We are looking for our first Finance Manager to build the financial backbone of our fast-growing tech start-up. With operations in South Africa, the Netherlands, and the UK - and rapid expansion into the UK and USA, Finance is becoming a critical domain for our business. You will report directly to the Head of Operations, taking over responsibilities he currently manages, with the ambition to establish Finance as its own dedicated function.

At the start, your focus will be on making sure our South African and Dutch bookkeepers work seamlessly together. You will ensure numbers are accurate, reports are delivered on time, and tax compliance is met across jurisdictions. This requires comfort working with international tax rules, VAT, and transfer pricing.

As the company grows, you will own SaaS performance reporting (MRR, ARR, NRR, GRR, CAC, Burn, Runway) and provide clear insights that guide leadership decisions and investor conversations.

You will also lead the shift to an in-house finance function and build a team covering FP&A, Treasury, and Financial Control. This is more than a typical finance role, it is a chance to design scalable systems, lead a high-performing team, and position Finance as a core domain in the business.

For the right person, this role can evolve into Head of Finance and a place on the leadership team - once you've proven your ability to deliver impact, build a team, and shape Finance as a strategic driver of growth.

• Provide financial reporting and insights to the Head of Operations, CEO and leadership team, including runway, burn rate, revenue, and other SaaS KPIs to guide strategic decisions
• Support inter-company transactions, licence agreements, shareholder resolutions, and equity administration
• Contribute to fundraising readiness and investment support by preparing investor reporting packs, maintaining the cap table, and updating the data room
