You will

  • Support audits, tax and statutory work : Help coordinate audit requests, tax submissions, statutory filings, governance records and supporting documentation across the companies group entities. Youll make sure requests are logged, owners are clear, evidence is gathered, advisers are followed up and deadlines are visible.
  • Bring structure to messy finance workstreams : Build and maintain practical trackers, calendars, checklists and document repositories for recurring Finance & Legal obligations. Youll help turn scattered email threads, adviser comments and internal discussions into clear action plans.
  • Improve finance operations : Support day-to-day finance workflows including payment processes, approval flows, reconciliation support, documentation packs, month-end support and recurring reporting tasks. Youll be expected to spot opportunities to make these processes cleaner and more repeatable.
  • Use AI to build scalable systems : Apply AI tools and automation thoughtfully within the Finance function for example to summarise messy information, improve trackers, draft and maintain reusable documentation, build checklists, automate repeatable workflows, create better templates, and reduce manual rework.
  • Coordinate across countries and advisers: Work with Finance team members, country owners, auditors, tax advisers, legal advisers, accountants and payment providers. Youll need to follow up persistently, ask clear questions, and escalate blockers early.
  • Support cross-border finance topics : Assist with practical work around intercompany balances, entity funding flows, FX exposure, upstreaming constraints, management recharges and related-party documentation, while escalating specialist judgement calls to senior finance leaders or external advisers.
  • Own commercial outcomes : Being in Finance at company is not about sitting behind a spreadsheet. Youll be expected to understand how finance, tax, governance and compliance work affects the real business, and to help make practical things happen.

Ideal background

  • Education : Accounting, finance, business, economics or related degree.
  • Professional background : CA(SA), ACCA, CIMA, CPA, articles, audit background or equivalent professional training is strongly preferred. A recently qualified CA, CIMA or similar profile would be a strong fit.
  • Experience: 0-2 years of relevant post-training experience in audit, financial reporting, tax, governance, regulatory, financial services, fintech, lending, emerging markets or a multi-entity group environment. Financial Services background or experience is preferable.
  • Technical Skills: Strong accounting and finance foundations; comfort with audit requests
