Financial Manager (Path to Future CFO) – CompuCable

We’re looking for a hands‑on Financial Manager to be the driving force behind CompuCable’s financial stability and growth as we scale.

• Oversee Accounts Payable/Receivable and transactional processing
• Deliver monthly management accounts and board‑ready financial packs
• Lead budgeting, forecasting and KPI tracking (margins, AR days, cash runway)

• Strong Excel/Google Sheets and accounting software skills (Sage/Xero/QuickBooks or similar)
• Solid knowledge of South African tax & compliance (SARS, VAT, PAYE)
• A builder mindset – comfortable creating systems from scratch

Nice to have:

• CA(SA) or completed articles
• SME/start‑up/high‑growth experience
• Audit prep & external accountant liaison experience
• Experience partnering directly with CEO/COO and managing small teams

Personal attributes:

• Calm in crisis, decisive in ambiguity
• Action‑biased and operationally strong
• Clear communicator with non‑financial stakeholders
• Detail‑oriented but pragmatic – gets things done
• Ambitious about growing into a CFO/Finance Director role

Compensation & growth

• Salary: R336,000 – R420,000 per annum (depending on experience)
• Performance bonus: Up to 15% of salary, linked to 90‑day and annual KPIs
• Growth path:
