The current landscape is highly data-intensive and evolving meaning you’ll be at the forefront of improving reporting accuracy, enhancing processes, and supporting the transition from manual workarounds to a more automated, data-driven future.

• Collaborate with stakeholders across the business to drive data-driven decision-making

Job Experience and Skills Required:

• Qualified CA(SA)
• 1–3 years’ post-articles experience in FP&A, management accounting, or financial analysis

• Experience with automation tools (Macros/VBA, Power Query)
• Exposure to financial modelling and reporting
• High attention to detail and strong analytical ability
