M&A Specialist

Job Description

Ready to help shape the next phase of growth in a fast-scaling healthcare group?

This is an opportunity to join a dynamic, acquisitive healthcare business in Cape Town that’s aggressively expanding through strategic acquisitions and organic growth. With strong shareholder backing and clear ambitions to more than double EBITDA over the next four years, this is not a “maintenance” role — it’s front-row exposure to real deals and real impact.

 

What this role is about:

Working closely with the CFO, you’ll play a key role in driving acquisitions, building sophisticated financial models, and supporting major investment decisions. From 51% share acquisitions to potential R400m+ transactions and new discipline expansion, you’ll help turn strategy into numbers — and numbers into action.

 

Key responsibilities:

• Build and maintain integrated financial models (P&L, cash flow, balance sheet)
• Develop acquisition valuations and investment cases
• Support financial due diligence and transaction execution
• Assist with funding analysis and deal structuring
• Track post-acquisition performance vs. assumptions
• Partner with operational leaders to translate strategy into financial insights

What we’re looking for:

• CA(SA) (non-negotiable)
• 2–3 years’ post-articles experience in corporate finance, transaction advisory, audit or similar
• Strong financial modelling expertise (beyond basic Excel templates)
• Commercial mindset with the ability to understand business drivers
• High attention to detail and ability to thrive in a high-intensity environment
• Exposure to healthcare funding models advantageous (not essential)

We’re looking for someone forward-thinking — ideally interested in automation and improving modelling/reporting processes — but who still understands the fundamentals behind the numbers.

 

What’s in it for you?

• Salary circa R1.1m – R1.2m (depending on experience)
• Guaranteed 13th cheque
• Exposure to high-value transactions and strategic growth
• Direct access to senior leadership and investment decision-making
