A growing, asset-backed property and hospitality platform is seeking a technically strong, commercially aware Financial Manager to take ownership of financial reporting, statutory compliance, and development coordination across multiple operating entities, land-holding companies, and development SPVs.

This is a hands‑on, senior finance role reporting directly to the CFO. It combines disciplined financial governance with real exposure to mixed‑use property development, Capex tracking, and commercial decision support.

The portfolio includes operational businesses as well as farm‑based mixed‑use developments in the Durbanville / Klipheuwel corridor. You will play a key role in ensuring clean reporting, cash flow discipline, and financially sound development execution.

What You’ll Own

• Budgeting, forecasting, and cash flow visibility
• Intercompany structures and reconciliations
• Procurement governance and cost control disciplines
• Payment workflows, liquidity tracking, and treasury support
• Financial coordination of development budgets and Capex tracking
• Review of QS cost reports and spend vs budget tracking
• Escalation of financial risks and variances to CFO
• Support of board, lender, and investor reporting

You will also assist with feasibility modelling, acquisition support, and structured financial analysis as the platform grows.

Who You Are

• CA(SA) with 3–7 years post‑articles experience
• Technically strong with multi‑entity accounting experience
• Confident managing VAT, SARS, and statutory compliance independently
• Structured, methodical, and highly detail‑oriented
• Commercially curious and interested in development finance
• Comfortable working in a growing, entrepreneurial environment
• Systems confident and strong in Excel
• Clear communicator who can present clean financial insight

Exposure to property, hospitality, construction, or asset‑heavy businesses is highly advantageous.

Why This Role

• Direct exposure to CFO and senior leadership
• Real development finance coordination experience
• Multi‑entity portfolio complexity
• Opportunity to grow into broader Group Finance leadership
• A platform with scaling ambition and disciplined commercial intent

If you are technically strong, commercially grounded, and want meaningful exposure to development‑backed finance — this is a serious career move.
