Is this you?

You’re an organised and detail-focused accounting professional who enjoys producing accurate work and building trusted relationships. Deadlines motivate rather than overwhelm you, and you thrive in a collaborative environment where accountability, problem-solving and exceptional client service are valued. Strong communication comes naturally, and you take pride in delivering work of the highest standard.

What you’ll be doing (and why you’ll enjoy it)

Your focus will be on maintaining accounting records to trial balance, preparing financial statements for trusts and companies, managing tax compliance and producing financial reports for client meetings and statutory requirements. You’ll work closely with relationship managers, administrators and international colleagues to ensure accurate, timely reporting. You’ll enjoy this role because it offers variety, exposure to complex financial structures and the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to a high-performing client accounting team.

This opportunity is with a globally recognised multi-family office and wealth advisory business that partners with high-net-worth individuals and families. Known for its collaborative culture, international reach and commitment to professional excellence, the organisation offers exposure to sophisticated financial matters while encouraging continuous development and teamwork.

What you’ll need

A BCom Accounting degree together with completed SAIPA Articles and the professional examination are non-negotiable. Exposure to trusts and company structures is essential, along with knowledge of IFRS for SMEs, CaseWare, Xero and Microsoft Office. Registration as a Tax Practitioner, or the ability to complete the SARS readiness programme, will be advantageous.

What you’ll get

A rewarding opportunity to develop your career within a respected international business, working alongside experienced professionals on complex client portfolios. You’ll gain valuable exposure, continuous learning opportunities and a supportive team environment while earning a competitive market-related salary which includes medical aid, pension fund 25 days leave per year and 1 day per week work from home.
