MTN Invites suitably qualified applicants to apply for their Finance Graduate Programme vacancies. The closing date for applications is 30th September 2026.
About the Programme
If you’ve just finished university or are starting your first job in finance, the MTN Finance Graduate Programme 2026 at Bayobab in Johannesburg gives you a fair chance to learn real‑world money matters. You’ll dive into financial reporting, group consolidation (mixing money data from all the company’s parts), and the latest accounting rules, all while working in a fast‑moving, pan‑African team.
What You’ll Do
- Watch how money moves between MTN’s different branches and handle those moves from start to finish.
- Put numbers into the Hyperion Intercompany Tool and make sure they line up.
- Join the month‑end close: sign journal entries, compare accounts, and help produce reports for the whole group.
- Take part in group consolidation – combining all branch data into one clear picture.
- Check that everything follows IFRS rules and Bayobab’s own accounting policies.
- Give help during audits and keep the data accurate and tidy.
Doing these tasks gives you a solid base in finance and shows MTN you can help run the company smoothly.
What You’ll Learn
After the programme, you’ll know how to:
- Create clear financial reports and combine group data.
- Deal with IFRS standards and corporate compliance.
- Use common finance tools such as Oracle, SAP, and Hyperion.
- Master Excel for spreadsheets and reporting.
- Talk well with teammates, solve problems, and work in teams.
- Manage your time, stay flexible, and keep calm under pressure.
These skills are in high demand for any finance career.
