Senior Financial Officer Jobs in Sandton

Datonomy Solutions (Cape Town) is looking for a Senior Financial Officer to work in Sandton. This is a contract role at senior level, and it sits at the heart of how a banking business understands its own performance: turning financial and non-financial information into reporting that managers can actually use. If you enjoy forecasting, variance analysis and presenting numbers to senior stakeholders, this vacancy is worth a close look.

The advertised salary is R95,000 to R110,000 per month. The listing was posted on 29 October 2026 and expires in 19 days. One detail to note before you apply: the recruiter is listed as Datonomy Solutions (Cape Town), while the listing location is Sandton, so confirm the exact work base on the original advert.

About the company and the work

Datonomy Solutions describes itself as an end-to-end provider of Enterprise Information Management Services, Enterprise Software Solutions and Custom Developed Specialised Systems, built around an operating philosophy it calls Connected Value Creation. In this vacancy, the financial officer supports regional and branch operations that are aligned to a bank’s strategy, so the work combines management reporting, financial planning, cost control and stakeholder support rather than sitting in a single back-office function.

The role exists to generate, analyse and report reliable financial and non-financial information that supports business decisions and financial performance. That means the successful candidate will spend as much time explaining what the numbers mean as producing them, and will work closely with operations, capital expenditure and channel infrastructure stakeholders.

Role details and duties

The advertised title is Senior Financial Officer at Datonomy Solutions, based in Sandton on a contract basis at senior level. The duties listed in the advert include:

• Preparing monthly flash forecasts by analysing trends and cost drivers, and comparing actual and forecast performance against budgets and prior periods, explaining variances and growth.
• Producing monthly financial, non-financial and ad hoc reports, consolidating information from multiple sources and providing clear commentary and practical interpretation for stakeholders.
• Coordinating annual budgets, three-year plans and quarterly forecasts, taking account of business initiatives, trends, distribution requirements and cost drivers.
• Forecasting annual staff costs and headcount using staff run-rate reporting, and monitoring and reporting actual staff costs and headcount against plan.
• Providing profitability insights and financial guidance to stakeholders, and supporting regional business planning.
• Preparing and presenting the monthly Operations Committee pack and reporting for the Regional Management Committee.
• Maintaining accurate reporting structures as the business changes, and meeting reporting deadlines for the business units supported.
• Supporting adherence to policies and procedures within Branch Administration Centres, and tracking and reconciling closed branches.
• Coordinating with operations, capital expenditure and channel infrastructure stakeholders on closed-branch matters.
• Training and supporting line managers and other stakeholders in financial management, and identifying improvements to reporting and processes.

Requirements

The advert asks for the following, and nothing beyond it has been added here:

• An advanced diploma or first degree.
• 3 to 5 years of experience in financial management.
• A Bachelor of Commerce Honours in Accounting.
• Financial management experience in the financial services industry.
• Budgeting, forecasting, financial planning, variance analysis and management reporting.
• Financial and non-financial data analysis, cost-driver analysis, profitability interpretation and stakeholder support.
• Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint and relevant financial software and systems.
• Banking procedures, administrative systems and business-unit operations.
• Governance, risk and controls, relevant regulation, and adherence to policies and procedures.
• Clear business writing, financial commentary and presentation of information to senior stakeholders.
• Clear communication and trusted relationships with internal customers, sound judgement, initiative, and the ability to organise work, meet deadlines and maintain high standards of accuracy and quality.
• Sharing knowledge, developing personal capability and keeping up to date with industry and legislative change.
• Support for Nedbank’s values, transformation goals and corporate social responsibility initiatives.

Where to find and apply safely

This vacancy is advertised on CareerJunction by Datonomy Solutions (Cape Town), and the Apply button on this page opens that original advert. Apply only through that original listing, and never pay anyone who asks for a fee to secure the job. The advert’s reference is 892, and the CareerJunction job number is 2646408.

Practical tips

Because the advert emphasises commentary and presentation as much as calculation, use your application to show both sides: a short example of a forecast or variance analysis you prepared, and a line about how you explained its implications to managers. If you have worked in a bank or another financial services business, make that experience easy to find, since the advert asks for it specifically. Check that your CV shows your BCom Honours in Accounting and your years of financial management experience up front, as those are stated requirements rather than nice-to-haves.
