Description:
About the Role:A leading player in the property and real estate development space is looking for a Financial Controller to bring order, insight, and a touch of magic to their multi-entity finance world. This is not a back-office box-ticking job this is where financial leadership and strategic thinking meet spreadsheets and real-world results.
Youll report to the Group Financial Manager and take full ownership of financial control and compliance across the group. If youre looking for a role where your decisions actually shape the business, then this is it.
What Youll Be Doing:

- Implementing and enforcing finance policies and best practices
- Preparing annual financial statements that actually make sense
- Delivering insightful monthly management reports to the team and Board
- Supporting annual budgeting and long-term financial planning
- Producing detailed, forward-looking cash flow forecasts
- Reviewing actuals vs budgets and helping steer the ship when needed
- Assisting with tax calculations (yes, even the provisional stuff)
- Being the finance go-to when "just one more thing" pops up (because it always does)
What Youll Need to Succeed:
- CA(SA) accreditation is essential
- Newly qualified CA(SA) or 1 years post-articles experience
- Strong leadership skills and a hands-on approach
- Experience with multi-entity reporting (bonus if in real estate or property)
- Deep knowledge of IFRS, tax regs, and South African financial compliance
