Job Description

To collaborate with business stakeholders to provide financial expertise, insights, and guidance while designing and improving financial processes that ensure consistent, efficient, and value-driven delivery of financial services.

Hello Future Financial Manager

Welcome to FNB, where we believe help is at the heart of human greatness. Our vision is to be a great business helping to create a better world.

As part of our talent team, you will be surrounded by unique talents, diverse minds, and an adaptable environment that lives up to the promise of staying curious. Now’s the time to imagine your potential in a team where experts come together and ignite effective change.

Role Overview:

To partner with the business in the provision of financial expertise and advice, and to develop supporting processes that continuously enhance the delivery of financial services.

Are you someone who can:

• Convert financial analysis into actionable business insight. Move beyond explaining historic performance by identifying what the numbers mean for the business, what decisions are required, and what trade-offs management should consider.
• Engage senior stakeholders confidently and constructively, and influence decisions through credible financial insight.
• Provide forward-looking performance steering. Use predictive analytics, scenario modelling and stress testing to anticipate pressure points in income, costs, impairments, capital, liquidity and profitability before they materialise.
• Build and challenge budgets, forecasts, and scenario plans, including stress-testing assumptions and linking financial outcomes to key business drivers.
• Manage and track group cost performance by analysing cost drivers and product, customer, and channel profitability, and identifying opportunities to improve efficiency and returns.
• Own performance dashboards and leading indicators. Develop and maintain clear dashboards that track both financial and non-financial drivers of performance, including revenue momentum, cost-to-income trends, JAWS, customer behaviour, productivity, risk indicators and strategic initiative delivery.
• Embed digital and AI-enabled finance ways of working independently. Use automation, Power BI, advanced Excel, low-code tools and emerging AI capabilities to improve the speed, accuracy and usefulness of finance output.
• Strengthen data storytelling for executive decision-making. Translate complex financial, operational and customer data into simple, decision-ready narratives for Exco, Board, committee and business audiences.
• Maintain expert knowledge of relevant legislative amendments, IFRS technical accounting principals, industry best practice, and internal compliance procedures and requirements.
• Support the reporting team with year-end external reporting deliverables, including Board reporting and the preparation of annual financial statements.
• Lead finance transformation and continuous improvement. Identify opportunities to simplify reporting, reduce manual effort, improve turnaround times, enhance controls and create capacity for higher-value finance work.
• Enhance data governance and insight quality. Ensure finance data is accurate, well-controlled, reconciled, consistently defined and suitable for decision-making across business units and reporting cycles.
• Contribute to a development-focused culture where successes, issues, trends, and ideas are actively shared.
• Plan and manage team performance, skills development, succession, and culture to improve performance and collaboration.

You will be an ideal candidate if you:

• Hold a Bachelor of Commerce with Honours in Accounting
• Have completed articles at a top tier firm
• Hold a master’s degree or CA(Nam) (SA) qualification
• Have management accounting experience
• Have at least two years’ management experience at junior or middle management level
• Have experience in process automation, data analysis, and coding

You will have access to:

• Opportunities to network and collaborate
• Challenging Work
• Opportunities to innovate

We can be a match if you are:

• Always doing the right thing – Fight for ethical conduct and transparency, both inside and outside
• Curious – Believe in insight, creativity, and its power to unlock value
• Deeply Invested – Take initiative and be a leader in your own right
• Valuing differences – Be inclusive, gracious, decent, and humble
• Building Trust not Territory – Create a culture of sharing
• Courageous – We’ve built a culture of bravery by speaking our minds and encouraging others to do the same
