Questions

Where do I need to be based?

Our roles are remote and open to Professional, Registered Accountants anywhere in South Africa.

Which qualifications do you look for?

You must be a Professional, Registered Accountant (SAIPA, SAICA, CIMA, ACCA or SAIBA) with hands-on Xero experience. SAIT or SARS tax practitioner registration is an advantage. Attitude and accuracy matter as much as paper.

What are the hours?

Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm, with flexibility around deadlines. Month end and SARS filing seasons are busier; the rest of the year is calm by design.
