Description
Ready to be the right-hand finance partner in a fast-moving, project-driven business with operations across Africa?
This is a great opportunity for a CA(SA), 2–3 years post-articles, to step into a second-in-command finance role within a project-based engineering and operations environment. You'll work closely with the CFO, get real exposure to multi-entity, multi-currency operations across the continent, and build structure in areas where formal finance processes are still taking shape. This is a hands-on, agile environment rather than a big-corporate setup — ideal for someone who wants to make an impact and grow quickly into a senior finance leadership role.
What you'll be doing
- Supporting the CFO on financial strategy, governance, and compliance, and stepping in as deputy in their absence.
- Owning the month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close process, reporting both regionally and to Group.
- Overseeing project accounting — revenue recognition, cost tracking, margin analysis, and variance reporting — in partnership with project managers and project accountants.
- Driving cash flow planning, working capital management, and improvements to billing cycles and unbilled revenue.
- Managing and mentoring a small finance team, including project accountants, while building regional finance capability.
- Strengthening financial governance, risk management, and internal controls across multiple jurisdictions.
- Improving financial systems, reporting tools, and project accounting processes.
- Acting as a finance business partner to project managers, operations managers, and country managers.
