Job Description

HEAD OF FINANCE - R 95k pm - SOUTHERN SUBURBS, CPT

If you’re a CIMA professional who enjoys being more than “just Finance,” this is the kind of role that lets you build something meaningful. You’ll join a fast-growing financial services group known for its innovative investment solutions, strong client partnerships, and ambition to scale. They’re looking for a commercially minded finance leader who enjoys rolling up their sleeves, guiding a team, tightening controls, and helping shape the next phase of the business.

If you’ve spent 8+ years in finance within a financial services or investment-focused environment and you’re ready to step into a broader leadership role, this is a strong opportunity.

About the Role

The Head of Finance will take full responsibility for financial leadership across the business. This includes managing a small team, overseeing financial operations, improving processes, and supporting the executive team with strategic insights. You’ll play a major part in refining systems, driving discipline across the organisation, and creating a finance function that can scale confidently.

Key Responsibilities

Financial Leadership

  • Oversee end-to-end finance operations, including reporting, budgeting, compliance, and cash flow.
  • Provide accurate monthly management accounts, financial insights, and board-level reporting.
  • Partner with executives on strategic planning, scenario modelling, and performance tracking.

Team Leadership & Development

  • Lead, mentor, and grow the finance team.
  • Build a culture of accountability, clarity, and continuous development.
  • Strengthen administrative and operational capabilities across the department.
  • Financial Operations & Controls

  • Ensure strong financial governance, internal controls, and compliance with all relevant regulations.
  • Improve systems, processes, and reporting frameworks to support growth.
  • Oversee reconciliations, financial schedules, treasury, and statutory submissions.
  • Business Growth & Operational Support

  • Work closely with operational teams to ensure financial and commercial alignment.
  • Support business development activities, new product launches, and group expansion initiatives.
  • Drive efficiency, cost control, and disciplined financial management.
  • Requirements

  • CIMA (ACMA / CGMA) qualification required.
  • 8+ years of experience in Finance, ideally within financial services, investments, asset management, lending, or related sectors.
  • Proven experience leading finance teams.
  • Strong operational and administrative capability — organised, detail-driven, and steady under pressure.
  • Strong understanding of budgeting, reporting, cash flow, compliance, and governance.
  • Experience improving processes and building scalable finance functions.
  • Commercial mindset with the ability to influence and collaborate at all levels.
  • Benefits

  • Join a fast-expanding financial services group where your work directly shapes the next phase of growth.
  • Build and lead the finance function your way, with real influence and daily access to the executive team.
  • Step into a role with clear progression toward senior leadership as the business continues to scale.
  • Work in a collaborative, entrepreneurial environment that values accountability, development, and strong mentorship.
