Finance Manager (No restriction for BEE)

Introduction

Our business operates at the intersection of data, logistics, and strategy — providing transport optimisation and consulting services that unlock measurable efficiency and cost savings for our clients across multiple industries.

We’re purpose-driven, believing deeply in unlocking potential through community.

Our culture is built on five core values that guide every decision and interaction:

 * Collaborative * Agile * Ethical * Efficient

With consistent triple-digit growth year-on-year, you’ll be joining a high-performance team that thrives on innovation, precision, and impact.

This role places you at the financial heart of a business that’s scaling fast — where numbers don’t just record results, they shape strategy and drive purpose.

 

You are confident, detail-oriented, and ready to take full ownership of the finance function — supporting strategic decision-making and helping build scalable financial systems for a data-driven, values-led organisation.

 

This is an in-office position based in Claremont, Cape Town.

• Liaise with external accountants for statutory, VAT, and tax compliance.
• Partner with internal business units (data, transport, and client consulting) to ensure financial clarity and commercial accountability.

Ideal Candidate and requirements

You are:

• Commercially savvy, with a sharp understanding of how data translates to value.

• Driven and hands-on, not afraid to dive into details while building for scale.

• Tech-enabled, confident working with systems like Zoho Books, Excel (Advanced), Power BI, or similar tools.

• Collaborative and adaptable, comfortable in a fast-growing, evolving business.

• Purpose-aligned, bringing empathy, ethics, and energy to every interaction.

• Demonstrated experience in management reporting, budgeting, forecasting, and cashflow management.
