Cost Accountant (banking)
Job Description
COST ACCOUNTANT (BANKING) This isn't manufacturing costing. This isn't standard "count-the-nuts-and-bolts" costing.
This is banking costing -- where the products are invisible, the stakeholders are many, and the numbers move faster than a debit order you forgot about.
You'll be the financial detective who:
- Hunts down cost drivers with scientific precision
- Breaks down allocations like a DJ dropping beats at Konka
- Runs budgeting, modelling, and forecasting that makes execs say "wow, finally someone gets it"
- Investigates variances like they personally offended you
- Turns insights into decisions that actually shift the bottom line
WHAT YOU NEED TO BRING CIMA qualified or studying towards
- Real, lived, earned costing experience in a banking environment
- Excel skills strong enough to make pivot tables fear you
- A brain that enjoys patterns and a personality that enjoys people
- The ability to simplify complexity without creating a 42-slide PowerPoint
BONUS POINTS IF YOU HAVE - Experience with BI tools
- Exposure to digital banking or fintech
- A healthy relationship with spreadsheets
WHY YOU'LL LOVE THIS Because it's real influence. Real visibility. Real banking.
You're not just filling in templates -- you're shaping decisions in one of Joburg's biggest institutions (and yes, they actually listen).
READY TO LEVEL UP? If you've got the costing chops, banking battle scars, and CIMA badge of honour, send your CV to Stratlab.
Let's get you in the room where the numbers happen.
