Applying, step by step

Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: a CV noting headcount and payroll software you ran, your payroll or accounting qualification plus certified copy of your SA ID or work permit.
Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 6 working days.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Pinetown.

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.

How to stand out

Be ready for a practical test calculating PAYE and overtime; take a calculator you know well.
Mention every SARS submission you have done yourself; recruiters ask about EMP501 recons in the first call.
