We are seeking an experienced Finance Manager to oversee financial operations for our Australian agricultural and agribusiness interests, with a strong focus on cross-border activities linked to farming operations across Mozambique, South Africa, and the wider Southern Africa region.

The successful candidate will manage budgeting, reporting, cash flow, compliance, and financial strategy while travelling regularly between Australia and key farming locations in Southern Africa.

Essential: The candidate must have a strong ability to understand and work effectively within both the South African and Mozambican environments — including commercial farming systems, rural logistics, local business practices, regulatory contexts, cultural and operational realities, and on-the-ground conditions specific to each country.

Afrikaans fluency is required for effective communication with key stakeholders, farm managers, suppliers, and partners throughout the Southern African agricultural network.

Key Responsibilities

- Lead end-to-end financial management, including budgeting, forecasting, management reporting, and financial analysis for Australian and Southern Africa-linked agricultural operations (with particular focus on Mozambique and South Africa).
- Oversee cash flow, working capital, cost control, and profitability across farming, logistics, and trading activities in the region.




- Ensure compliance with Australian financial regulations, tax requirements, and international reporting standards; support financial processes across Mozambican, South African, and other Southern African operations.
- Travel regularly to farm sites in Mozambique, South Africa, and other Southern African countries to review on-the-ground financial performance, inventory, operational costs, and risk factors specific to the local farming and business environments.
- Prepare accurate financial models and business cases that reflect real-world conditions in both the South African and Mozambican environments (seasonality, weather impact, input costs, labour, transport, market access, regulatory differences, and operational realities unique to each country).
- Manage relationships with banks, auditors, insurers, and key commercial partners in Australia and across Southern Africa.
- Provide explicit financial insights and recommendations to senior management in Afrikaans and English.
- Identify cost-saving opportunities and process improvements suited to remote and rural farming operations in South Africa and Mozambique.
- Support visa and immigration processes as required for ongoing travel and work arrangements.
