Job Description

A growing investment-focused business in Cape Town is looking for an experienced and technically strong Senior Finance Manager to lead financial operations across the group and its project entities. Reporting directly into executive leadership, this role offers a broad scope from consolidations and compliance through to budgeting, project finance structuring, and stakeholder engagement. This is a hands-on position that will suit a qualified finance professional who thrives in a dynamic, fast-paced environment and enjoys building robust financial systems, leading people, and driving strategic insights.

Why join the team?
You'll step into a business that's scaling with purpose, giving you exposure to strategic decision-making, direct access to the C-suite, and the opportunity to help shape the financial backbone of both current and future ventures. You'll also have the chance to build and mentor a growing finance team, while working closely with external partners including investors, auditors, and lenders. It's a unique opportunity to make your mark in a commercially minded, entrepreneurial environment.
 
What you will be doing:
  • Leading and mentoring junior finance staff
  • Managing financial operations across group and project companies
  • Preparing and reviewing consolidated financial statements (IFRS / IFRS for SMEs)
  • Driving budgeting, forecasting, cash flow planning, and variance analysis
  • Leading audits and managing tax compliance (VAT, PAYE, Company Tax, etc.)
  • Supporting project finance structuring and managing lender relationships
  • Driving improvements in financial systems, automation, and internal controls
  • Providing strategic financial insights to executive and board-level stakeholders
  • Ensuring compliance with financial, tax, and regulatory obligation
What we are looking for:
  • CA(SA) with 2–5 years post-articles experience
  • Strong background in financial reporting, consolidations, and compliance
  • Experience in project finance, treasury, or corporate finance is highly beneficial
  • Proven leadership and team management skills
  • Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication abilities
  • Experience working with tools like Xero, Draftworks, and ERP systems is advantageous
  • A self-starter who is commercially minded, detail-oriented, and adaptable
If you haven't heard back from us within two weeks of submitting your application, unfortunately your application has not been successful this time. We'd still love to stay connected, follow us online and keep an eye out for future opportunities that match your profile.
