — you’re shaping decisions in one of Joburg’s biggest institutions (and yes, they actually listen).
