The Role

The role of Finance Manager will report to a very experienced CFO who is willing to mentor and develop you. This is a newly created role and has arisen due to the need for the CFO to continue to focus on more strategic aspects and hand over the day to day running of Finance to this role. This is a very broad role which you can make your own.

• Ensure working capital is optimised and the balance sheet is reconciled
• Ensure all compliance with statutory and tax filing is met
• Ensure risk management, treasury policies and the like are developed to standards appropriate to the business needs
• Lead and develop the finance function and with time grow the team size relative to the business growth
• Support the CFO on ad hoc analysis as required – which may include benchmarking, investor relations, transfer pricing structures, M&A due diligence etc.
• Other ad hoc duties as required.

Your profile:
