Description
Fancy a finance role where you're genuinely hands-on, not just signing off on other people's work?
This is an opportunity to join a close-knit, founder-run business in Cape Town's Southern Suburbs, where finance sits right at the centre of how the business runs day to day. It's a practical, all-rounder role in an environment that values getting things done as much as technical polish.
What you'll be doing
- Owning the full accounting cycle across multiple related companies, from general ledger through to month and year-end.
- Leading a small finance team and acting as a key point of contact for other departments.
- Reviewing cashbooks, credit cards, and petty cash, and keeping financial controls tight.
- Managing creditors and debtors, including payments, collections, and supplier relationships.
- Handling monthly balance sheet reconciliations, including intercompany accounts, and chasing down variances quickly.
- Taking care of statutory and SARS submissions (VAT201, EMP201) via e-Filing.
- Reviewing payroll for accuracy and compliance (processing itself is outsourced).
- Preparing budgets, forecasts, and weekly cash flow, and tracking performance against plan.
- Compiling board packs and management reports with clear, useful commentary.
- Acting as the key liaison for the annual audit and a hands-on sounding board for senior management.
