Role Overview
You will play a key supporting role within the finance leadership structure, helping ensure financial integrity, operational visibility, and disciplined reporting across a high-transaction environment.
This role requires someone who is hands-on, detail-driven and intellectually curious, with the confidence to take ownership while working closely with senior stakeholders.
Key responsibilities will include:
- Supporting senior finance leadership with financial analysis and reporting
- Assisting with oversight of high-volume financial transactions and controls
- Preparing and reviewing financial information used in operational decision making
- Monitoring financial performance across business units
- Supporting budgeting, forecasting, and performance tracking
- Assisting with financial controls, reconciliations, and reporting accuracy
- Identifying areas for process improvement and operational efficiency
- Engaging with finance and operational teams across the business
Who This Role Suits
This opportunity will suit a driven newly qualified CA(SA) who:
- Takes pride in accuracy, accountability, and high standards
- Enjoys understanding how businesses operate beyond pure reporting
- Has strong analytical and problem-solving ability
- Is comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-transaction environment
- Is motivated by learning from experienced finance leaders
- Wants exposure that goes beyond a traditional desk-only finance role
Individuals who have demonstrated strong academic achievement, leadership potential, or high performance during articles will thrive in this environment.
Requirements
Requirements
- CA(SA) or eligible to register as CA(SA)
- Strong academic and professional track record
- Solid understanding of financial controls, reporting, and analysis
- Advanced Excel and analytical capability
- Strong attention to detail and sense of ownership
- Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-moving environment
Benefits

If you are ambitious, capable, and ready to learn from experienced leaders while contributing to a high-performing environment, this role offers exactly that platform.
