Junior Finance Manager

Job Description

Join a well-established and respected financial services group as a Junior Finance Manager, working across multiple entities and high-impact sectors. You’ll be part of a professional, close-knit team that values precision, growth, and long-term development offering the chance to build a strong technical finance foundation in a dynamic environment.

 

 What you will be doing:

You’ll be responsible for the internal finance function for two group entities, with a focus on financial control, reporting, and compliance. This role is distinct from the project-facing finance roles and will sit slightly apart due to confidentiality.

 

Key responsibilities include:

• Monthly bookkeeping, management accounts, and payroll processing
• Processing of advanced journals and reconciliations
• Preparation of budgets, variance analysis, and project expenditure tracking
• SARS communication and preparation of tax returns (VAT, Company Tax, etc.)
• Assisting with audits, consolidations, and financial reporting
• Preparing IFRS for SME-compliant financial statements
• Liaising directly with the Group Financial Manager

What we are looking for:

• Newly qualified and registered CA(SA)
• 1–2 years of post-articles accounting experience
• Hands-on experience with accounting tools like Xero and Draftworks
• Familiarity with SARS processes and correspondence
• Strong attention to detail and analytical thinking
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Organised, reliable, and able to work with a high level of confidentiality
• A self-starter who is eager to grow into a senior finance role over time
• This is an ideal fit for someone looking for a more traditional financial management role within a dynamic, project-based environment

Benefits and unique aspects:

• Direct mentorship from an experienced Group Financial Manager
• Growth path into senior finance leadership
• Exposure to a multi-entity finance structure in a high-impact environment
• Professional, people-first team culture with a long-term focus
