Gauteng: Regional Finance Manager posted by Smith Garb

What You’ll Actually Be Doing

Seeing the bigger picture
You’ll keep an eye on what’s happening in the healthcare space — trends, legislation, industry shifts — and help the region stay ahead of it all.
Owning the regional financial engine
Budgets, forecasts, controls, reporting, VAT, reconciliations… the whole ecosystem. You’ll make sure everything is tight, accurate, and supports better decision-making.
Turning data into direction
You’ll unpack profitability, ROI, revenue and cost drivers — and show leaders where they can win, improve, or save.
Driving financial governance
Audits, internal controls, compliance, risk — you’ll be the guardian of good practice and strong discipline.
Making deals make sense
You’ll review and influence agreements, joint ventures, new business opportunities, feasibility work, modelling, and anything that needs commercial thinking.
Leading people
You’ll guide and uplift finance leaders across the region — building capabilities, strengthening culture, and supporting transformation.
Championing improvement
From digital tools to smarter processes to operational efficiencies (including shared services like regional laundry), you’ll help the region work better and more seamlessly.

Who Will Thrive in This Role

• CA(SA) — non-negotiable
• At least 5 to 8 years’ senior financial management experience
• Healthcare exposure = a big plus (revenue models, cost structures, regulatory environment)
• Someone who enjoys complexity, variety, and influencing decisions
• A steady, confident leader who can build relationships and move things forward
• Solid understanding of the South African healthcare legislative landscape is highly advantageous

Why It’s a Great Move

Because this is the kind of role where your decisions genuinely matter.
You get to work with smart people, solve real problems, and help a region deliver better, more efficient healthcare — while growing your own leadership footprint.
