SUMMARY:
A high-performing, fast-paced organisation is looking for a hands-on Group Financial Accountant to take ownership of the full reporting function across multiple entities within a dynamic shared services environment.
This is not a “reporting-only” role — you will be deep in the detail, driving accuracy, control, and delivery across the finance function.
POSITION INFO:
What You’ll Be Responsible For
- Full balance sheet ownership across multiple entities
- Preparation and review of audit packs and AFS

- Budgeting and forecasting support
- BEE and secretarial exposure
- Oversight of AR/AP and shared services processes
- Driving process improvements, controls, and efficiencies

- BCom / BCompt (CA(SA) / SAIPA / CIMA advantageous)
- 3–6 years’ experience in a group or multi-entity environment
- Strong balance sheet and reporting experience (non-negotiable)
- Proven audit and tax exposure
- Experience working in a shared services / high-volume environment
- Hands-on, detail-driven, and deadline-focused
- Ability to operate in a high-pressure, delivery-driven environment
Non-Negotiables

- You are not purely operational OR purely reporting — you can do both
- You are comfortable being hands-on in journals, recons, and reporting
- You have worked in a structured, deadline-driven environment
