Job Context & Strategic Operational Environment

The biotechnology and regenerative medicine fields represent some of the fastest-growing, venture-backed startup corridors globally. Managing the financial parameters of two distinct firms inside this high-tech landscape demands far more than routine bookkeeping data entry. Startups in this vertical scale rapidly, handling multi-layered funding lines, complex sales commission modeling for medical reps, and distinct inventory challenges related to life-science equipment or medical distribution channels.

As the Part-time Financial Controller, you will step in as the primary financial engineer for both organizations. Rather than executing passive administration, your mandate is to independently audit existing administrative workflows, pinpoint procedural vulnerabilities, and design robust Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) capable of turning a loose startup system into an institutional-grade, audit-ready accounting function. Because this role reports directly to the CEO, you will have a clear, uninhibited view of the corporate trajectory, giving you the professional space to construct accounting frameworks from the ground up.

Operational Flexibility Notice: While this position features high autonomy and flexible working hours designed around your personal routine, deliverables must be managed tightly against predictable weekly deadlines. This makes the role perfect for experienced finance managers, corporate moms, or freelance accountants seeking high-yield, remote contract work.

Key Duties and Responsibilities

1. Debtors & Accounts Receivable Architecture

• Take full ownership of the end-to-end customer invoicing pipeline for both corporate entities, ensuring precise billing structures.

• Monitor incoming cash collections actively, execute detailed monthly age analyses, and proactively implement polite yet assertive payment escalation protocols for outstanding accounts.

2. Accounts Payable & Centralized Banking Controls

• Govern the centralized corporate accounts payable inbox, matching inbound vendor invoices against purchase orders and internal delivery records.

• Compile and prepare highly organized weekly payment runs for executive sign-off.

• Upload authorized transaction profiles directly into online corporate banking portals with flawless attention to detail, preventing processing delays.

3. Sales Commission Architecture & Reconciliation

• Systematically calculate, audit, and cross-reconcile monthly performance-based sales team commission reports against verified commercial revenue outcomes.

• Maintain complete transparency and formula accuracy within commission tracking sheets to ensure sales team alignment.

4. Expense Management & Financial Diagnostics

• Oversee the strict collection, tax coding, and accurate structural categorization of all corporate expenses inside the Xero accounting platform.

• Generate granular monthly expense analysis summaries broken down clearly by individual departments, projects, and specific operational resource categories.

5. External Liaison & Process Engineering

• Act as the authoritative primary conduit between internal executive leadership and the external bookkeeping agency, compiling clear weekly cash flow projections for the CEO.

• Review monthly management accounts alongside external partners to ensure reporting accuracy.

• Author, implement, and institutionalize new functional accounting templates and standard operating procedures to scale the business safely.

Minimum Requirements & Software Competencies

Experience & Core Attributes

• A minimum of 3 to 5+ years of continuous, referenceable experience working directly within a financial administration, corporate accounting, management bookkeeping, or controller-adjacent capacity.

• Proven history of complete ledger autonomy, demonstrating that you can manage debtors and accounts payable life cycles completely under minimal supervision.

• Exceptional attention to detail, strong personal accountability, and an innate, process-driven mindset that addresses compliance gaps before they become liabilities.

• Absolute professional discretion and a high ethical posture appropriate for handling sensitive financial data, investor sheets, and corporate cap tables.

Mandatory Software Mastery

• Xero Ecosystem: Advanced operational proficiency is mandatory. The client requires a professional who can navigate Xero flawlessly from day one with zero training overhead.

• Microsoft Excel / Google Sheets: High-level competency in data modeling, pivot tables, and formulas to execute commission calculations and expense deep-dives.

• Online Banking Systems: Direct, hands-on experience setting up bulk payment files and navigating secure corporate banking interfaces.

Preferred (Advantageous) Parameters

• Prior administrative experience working inside the life sciences, medical device distribution, or venture-capital-backed start-up landscapes.

• Practical understanding of South African payroll frameworks, local corporate VAT regulations, and standard SARS compliance protocols.

• Foundational familiarity with Unleashed or similar cloud-based inventory management/ERP software platforms.
