Now Hiring: Finance Manager (Acting CFO) | Startup Energy Sector | Stellenbosch

An innovative startup in the renewable energy/environmental solutions sector is looking for a hands-on, adaptable, and forward-thinking Finance Manager to join their small but growing team in Stellenbosch.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a qualified CIMA professional (or someone nearing completion) who's ready to step into a Finance Manager / Acting CFO role and build financial controls, reporting structures, and strategic finance capabilities from the ground up.

If you're seeking a meaningful role with flexibility, startup culture, and long-term growth potential — this is it.

Role Overview

The successful candidate will oversee the full finance function including management accounts, budgeting, forecasting, internal controls, and stakeholder reporting. You'll report directly to the CEO and play a key role in financial strategy and day-to-day financial operations in a business committed to driving sustainability and clean energy solutions.

Key Requirements

  • CIMA qualification strongly preferred (or currently studying towards completion)

  • 8+ years of experience in accounting, management accounting, or financial oversight roles

  • Strong understanding of budgeting, cashflow, and cost management in a fast-paced environment

  • Startup mindset — comfortable with ambiguity, hands-on work, and scaling systems

  • Preference for candidates outside of audit-heavy backgrounds (e.g., not traditional CA(SA)/SAICA articles)

  • Open to all ages and genders — female candidates preferred due to grant KPI requirements

  • Prior industry exposure in energy, petroleum, sustainability, or environmental sectors is beneficial, but not required

Key Competencies

  • Strong financial systems knowledge and report-building abilities

  • Ability to build finance processes from scratch

  • Confident communicator with the ability to present financials clearly to non-financial stakeholders

  • Strong sense of ownership and ability to work independently

Workplace Culture & Benefits

  • Startup environment – expect flexibility, innovation, and direct impact

  • Opportunity to shape the finance function in a mission-driven company

  • Flexible working hours / partial remote setup negotiable

Location: Stellenbosch, Western Cape
Employment Type: Full-Time, Permanent
Salary: R40,000 – R60,000 per month CTC (depending on experience)
