African Financial Growth Opportunities

At the Absa Group, we empower Africa's tomorrow by empowering its people today. With over 100 years of rich history and a strong presence in the region, our bank offers a unique chance to be part of an exciting growth journey. Our Group Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) team supports decision-making within the organisation through the provision of relevant financial information and analysis at a Group-wide level.

We aim to deliver strategic insights into the Group based on historic trends as well as forward-looking ambitions. The value of robust financial analysis cannot be overstated. By offering a clear picture of an organisation's financial health and performance, FP&A enables senior leadership to identify strengths, weaknesses and growth opportunities. This analysis extends beyond simple financial metrics, incorporating broader market trends and competitive dynamics to provide a holistic view of the business landscape.

  • Interact with other departments such as Treasury, Risk and Group Tax may be necessary to provide comfort and assurance that more technical aspects of submissions have been scrutinized and appear reasonable given the Group's economic outlook

Additional Responsibilities

  • Execute ad-hoc queries that are dependent on external and internal requirements and vary considerably throughout the year
  • Attend various committee meetings where one will use understanding of e.g. margins, impairment trends or economic understanding to provide a valuable contribution
  • Provide other departments with a range of information (analysis, forecasts and actual financial data etc.) to perform their respective tasks

Reporting and Presentations

  • Compile briefing packs used as summary and in some instances as additional detail for the annual and half-year end financial statements
  • Compile quick reference packs engaging with stakeholders such as Investor Relations and various business unit representatives to ascertain possible topical subjects and key financial data for the relevant period
  • Attend investor 'one-on-one' sessions where one would either play a support role to a more senior Absa representative or through a more passive role for educational purposes

People Development

  • Peer responsibility: Coach, inspire, engage, mentor and develop finance and business savvy leaders
