POSITION INFO:

This is not your average accounting firm. Founded by a talented and driven Professional Accountant, my client is a Cape Town-based practice driven by community, collaboration, and a hands-on, tech-forward approach. For seven years, they've been helping entrepreneurs and small businesses thrive by doing more than just the numbers - they dive into operations, unlock value, and train teams to use systems that work for them. They believe in working smarter, not harder, and they believe in empowering people - both their clients and one another.

We're seeking a qualified Professional Accountant (SA) who wants more than a 9-to-5. This is an opportunity for someone who's eager to build their own book of clients within an established, values-driven practice - with full support, guidance, and shared infrastructure. If you're passionate about small business, excited by technology, and want to grow in a collaborative environment that still gives you autonomy - this could be your next move.

What you'll be doing

Take ownership of a portfolio of clients (existing + new)
Conduct monthly accounting maintenance, including VAT, Payroll, Credit Control
Prepare Annual Financial Statements & manage audit prep
Advise on and implement cloud-based accounting solutions (Xero + partner apps)
Provide operational support and insights to business owners
Handle Company Income Tax and Secretarial requirements
Participate in our collaborative network - share knowledge, ideas, and support
Over time: mentor junior team members and contribute to practice growth

What we're looking for

SAIPA Qualified (registered Professional Accountant), and Registered Tax Practitioner
Completed SAIPA Articles, no more than 5 years additional experience
Proficient in Xero and comfortable exploring related tools
A self-starter with an entrepreneurial mindset
Solid communicator who enjoys working with clients, not just for them
Cape Town-based or willing to travel for occasional in-person collaboration

What's in it for you?

Work under the firm's umbrella and benefit from an established brand
Build your own client base - with freedom, support, and shared resources
Collaborate with like-minded accountants who value teamwork, not competition
Use smart, efficient systems that reduce admin and increase impact
Remote working opportunity
Be part of a future-focused, values-driven accounting community

If you don't hear back from us within 2 weeks of applying, please consider your application unsuccessful. But stay in touch - follow us online and keep an eye out for future opportunities.
