Job Description
We’re a fast-growing creative and marketing agency working across the Caribbean and beyond. Our work spans brand, web, content, and digital marketing for some of the region’s most exciting organisations.
As we continue to scale, we’re looking for a Finance Manager who can take full ownership of our day-to-day financial operations — from cash flow to payroll — while helping build the systems that keep us financially sharp, stable, and ready for growth.
This is an opportunity to be part of an energetic international team where every system you build and every process you improve will have a visible impact on how the agency runs.
What You’ll Do
You’ll be responsible for keeping our finances running smoothly — accurate, on time, and easy to understand.
Your Day-to-day Will Include
- Managing cash flow, accounts receivable, and invoicing across multiple projects.
- Running payroll and contractor payments (South Africa and internationally).
- Overseeing budgets and ensuring projects stay financially healthy.
- Preparing monthly reporting and financial updates for leadership.
- Maintaining and improving systems across Xero, Productive, and Notion.
- Helping refine forecasting and budgeting processes as we scale.
- Collaborating with the CEO and department leads to make smart, data-informed financial decisions.
What We’re Looking For
- 5+ years’ experience in finance or accounting, ideally within an agency, consultancy, or project-based business.
- Solid knowledge of invoicing, budgeting, payroll, and cash flow management.
- Experience using tools such as Xero, Productive, Asana, or similar systems.
- Comfortable working independently in a fast-paced, creative environment.
- Strong attention to detail, with the ability to zoom out and see the bigger financial picture.
- Excellent communication skills — you can explain numbers in a way non-finance people understand.
Accounting qualification (BCom, CIMA, or similar) is preferred but not required if experience is strong.
What You’ll Get
- Full remote flexibility — work from anywhere in South Africa.
- Opportunity to grow into a Head of Finance role as the agency expands.
- Exposure to international clients and modern agency systems.
- A collaborative team that values process, innovation, and balance.
Why This Role Matters
You’ll be the backbone of our financial operations — ensuring cash keeps flowing, payroll runs on time, and leadership has clear visibility into how the business is performing.
You’ll directly influence how we grow, how we make decisions, and how confidently we scale.
