Company and Job Description:

In a business where consistency matters just as much as capability, this is a Financial Controller role built for someone who values stability, ownership, and doing things properly the first time.
A well-established technology-driven organisation is looking for a Financial Controller to take full ownership of the finance function and act as a trusted right-hand to leadership.

You’ll be responsible for keeping the financial engine running smoothly while strengthening controls, reporting, and decision support across the business.
If you’re a professional who prefers building something solid over chasing constant change, this role offers real career depth, not just a job title.

Key Responsibilities

• Oversee the full finance function from trial balance through to management and statutory reporting
• Prepare monthly management accounts with clear commentary and analysis
• Manage budgeting, forecasting, and cash flow planning
• Ensure strong financial controls, compliance, and audit readiness
• Review balance sheet reconciliations and maintain reporting integrity
• Support leadership with accurate financial insight and commercial decision-making

Job Experience and Skills Required

• BCom degree with completed SAICA/SAIPA articles
• Minimum of 3 years post-article experience in a Financial Controller or senior accounting role
• Strong technical accounting and reporting capability
• Proven stability and tenure in previous roles
• Solid Excel skills and experience working with ERP systems
