  • In-depth knowledge of both private sector (e.g., GAAP, IFRS) and public sector (e.g., GRAP, IAS, IFRS, King IV, MFMA, PFMA) financial reporting standards, as well as cost accounting, financial analysis, auditing, and the Companies Act.
  • Solid understanding of financial markets, banking, and the municipal operating environment.
  • Proven experience in analyzing, interpreting, and integrating financial data into credit rating models.
  • Strong proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite, particularly Excel (advanced level), and experience with quantitative and qualitative credit rating models.
  • Demonstrated ability to conduct detailed credit evaluations and debt sustainability analyses, and deliver high-quality reports for decision-making.
  • Proven track record in managing multiple deadlines in a high-pressure environment.

 

Desirable Requirements:

  • Knowledge of financial structuring and conducting business in Africa will be a significant advantage.
  • An Honors degree in Finance or Accounting, CA(SA), or professional certifications such as GARP CFA, FRM, CFI FMVA, or CBSA would be an added advantage.
