Job Description

We’re looking for an experienced Finance Manager to take on a pivotal fixed-term leadership role, driving process improvement and embedding change across finance operations. Reporting directly to the GM Finance, this role is your chance to lead a multi-disciplinary team through a period of transformation while ensuring smooth day-to-day operations.


About the Role:


As Finance Manager, you’ll oversee accounts payable, accounts receivable, billing, credit control, and financial accounting functions. Your key responsibilities will include:


  • Leading daily transaction processing to ensure accuracy and timeliness.
  • Owning the month-end close process, including journal entries, reconciliations, and financial statement preparation.
  • Driving improvements in order-to-cash processes to eliminate inefficiencies and ensure clean data flows into the general ledger.
  • Ensuring compliance with statutory reporting obligations such as GST and PAYE.
  • Collaborating with the Finance Systems and Data Lead to enhance procurement and revenue systems.
  • Managing external audit relationships and preparing for seamless transitions.
  • Supporting the GM Finance in building frameworks for direct oversight post-transition.
  • Leading and developing your team through this period of change while maintaining engagement and stability.


What Success Looks Like:


You’ll know you’ve succeeded when:

  • The order-to-cash cycle is reliable, well-documented, and producing clean data that integrates seamlessly into the general ledger.
  • Month-end close is completed accurately and on time every period.
  • Process improvements are progressing against milestones, with high confidence in data quality across functions.
  • The transition to GM Finance oversight is well-prepared with clear processes, role accountabilities, and stable team performance.


About You:


We’re looking for someone who brings:


  • A strong background in both financial operations (AP, AR, billing) and financial control (accounting, reporting).
  • Leadership experience across these areas during periods of change or improvement.
  • CA qualification (or equivalent) with expertise in financial reporting, close management, and process redesign.
  • A process-driven mindset with proven ability to map and improve order-to-cash or procure-to-pay workflows.
  • Effective people leadership skills to guide a team through transition while maintaining engagement.
  • High standards for accuracy and systematic financial control practices.


Why Join?


This is more than just a finance role, it’s an opportunity to make a lasting impact by improving processes that drive organisational success. You’ll work closely with senior leaders across functions while leading meaningful change within a collaborative environment.
