About Project Y

Project Y is the premier partner for international companies hiring dedicated Finance Operations Specialists from South Africa.

We partner with fast-growing companies in the United States and Europe to support their finance operations, embedding highly skilled Finance and Operations specialists and supporting those with a centralized AI-enabled approach to improve workflows, tooling, and process outcomes.

About the Role

We’re developing a new approach to finance operations.

This is not a traditional accounting-only role. It is not a bookkeeping-only position. It is not a purely strategic finance advisory role.

This role sits within modern finance operations, where accounting execution, financial reporting, process ownership, and system accuracy come together.

You will be employed through Project Y as the Employer of Record and work remotely with selected international companies (primarily in the US and Europe), supporting their day-to-day financial operations across multiple entities and systems.

You will gain exposure to:

  • Month-end close processes (journals, accruals, reconciliations)

  • Multi-entity and intercompany accounting environments

  • International compliance standards (e.g. VAT / sales tax / GAAP exposure)

  • ERP systems such as Microsoft Dynamics / Business Central

You will also be supported by AI-enabled tools and workflow automation, allowing you to focus on higher-value finance operations.

This is an opportunity to gain experience operating in global finance environments while developing operational and technology-enabled finance skills.
