As Edison Stone grows so does the operational volume increase and our Finance team needs to meet this volume. We are searching for a self-reliant and proactive finance team member who can help bring efficiencies and innovations to our capacity. By having clearer financial processes and hitting deadlines we allow ourselves the advantage of making better financial decisions in the team. Our Finance team is one of the key functions that keep our business running smoothly and efficiently.
We see ourselves as helping people find more moments of joy in their homes, through products that make daily life more delicious, more comfortable, more innovative and more beautiful. And we do it through our omnichannel shopping experience, providing our world-class service to our customers both in our stores and online - wherever it suits them best.
Yuppiechef is South Africa's premier kitchen and homeware store. Based in Cape Town, our big vision is to build the world's best shopping experience and to make retail better.

You will be responsible for ensuring our day to day processing activities meet the targets that we set as a team and in compliance with our internal controls and requirements.

Who you'll be working with
You will work alongside a team that is passionate about what they do and set high standards for what they want to achieve. Our team's interdependence means that we all feel the effect when targets are not achieved or shortcuts are taken. They pride themselves on everything balancing, finding the root cause of issues and improving their own skills to innovate how they work. This is a great place to learn and the right candidate will be inspired to reach ever-increasing levels of excellence.
Who you are
Besides having the necessary talent and experience for the role, we are looking for a teammate who has high attention to detail and feels that they have had a good day when their 'to do list" is cleared! You should find satisfaction in having your work processes organised. This role is for someone who thrives when given the autonomy to succeed and can work independently when needed. You should be precise and clear about what needs to be achieved on any given day but also have the flexibility to shift when an unexpected hurdle comes our way, delivering the solution calmly and confidently.
