We’re looking for an experienced Finance Manager to take on a pivotal fixed-term leadership role, driving process improvement and embedding change across finance operations. Reporting directly to the GM Finance, this role is your chance to lead a multi-disciplinary team through a period of transformation while ensuring smooth day-to-day operations.

About the Role:

As Finance Manager, you’ll oversee accounts payable, accounts receivable, billing, credit control, and financial accounting functions. Your key responsibilities will include:

• Leading daily transaction processing to ensure accuracy and timeliness.
• Owning the month-end close process, including journal entries, reconciliations, and financial statement preparation.
• Driving improvements in order-to-cash processes to eliminate inefficiencies and ensure clean data flows into the general ledger.
• Ensuring compliance with statutory reporting obligations such as GST and PAYE.
• Collaborating with the Finance Systems and Data Lead to enhance procurement and revenue systems.
• Managing external audit relationships and preparing for seamless transitions.
• Supporting the GM Finance in building frameworks for direct oversight post-transition.
• Leading and developing your team through this period of change while maintaining engagement and stability.

What Success Looks Like:

You’ll know you’ve succeeded when:

• The order-to-cash cycle is reliable, well-documented, and producing clean data that integrates seamlessly into the general ledger.
• Month-end close is completed accurately and on time every period.
• Process improvements are progressing against milestones, with high confidence in data quality across functions.
• The transition to GM Finance oversight is well-prepared with clear processes, role accountabilities, and stable team performance.

About You:

We’re looking for someone who brings:

• A strong background in both financial operations (AP, AR, billing) and financial control (accounting, reporting).
• Leadership experience across these areas during periods of change or improvement.
• CA qualification (or equivalent) with expertise in financial reporting, close management, and process redesign.
• A process-driven mindset with proven ability to map and improve order-to-cash or procure-to-pay workflows.
• Effective people leadership skills to guide a team through transition while maintaining engagement.
• High standards for accuracy and systematic financial control practices.

Why Join?
