SUMMARY:
ð¾ Senior Financial Accountant – Bring Order, Care & Leadership to a Growing Pet-Centric Environment
You don’t just balance books — you nurture structure. Just like a well-run habitat keeps every animal thriving, you understand that strong financial systems keep a business healthy, stable, and ready to grow. With your attention to detail and calm, organised approach, you create an environment where processes run smoothly and teams perform with confidence.

POSITION INFO:
ð The Opportunity
A well-established organisation in Graaff-Reinet, operating in the broader pet and nutrition space, is looking for a Senior Financial Accountant to take ownership of essential accounting operations while developing and guiding a dedicated team. You’ll manage fixed assets, accounts payable, treasury, and month-end reporting — ensuring each area operates with the same consistency, care, and reliability you’d expect in any well-managed ecosystem.

This role is perfect for a hands-on accountant who can bring structure to busy operations, uplift team performance, and strengthen the financial “backbone” supporting the organisation’s growth.

ð Key Responsibilities

Oversee the full fixed asset function with accurate tracking and compliance
Manage accounts payable with strong controls and smooth processing
Take charge of cashbook and treasury activities, including accurate daily cash management
Lead the month-end close process and deliver dependable financial reporting
Lead and support a team of 8, fostering accountability, development, and teamwork
Improve financial accuracy and flow by refining systems and processes
Assist with internal and external audits through organised, transparent documentation
Apply system knowledge to streamline accounting operations

ð§ What You Bring

Completed BCom degree (minimum requirement)
At least 3 years’ experience, with 3–5 years in accounting roles
Strong experience in Fixed Assets, Accounts Payable, Treasury/Cashbooks, and Month-End Reporting
Proven leadership of a team of 8 direct reports
Exposure to Microsoft Dynamics 365 is advantageous
A leadership style built on structure, accuracy, and developing people to perform at their best

ð Why This Role is Rewarding
You’ll step into an environment where care, consistency, and quality truly matter — not only in the products but in the financial operations that support them. Here, your work will stabilise processes, strengthen controls, and empower a team committed to delivering excellence.

If you’re looking for a role where your financial discipline creates real operational impact in a purpose-driven, animal-loving environment, this is your opportunity.

ð¨ Apply Today
If you’re ready to bring structure, accuracy, and leadership to a growing finance team in Graaff-Reinet, I’d love to connect with you.
