Finance Manager

Whether you are an experienced Finance Manager or stepping into the role for the first time, there is space for you in Queenstown. The team hires on merit and across communities in Eastern Cape.

The Role

An experienced Finance Manager is needed to support operations in Queenstown. The role forms part of how the business keeps its finance jobs portfolio strong in Eastern Cape.

Communication runs both ways. Managers across the finance jobs team in Eastern Cape make time for one-to-ones, and people are expected to speak up early when something needs attention.

Reasonable working hours and respectful planning are part of how the role runs. The team values strong delivery, and load is balanced fairly across the finance jobs group in Queenstown.

Internal documentation, process notes and shared playbooks make it easier for the Finance Manager to step into the finance jobs workflow quickly. Institutional knowledge is well-organised, so people are not reinventing the wheel from one week to the next.

What Your Day Looks Like

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.

The rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Eastern Cape operations throw up the unexpected.

No two days look exactly the same — and that variety is part of what keeps the role engaging for the right candidate in Queenstown.

Crucially, the Queenstown 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.
