Western Cape: Head of Finance posted by Network Finance

About the Role

This is a full-ownership finance leadership role within a bold, people-centric organisation that values collaboration, strategic insight, and proactive thinking.
You’ll take charge of the entire finance function — from daily operations to long-term financial direction. Expect influence at the leadership table, autonomy to elevate processes, and the space to make measurable impact.
This is a hands-on, high-visibility opportunity for a finance professional who enjoys rolling up their sleeves and getting close to the commercial action.

What You’ll Take On

• Drive the financial strategy that underpins growth and long-term success
• Monitor and improve cost control, margins, and financial performance
• Manage cash flow, capital, and assets with precision
• Ensure strong governance, compliance, and audit readiness
• Oversee the end-to-end finance function with a focus on excellence
• Identify financial and operational risks before they escalate
• Partner with senior leadership on strategy, planning, and key business decisions
• Own revenue planning, financial modelling, and forecasting

What You Bring

• BCom Accounting/Finance + CA(SA) qualification (non-negotiable)
• 5+ years’ accounting experience, with at least
• 2+ years in a Financial Manager or senior finance leadership capacity
• A solutions-driven, commercially intelligent leadership approach
• Confidence working in a fast-paced, high-growth environment
• A hands-on mindset with the ability to balance detail with big-picture strategy

Technical Skills

• Advanced Microsoft Office proficiency
• Xero experience is essential
• Exposure to SimplePay, Cin7, and Shopify will give you an edge

Why This Role Stands Out

This is not your typical corporate finance seat.
You’ll be joining a company with energy, ambition, and a distinct identity, where finance is a strategic partner — not a back-office afterthought. Your insights will matter, your ideas will be welcomed, and your influence will shape how the business scales.
If you’re ready to lead with confidence, bring structure without losing spark, and partner with a team that values momentum, this role offers the perfect blend of strategy, autonomy, and purpose.
