How to apply

Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): certified tax or accounting qualification plus proof of registration as a tax practitioner.
Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 5 working days.

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

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.

Tips to get shortlisted

Make sure your own tax affairs are up to date, as some firms check your compliance status before they appoint.
Give an example of a SARS dispute you won or a verification you cleared; firms value real results.
