POSITION INFO:

Senior Financial Accountant (Future Financial Manager) | Pretoria East

If you’re the kind of accountant who doesn’t wait to be told what to do… this one’s for you.

We’re partnering with a fast-growing, high-impact technology business based in Pretoria East, an environment where things move quickly, decisions matter, and finance is a key driver of the business, not just a back-office function.

This is not your typical “keep the books ticking” role. This is for someone who owns the full financial function and is ready to step into a Financial Manager position in the near future.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll take full ownership of the finance function, including:

  • Managing Accounts Receivable & Accounts Payable
  • Full month-end and year-end processes
  • Handling VAT, PAYE, tax, and SARS compliance
  • Driving financial controls and reporting
  • Managing cash flow and operational finance
  • Working closely with leadership to support business decisions
  • Identifying areas for process improvement and automation

What We Need From You

We’re not looking for a CA(SA). We’re looking for someone who has done the work.

  • BCom Accounting / Honours or similar qualification
  • Proven track record of running the full financial function independently
  • Strong working knowledge of SARS, tax, VAT, PAYE, and compliance
  • Hands-on experience with:
    • Xero
    • Cin7
    • Accounting automation tools
  • Strong business acumen, someone who understands how finance impacts growth
  • A proactive mindset: you see what needs to be done and you get it done
  • Confident communicator, able to engage across the business
  • Independent, accountable, and solutions-driven
  • Commercially aware, you think beyond the numbers
  • Ambitious and ready to step up into a Financial Manager role
  • Comfortable in a fast-paced, evolving environment

Location & Setup

  • Based in Pretoria East (100% office-based)
  • Ideal for candidates in Centurion, Midrand, or Pretoria East
  • Open to candidates willing to commute

Why you should apply

This is your opportunity to step into a role where you’re not just maintaining a finance function, you’re shaping it.

You’ll join a business that’s scaling, innovating, and building something meaningful in the tech space. If you’re looking for that next step where your impact is visible and your growth is real… this is it.
