This is not a live vacancy. This is a proactive talent search for future roles. I’m building a specialized talent pool of Operational Financial Managers who are deeply involved in the day-to-day running of a business; not just month-end reporting.

This advert is aimed at finance professionals who thrive close to operations, enjoy rolling up their sleeves, and play a visible role in driving control, efficiency, and accountability across the business.

If your strength lies in understanding how the numbers are created on the ground, not just how they’re reported, this talent network is for you.

Your Operational Experience Likely Includes:

• Full hands-on ownership of the finance function
• Close involvement in Debtors, Creditors, Cashbook, Payroll, GL and Stock
• Managing cash flow, working capital and cost control daily
• Partnering with operations, production, supply chain or sales teams
• Reviewing journals, reconciliations and resolving variances at source
• Driving financial discipline and accountability across departments
• Preparing management accounts with real operational insight, not just commentary
• Improving processes, tightening controls and fixing inefficiencies
• Leading small to mid-sized finance teams in busy environments

• Degree in Finance, Accounting or similar (CA(SA) advantageous but not essential)
• Proven experience in a strongly operational Financial Manager role
• Background in manufacturing, FMCG, retail, logistics, distribution or production environments preferred
• Comfortable in high-volume, deadline-driven environments
• Strong Excel and system exposure (ERP experience essential)
• Confident communicator who can challenge operations constructively
• Detail-driven, resilient, and comfortable being hands-on

• Be considered for future operational finance leadership roles
• Gain insight into what companies are really looking for in Financial Managers
• Position yourself correctly for your next career move
• Build a relationship before opportunities formally go to market

If you’re an operational Financial Manager who enjoys being close to the numbers, the people, and the process; I’d love to connect.
