Job Description

Head of Finance - Bring the Structure, Keep the Spark
You're a finance leader who loves the numbers and the buzz of a business that's always moving. You know how to manage cash flow, controls, and forecasts -- but you also know that great finance leadership is about enabling ideas, supporting momentum, and helping the business win.
If you enjoy being close to the action, collaborating with leadership, and keeping the financial engine running smoothly behind a brand with personality, this role could be right up your street.
The Opportunity
A vibrant, purpose-driven business is looking for a Head of Finance to take full ownership of the finance function from top to bottom. This is a senior, hands-on role where you'll partner closely with the executive team, offering sharp commercial insight while keeping strong financial discipline firmly in place. You'll be trusted to run the day-to-day finance function while also thinking big-picture about where the business is going next. Expect autonomy, influence, and plenty of space to put your stamp on things.
Key Responsibilities

• Leading financial strategy to support growth and big business goals
• Keeping a close eye on costs, margins, and performance drivers
• Managing cash flow, capital, and assets with confidence
• Making sure the business is always audit-ready and well-governed
• Overseeing the full finance function (FFF), end to end
• Spotting and managing financial and operational risks before they become problems
• Working side by side with leadership on strategy, planning, and key decisions
• Owning revenue planning and growth forecasts

What You Bring

• BCom in Accounting or Finance, plus CA(SA) qualification
• 5+ years' experience in an accounting environment
• 2+ years in a Financial Manager or senior finance leadership role
• A hands-on, commercially savvy leadership style
• The ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-energy environment

Systems Exposure

• Strong Microsoft Office skills
• Xero experience (essential)
• Exposure to SimplePay, Cin7, and Shopify is a big plus

Why You'll Enjoy It Here
This is not a rigid, corporate finance role. You'll be joining a business with heart, personality, and momentum -- where finance is seen as a partner, not a blocker. Ideas are welcomed, collaboration is real, and your input will genuinely shape how the business grows. If you like building solid financial foundations without killing the vibe, this role offers the perfect balance.
