Financial Analyst | Strategic Finance Role

About

O’Brien Recruitment is partnering with a well-established logistics and supply chain business based in Constantia. Operating across freight forwarding, customs clearance, and end-to-end logistics solutions, the business supports a diverse portfolio of local and international clients.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a commercially minded, operationally hands-on organisation that places strong emphasis on data, systems, and informed decision-making as it continues to grow.

This is not a back-office reporting role. From day one, you will have ownership, visibility, and direct exposure to senior leadership.

This role is ideally suited to someone who values structure and autonomy, and who wants to make a meaningful impact within a growing organisation.

This role offers excellent exposure to the strategic side of finance within a growing business — ideal for someone looking to broaden their perspective beyond compliance and step into a more commercially impactful role.

If you are driven, analytical, and ready to contribute at a strategic level, we would welcome your application.

Responsibilities

• Strengthening and refining financial reporting
• Improving internal processes and controls
• Translating financial data into clear, actionable insights

Requirements

Psychometric assessments will form part of the process, with a strong focus on analytical ability, strategic thinking, and composure under pressure.

Working Environment

• Based in Constantia, with flexible working hours
• Preference for in-office collaboration, with some remote flexibility
• Transparent, growth-oriented culture where accountability and initiative are highly valued
