FINANCE MANAGER – Namibia Tourism Board

Most employers require a bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or Commerce from a recognized Namibian or South African institution. Professional certifications such as ACCA, CIMA, or CA (Namibia or SA) are highly valued and often preferred for senior finance positions.

You will oversee budgeting, financial reporting, and compliance with Namibian tax laws including VAT and PAYE submissions. The role also involves managing audit preparations, cash flow forecasting, and advising senior leadership on financial strategy.

Namibian workplaces often emphasize hierarchical respect and collaborative decision-making across diverse teams. Punctuality and professionalism are expected, though relationships and clear communication are equally important in building trust with colleagues and stakeholders.

Experienced Finance Managers can advance to roles such as Financial Director, Chief Financial Officer, or Managing Director within larger organizations. Some transition into consultancy or pursue opportunities in regional SADC markets with multinational companies operating in Namibia.

Typical packages include medical aid contributions, pension or provident fund arrangements, and annual leave aligned with Namibian Labour Act requirements. Additional benefits may include performance bonuses, vehicle allowances, and professional development support for maintaining certifications.

Employers prioritize demonstrated experience with Namibian regulatory frameworks, strong ERP system skills, and proven leadership abilities. Tailor your CV to highlight sector-specific achievements, ensure referees are reachable, and apply through official channels with a concise cover letter addressing the specific role requirements.
