Applying, step by step

Make sure the role, the hours and working in Bellville really suit you before you apply.
Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: certified tax or accounting qualification, proof of registration as a tax practitioner plus your own tax compliance status PIN, as firms check it.

Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 10 working days.

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

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.

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.
