This role
The Financial Analyst will work directly with PayJoy South Africa's data warehouse to build, maintain, and improve the
reporting that underpins the accounting function. The role bridges raw transactional and portfolio data with the financial
statements, working closely with accounting, financial reporting, and audit stakeholders to ensure that reports are

working understanding of accounting and lending concepts (e.g. amortisation, depreciation, charge-offs, provisioning).
