Financial Manager (Development Coordination) | Cape Town

Structured. Commercial. Development-facing.

A growing, asset-backed property and hospitality platform is seeking a technically strong, commercially aware Financial Manager to take ownership of financial reporting, statutory compliance, and development coordination across multiple operating entities, land-holding companies, and development SPVs.

This is a hands-on, senior finance role reporting directly to the CFO. It combines disciplined financial governance with real exposure to mixed-use property development, Capex tracking, and commercial decision support.

The portfolio includes operational businesses as well as farm-based mixed-use developments in the Durbanville / Klipheuwel corridor. You will play a key role in ensuring clean reporting, cash flow discipline, and financially sound development execution.

What You’ll Own

• Full monthly management accounts across multiple entities (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, variance analysis)
  • SARS, VAT, PAYE, provisional tax, and statutory compliance
  • Budgeting, forecasting, and cash flow visibility
  • Intercompany structures and reconciliations
  • Procurement governance and cost control disciplines
  • Payment workflows, liquidity tracking, and treasury support
  • Financial coordination of development budgets and Capex tracking
  • Review of QS cost reports and spend vs budget tracking
  • Escalation of financial risks and variances to CFO
  • Support of board, lender, and investor reporting

You will also assist with feasibility modelling, acquisition support, and structured financial analysis as the platform grows.

Who You Are

• CA(SA) with 3–7 years post-articles experience
  • Technically strong with multi-entity accounting experience
  • Confident managing VAT, SARS, and statutory compliance independently
  • Structured, methodical, and highly detail-oriented
  • Commercially curious and interested in development finance
  • Comfortable working in a growing, entrepreneurial environment
  • Systems confident and strong in Excel
  • Clear communicator who can present clean financial insight

Exposure to property, hospitality, construction, or asset-heavy businesses is highly advantageous.

Why This Role

• Direct exposure to CFO and senior leadership
  • Real development finance coordination experience
  • Multi-entity portfolio complexity
  • Opportunity to grow into broader Group Finance leadership
  • A platform with scaling ambition and disciplined commercial intent

If you are technically strong, commercially grounded, and want meaningful exposure to development-backed finance — this is a serious career move.
