  • Leverage ERP systems (SAP, Oracle, JDE) to streamline processes, enhance data accuracy, and deliver actionable insights on production costs and variances.
  • Oversee CAPEX planning, approval processes, and post-implementation reviews to ensure optimal return on investment.
  • Ensure adherence to financial policies, internal controls, and regulatory requirements.
  • Mentor and guide finance team members, fostering a culture of accountability and continuous improvement.
Job Experience & Skills Required:
  • SAICA-accredited BCom Accounting Degree (or equivalent).

  • 5+ years post-articles experience, preferably in a manufacturing or heavy industrial environment.
  • Strong knowledge of standard costing, production variances, and inventory valuation.

  • Experience in metal manufacturing, mining, heavy engineering, or automotive will be highly advantageous.
  • Exceptional analytical skills with the ability to translate financial data into strategic insights.
