Finance Administration Manager at Voys Telecom South Africa

The role

You will be a finance department of one. And will not be managing anyone but yourself. We’re looking for a self-managed and self-motivated individual. Working autonomously is what you’re good at. Not only that, you actually thrive on it. You’ll be juggling operational responsibilities, while at the same time keeping sight of the big picture and tactical and strategic demands.

Voys is fast-growing and due to the current state of the economy, like many businesses, has challenging times ahead. However, we believe that every crisis provides an opportunity to do things differently and gain an edge over our rivals. A good part of your time will be spent on tightly managing accounts receivables and handling accounts queries. Your communications skills, diplomacy and flair make customers wonder if they’re talking to accounts or sales. You manage to get paid while building genuine customer relationships. You add flair to being ‘firm but fair’.

Another good part of your workweek is spent on bank recon. We suspect quite some efficiency gains can be made by you here; by applying smarter matching rules, and perhaps overhauling the whole system. On the first of every month, we run billing. This currently takes 8-10 hours. We’re looking at you for ways to do this smarter. You don’t just report on numbers, you see through them and proactively lead and advise on finance across the business. In short, we're looking for a financial allrounder, that's been around the block.
