We connect brilliant minds with companies that actually get them. Serious about growth, light on the drama.

We’re currently looking for a Property Accountant – a role for someone who thrives in Property Accounting | Commercial Strategy | Stakeholder Engagement and wants to make a real difference.

POSITION INFO:
If the BBC were casting Listing Cape Town, your spreadsheets would already have an agent.

We’re looking for a Property Accountant who understands that Cape Town property is part numbers, part nuance, and part knowing how to explain a balance sheet without putting the room to sleep.
You’ve worked in property before, you’re commercially switched on, and you can talk figures with the same confidence as others talk sea views and square meters.

This role is for someone who:
- Has proven property accounting experience (this is essential)
- Is business-minded and commercially astute, not just technically correct
- Communicates clearly, confidently, and professionally with non-finance stakeholders
- Has strong academic foundations and takes pride in getting the details right
- Can hold their own in a boardroom, on-site, or in a high-level client conversation

You’ll be involved in more than just reporting. This role touches decision-making, strategy, and stakeholder engagement across a dynamic property portfolio. Visibility is high, expectations are higher, and the work is genuinely interesting.

CA(SA) will be advantageous, but we’re equally interested in sharp thinkers with real property exposure and the confidence to back their numbers.

If your idea of prime property is accuracy, insight, and commercial impact, apply now.

NB! This job is now closed. You can apply for other jobs by uploading your CV.
