About the company and the work

The Recruitment People is a specialist recruitment agency that sources, screens and selects candidates for employers, including businesses across the greater Gauteng area and beyond. Its client here is a large hospitality group that needs a Financial Controller to take ownership of the accounting and financial operations across four of its hotels. The advert carries reference Cen002934. The role is a senior, permanent position based in Cape Town, and it suits a finance professional with solid hospitality or leisure industry experience.

Role details and duties

The Financial Controller will manage the accounting processes and financial operations for the four hotels within the group. Responsibilities stated in the advert include preparing and reporting monthly financial information, providing accurate analysis and commentary on reporting variances, implementing and monitoring expense control systems, and preparing annual budgets and quarterly forecasts. The advert is brief, and no duties beyond those stated here are added.

Requirements

Only the requirements stated in the source advert are listed here. Applicants need a BCom in Accounting or an equivalent qualification, plus three or more years of experience within the hospitality or leisure industry. The desired skills listed on the advert are financial controller, hospitality, accounting and leisure.

Where to find and apply safely

This is an informational listing only. The safest way to apply is through the original CareerJunction advert, using the Apply button on this page, which opens the source vacancy. Check that the reference Cen002934 and the Cape Town location on the original advert match this role before you apply, and do not send personal documents or payments to anyone claiming to offer this role outside that advert.

Practical tips

Before applying, pull together examples of monthly reporting packs you have prepared, variance commentary you have written, and budgets or forecasts you have owned, ideally across more than one property or business unit. Hospitality finance experience is a stated requirement, so make that experience easy to spot in your CV.

How the process works

Applications are made through the original advert on CareerJunction, where the recruiter assesses submitted CVs against the existing vacancies and retains suitable profiles for consideration. Because the advert carried only a five-day expiry window at listing, confirm on the original advert that it is still open before you apply.

Important information

This post is for information only and is not the employer. Salary is not disclosed in the source advert, and no salary figure is stated here. The advert warns readers prominently about its short window: it was listed with five days to expiry, so check the original advert for its current status.
