What you’ll bring

• The ability to translate technical accounting, financial or system complexities into clear, business-friendly language, helping others understand not just what needs to change, but why it matters.

• The ability to see the bigger picture, understanding how changes impact end-to-end processes, cross-functional dependencies and the broader Finance operating model.
• A tertiary qualification in Accounting, Commerce or a related discipline (or working towards), with CA or CPA qualification (or intention to complete).
