Harmattan Finance Graduate Programme 2027
The Harmattan Finance Graduate Programme 2027 offers a paid route into practical accounting work within a renewable-energy consultancy. This is an in-house finance position, rather than an investment or deal-advisory graduate role.
The placement runs for 24 months from 1 February 2027 and is full-time, based in the office in Rosebank, Johannesburg. Applications close on 30 October 2026; the employer does not state a closing hour.
Harmattan Finance Graduate Programme 2027 requirements
The role requires a BCom in Accounting or Finance, with Financial Accounting passed at third-year level, and no more than two years of full-time work experience. The advert also emphasises numerical accuracy, Excel and accounting-software skills, analysis, communication and organisation.
Harmattan describes its graduate opportunities as paid routes for black graduates across South Africa. No salary amount is published.
What the finance work involves
The work includes month-end accounts, invoicing, budgeting, cash-flow monitoring, reconciliations, financial records and compliance support. Graduates gain practical finance experience and exposure to the renewables sector while working with senior colleagues.
Prepare evidence of your accounting skills
The following suggestions are application advice, not additional employer requirements. Begin by checking that your transcript makes the required third-year Financial Accounting result easy to identify. Your CV should name the qualification precisely and distinguish completed studies from any work still outstanding.
Select one or two examples that demonstrate how you handle financial information. A genuine assignment involving reconciliations, a budget or a financial statement can be useful when you explain your own contribution. Describe the checks you used to catch errors, rather than simply claiming to be detail-oriented.
If you have worked with spreadsheets, be specific about what you can do. Someone who has used formulas to reconcile two lists should say that, rather than claiming advanced modelling skills. Keep any examples free of confidential employer or client information.
Application documents and submission
Email careers@harmattanrenewables.com with your CV, qualifications and academic transcript combined into one PDF, plus a one-page response explaining something you recently taught yourself and how you approached it.
For that response, choose a real learning experience. Explain why you needed the skill, the resources you used, where you struggled and how you checked your progress. A modest example with clear evidence is more convincing than an impressive claim you cannot explain.
Before sending, open the combined PDF and check page order, legibility and completeness. Make the role name clear in your email, verify the recipient address and retain your own copy. Consider your travel arrangements and availability for the stated start date before accepting any future offer.
