Financial Controller

Posted recently. We believe great workplaces are built on great people. We are looking for a Financial Controller in Midrand, and we encourage applicants from across Gauteng to consider this opportunity.

What This Role Involves

The Financial Controller position is part of an ongoing recruitment drive across Gauteng. The brief has been shaped carefully, with a focus on delivery in Midrand and across the finance jobs space.

Expect a structured first ninety days, with onboarding milestones, regular check-ins, and an early focus on getting comfortable with the systems and processes that underpin the Midrand team.

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 Midrand.

Day in the Life

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.

In addition, the Midrand 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.

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

Based in Midrand

On top of that, the role is based in Midrand, easy access via the N1 and N14 corridors. Public transport links and parking are within easy reach, making the daily commute manageable for candidates living across Midrand and the broader Gauteng region.

If you are relocating, the team can share practical pointers on neighbourhoods, transport and the typical pace of life in Midrand, Gauteng.

Accessibility is taken seriously: where the role allows, the team works toward a balance of in-office presence and flexibility for candidates based in and around Midrand.

• Liaise with external auditors, banks and regulatory bodies
• Process payment runs and resolve supplier queries timeously
• Maintain accurate general ledger entries and trial balance integrity
• Review expense claims against company policy and approval limits
• Capture supplier invoices, journals and bank transactions accurately
• Implement and monitor internal controls to mitigate financial risk

Candidate Profile

• Working towards SAICA, SAIPA or CIMA designation is preferred
• Experience supporting external audits is an advantage
• Understanding of internal controls and segregation of duties

Potential is considered alongside experience, so candidates who tick most of these boxes should still be considered.
