How to apply

Make sure the role, the hours and working in Johannesburg CBD really suit you before you apply.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): certified tax or accounting qualification, your own tax compliance status PIN, as firms check it plus proof of registration as a tax practitioner.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Before you hit apply

List your tax practitioner number and controlling body in the first line of your CV.
Make sure your own tax affairs are up to date, as some firms check your compliance status before they appoint.
