Date posted:

Monday, February 16, 2026

Cape Town, South Africa

SUMMARY:
You’ve built a serious reputation in corporate tax, plus strong academics, proven commercial exposure, and the kind of technical credibility that makes people listen when you speak.

I work closely with established corporates, listed groups, and high-growth organizations that seek tax professionals who combine deep technical ability with commercial insight. These are environments where tax is seen as a strategic business function, not just a compliance exercise.

Key Responsibilities:

Manage corporate income tax strategy, planning, and compliance within a commercial business environment
Partner with finance leadership on tax risk, governance, and structuring decisions
Lead or support tax audits, disputes, and stakeholder engagement with regulatory bodies
Provide technical guidance on complex tax matters, including cross-border considerations and business projects
Drive process improvements and strengthen tax governance frameworks

BCom Honours or equivalent in Tax / Accounting / Finance
Qualified CA(SA) or TA(SA) preferred
Strong academic track record. Cum Laude achievements highly valued
3–5 years' commercial experience post-SAIT- or SAICA-articles
Proven corporate tax exposure within a medium to large organisation or advisory environment
Experience partnering with finance or business leadership teams
Strong technical understanding of South African corporate tax legislation
Ability to translate technical tax issues into commercial decisions
