Group Financial Accountant

About

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.

Duties & Responsibilities

What You’ll Be Responsible For

• Full balance sheet ownership across multiple entities
• Preparation and review of audit packs and AFS
• Monthly management accounts and reporting deadlines
• Journals, accruals, provisions, and reconciliations
• Tax, VAT, and statutory compliance
• Budgeting and forecasting support
• BEE and secretarial exposure
• Oversight of AR/AP and shared services processes
• Driving process improvements, controls, and efficiencies

What We’re Looking For

• 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 have personally owned the full finance function or key reporting areas
• 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
