Five-Star Safari Lodge | Kruger National Park | R240 000 + Private Accommodation

Combine your accounting career with an extraordinary lifestyle in one of South Africa’s most beautiful wildlife destinations.

An exceptional opportunity has become available for an Assistant Financial Controller to join a prestigious five-star safari lodge in the Kruger National Park.

Catering to international guests, this luxury lodge offers immaculate surroundings and a unique working environment where nature and hospitality come together.

One of the most attractive benefits is your own private thatched house, provided as accommodation for the duration of your employment.

This position is immediately available and would particularly appeal to an accounting professional who loves wildlife, enjoys the outdoors and would welcome a change from city life. It could also be an attractive lifestyle opportunity for a young couple.

The Opportunity

As Assistant Financial Controller, you will be involved in the day-to-day financial management of the lodge, ensuring accurate financial reporting, sound internal controls and compliance with financial procedures.

This is a varied position offering exposure to hospitality finance, management accounting, budgeting and financial controls.

Key Responsibilities

Financial Reporting and Reconciliations

• Prepare and review daily revenue reports across PMS, POS and SAGE 300/ACCPAC systems.
• Reconcile clearing accounts, accounts receivable, guest ledgers, refunds and deposits.
• Compile accurate monthly management accounts, forecasts and variance analyses.

Budgeting and Financial Planning

• Assist with annual budgets and strategic financial plans.
• Support capital expenditure studies and financial evaluations.

Audit, Controls and Compliance

• Assist with audit preparation and liaise with internal and external auditors.
• Implement and monitor internal controls in line with company procedures and group policies.
• Ensure compliance with statutory requirements, including VAT and financial submission deadlines.

Qualifications and Experience

Essential requirements:

• A relevant accounting or finance degree or diploma with at least three years of accounting experience, or completed SAIPA articles.
• Sound accounting and reconciliation skills.
• Ability to prepare accurate financial information and work within reporting deadlines.

Highly advantageous:

Previous experience within hospitality, hotels or luxury lodges would be beneficial, but is not essential.

Your accounting experience and technical capabilities are more important than previous hospitality exposure.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

• Work in the beautiful surroundings of the Kruger National Park.
• Private thatched-house accommodation provided for the duration of your employment.
• Join an established five-star hospitality environment catering to international guests.
• Gain valuable exposure to a broad range of accounting and financial management responsibilities.
• Enjoy a lifestyle centred around nature and wildlife.
