DB Recruitment is looking for a Financial Controller for a contract role in Gauteng. The position is based in Fourways and is tied to a major event taking place in Gauteng in 2027. The salary is market related, and applications close on 27 December 2026.
This is a hands-on role for a qualified accountant who enjoys doing the work rather than only reviewing it. If you are a registered CA(SA) or AGA(SA) with solid experience at financial manager or senior accountant level, this contract could be a strong fit.
About the company and the work
The vacancy is advertised by DB Recruitment, a recruitment agency, for a contract Financial Controller position in Fourways, Gauteng. According to the advert, the role supports a major event happening in Gauteng in 2027, which suggests a busy, deadline-driven environment where accurate financial control matters a great deal.
The advert describes the successful candidate as a working controller, not a reviewing chief financial officer. In other words, this is not a distant oversight role: the person appointed will be closely involved in the day-to-day financial work behind the event.
Role details and duties
The original advert is brief and does not publish a detailed duty list, so applicants should confirm the full scope of the work in the original Careers24 listing before applying. What the advert does confirm is:
- The role is a Financial Controller position on a contract basis.
- It is based in Fourways, Gauteng.
- It is linked to a major event happening in Gauteng in 2027.
- The salary is market related.
- The reference number is DB01772.
- Applications close on 27 December 2026.
The same vacancy also appears on Careers24 under other Gauteng regional labels, including Pretoria, East Rand, West Rand and Johannesburg, all carrying the same reference number DB01772 and the same advert text. It is published here once only, using the Gauteng listing, so applicants do not need to apply more than once.
Requirements
Applicants should meet the following requirements, as stated in the original advert:
- Registered CA(SA) or AGA(SA).
- More than five years of experience in a Financial Manager, Senior Accountant or Financial Consulting role.
- Comfortable being hands-on, as this is a working controller role rather than a reviewing chief financial officer position.
No other qualifications, skills or experience are listed in the advert. Because the advert is short, applicants who are close to the stated profile but unsure whether their background matches should check the details with the recruiter through the original listing.
Where to find and apply safely
Apply only through the original Careers24 listing, using the Apply button on this page, which links directly to the advert from DB Recruitment. Be cautious of anyone who offers you this job through a different channel or who contacts you outside the official listing. Genuine employers and recruiters do not charge applicants a fee for applying.
Practical tips
This is a senior, qualification-led vacancy, so lead with your registration and your most relevant experience. Make sure your CV clearly shows your CA(SA) or AGA(SA) status and your years of experience in financial management, senior accounting or financial consulting. Because the role is described as hands-on, it also helps to highlight examples where you personally prepared, controlled or closed off financial work, rather than only supervising it.
Given the link to a major 2027 event, mention any experience you have with event, project or deadline-driven financial work, if you have it, and confirm your availability for a contract role in Fourways.
How the process works
Applications are submitted through the Careers24 listing for this vacancy. DB Recruitment notes that it is fully compliant with the Protection of Personal Information Act of 2013, and that if you have not heard from the recruiter within 10 days of applying, you should assume your application was unsuccessful. Applying for the position also gives the recruiter permission to keep your details on its secure database for future positions, should a suitable vacancy become available.
