A growing FMCG and distribution business in Gqeberha is looking for a commercially minded Financial Controller, recruited through Hire Resolve. This is a hands-on, permanent role for a finance professional who is strong on debtors, cash flow and financial administration, and who enjoys working closely with sales and operations teams to support business growth.
About the company and the work
Hire Resolve is a recruitment agency in South Africa that connects businesses with skilled and experienced professionals across a wide range of industries and locations. Its client here is a growing business in the fast-moving consumer goods and distribution sector, based in Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth) in the Eastern Cape. The Financial Controller will take ownership of the financial administration function, drive debtor management and cash flow discipline, automate financial processes, and work closely with Sales, Operations and Marketing to support the growth of the business.
Role details and duties
The role covers debtors, cash flow, financial administration, process automation and commercial finance support. In practice, that means owning the financial administration function day to day, keeping a firm grip on who owes the business money and when it will be collected, keeping cash flow disciplined, and improving the systems and processes behind all of it. The advert also notes that relocation will be considered, but the successful candidate must be in the role within 30 days of appointment.
On pay, the listing header shows R60,000 per month, and the advert body describes the package as up to R720,000 per annum cost-to-company plus a performance incentive linked to achieving key performance indicators. Both figures are stated here so readers can see exactly what the advert says.
Requirements
Only what the advert states is listed here:
– A relevant Accounting or Finance qualification.
– Proven experience in financial control, debtors, accounts receivable and cash flow management.
– A strong understanding of debtor ageing, DSO (days sales outstanding) and debt collection procedures.
– Experience improving and automating financial systems and processes.
– A commercially minded approach, with the confidence to work closely with Sales and management on overdue accounts.
– Strong Excel and ERP or accounting systems experience.
The advert’s desired skills are listed as Financial Controller.
This vacancy is distinct from the other Financial Controller posts on this site: one covers a Boksburg vacancy and another covers a Cape Town vacancy, while this one is specifically for Gqeberha.
Where to find and apply safely
This vacancy is advertised on CareerJunction by Hire Resolve, and the Apply button on this page takes you directly to that original listing. Apply only through that official advert, and never pay anyone a fee to apply for a job. A genuine recruiter will not ask you for money to secure an interview or an offer.
Practical tips
Before you apply, be ready to show evidence of your work on debtors and cash flow — for example, how you have managed debtor ageing, improved collections or tightened cash flow reporting. If you have automated a financial process or improved a system, prepare a short example of what you changed and what it achieved. Because the advert asks for someone who can work confidently with Sales on overdue accounts, think of an example where you handled a difficult commercial conversation well. Also note the 30-day start expectation if you would need to relocate.
How the process works
Click the Apply button on this page to reach the original CareerJunction advert, where you can submit your application to Hire Resolve.
