Work-Force
A Finance Manager is needed in Roodepoort. The role focuses on consistent delivery, accurate work and clear communication across the Gauteng operation.
Overview
The organisation is investing in its Roodepoort operation, and this Finance Manager position reflects that commitment. The successful candidate will work across the finance jobs function and contribute to the wider Gauteng business.
Communication runs both ways. Managers across the finance jobs team in Gauteng make time for one-to-ones, and people are expected to speak up early when something needs attention.
In addition, the role has been written to be sustainable, not just busy. Strong output is expected, and managers in Roodepoort also pay attention to recovery, learning and the kind of breathing room that keeps people doing good work over time.
About the Team
You will join a tight-knit, collaborative team that knows the finance jobs side of the business inside out. The Roodepoort group is a healthy mix of experienced operators and newer joiners, all of whom share a strong commitment to delivery and to one another.
Notably, the team mix in Roodepoort reflects a balance of experienced operators and emerging talent, with deliberate space for diverse voices and backgrounds.
Collaboration is the default working mode. Whether picking up a quick query or working through a complex project, you will find colleagues willing to lean in and help.
A Typical Day
Most days begin by working through your inbox, prioritising urgent supplier or audit queries before settling into the books. You move between reconciliations, journal entries and review meetings, breaking out spreadsheets when something doesn’t tie up. Mid-morning calls with operations or sales help you understand the numbers behind the numbers, and the afternoon is usually given to deeper work: management reports, tax submissions or supporting a junior with a tricky reconciliation. By the time you log off, you have nudged the business closer to a clean month-end.
Crucially, the Roodepoort office buzzes through peak hours and settles into focused, productive lulls in between, giving you time to plan and reset before the next stretch of work.
On top of that, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Gauteng operations throw up the unexpected.
Our Commitment to Transformation
Crucially, the organisation is committed to transformation and equal opportunity. Hiring is on merit, and applications are actively encouraged from women, youth, people with disabilities and other historically disadvantaged groups in line with the Employment Equity plan and B-BBEE objectives.
B-BBEE compliance is more than a scorecard here. It informs how the business invests in skills development, supplier diversity and community engagement across the country.
Practical steps back the words. Structured EE reporting, transformation initiatives and learnership programmes give real opportunities to candidates from across Gauteng.
