Advanced proficiency with Sage Intacct, Ramp, and other cloud-based finance tools is highly desirable, alongside the ability to optimize system workflows to improve accuracy and efficiency.

This is a hands-on leadership role, responsible for guiding and developing a small finance team, strengthening internal controls, and ensuring accuracy in all financial operations. The successful candidate will also partner closely with the Financial Director and cross-functional leaders to support budgets, forecasts, and process improvements, playing a critical role in ensuring that TydeCo’s financial infrastructure remains scalable, compliant, and aligned with business growth.

The successful candidate will lead a team of finance professionals, drive continuous improvement across systems and processes, and play a critical role in supporting strategic initiatives such as cross-functional integrations, investor reporting, and organizational growth.

If you are a finance leader who brings operational excellence, strategic insight, and a passion for building scalable infrastructure in a global environment, we encourage you to apply.

As a platinum Sage partner, TydeCo and our partner entity TydeCo U. specialize in delivering cutting-edge ERP and HRP solutions such as Sage 300 Cloud and Sage Intacct.

Our dedication to innovation, excellence, and client success ensures businesses not only adopt our solutions but thrive in competitive markets. If you're ready to lead in a fast-paced, high-impact environment, we invite you to be part of our journey.

This position will report to the Global Director of Finance. This position can be remote within Cape Town, with the ability to work from our TydeCo office as required. Alternatively, it can be based remotely in the Durban or Gauteng province, with the flexibility to travel to the Cape Town office as required.
