Job Description

Head of Finance - Lead the Numbers Behind a Brand in Motion
You're the kind of finance leader who brings both sharp thinking and great energy to the table. You know your way around budgets, cash flow, and controls -- but you also know how to keep things moving in a fast-paced, creative business. For you, finance isn't just about rules and reports; it's about enabling growth, supporting bold ideas, and keeping the wheels turning smoothly. If you love being close to the action and partnering with leadership to shape the future, this one's for you.
The Opportunity
A fun, vibrant, and purpose-driven business is on the lookout for a Head of Finance to own and lead the finance function end to end. This is a senior, hands-on role where you'll work closely with the executive team, providing commercial insight while ensuring strong financial discipline. You'll be trusted to manage the day-to-day full finance function while also thinking strategically about where the business is heading. It's a role with real influence, autonomy, and plenty of room to make your mark
Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the financial strategy and support business growth initiatives
  • Drive cost control, margin improvement, and financial analysis
  • Manage capital, assets, and cash flow
  • Ensure audit readiness, compliance, and strong financial governance
  • Oversee day-to-day full finance function (FFF) operations
  • Identify and manage financial and operational risks
  • Partner with leadership on strategic decision-making and planning
  • Revenue and growth forecasting
What You Bring
  • BCom in Accounting or Finance + CA(SA) qualification
  • 5+ years' experience in an accounting environment
  • 2+ years' experience in a Financial Manager or senior finance role
  • A hands-on, commercially minded leadership style
  • The ability to thrive in a fast-moving, energetic environment
Systems Exposure
  • Strong Microsoft Office skills
  • Xero experience (essential)
  • Exposure to SimplePay, Cin7, and Shopify is a big plus
Why You'll Love This Role
You'll be joining a business with personality, purpose, and momentum. This isn't a stiff, corporate finance role -- it's a space where ideas are encouraged, collaboration is real, and your input genuinely matters. If you enjoy building structure without killing the vibe, and leading finance in a way that supports creativity and growth, this role offers the perfect balance of impact, culture, and challenge
