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

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

Give an example of a SARS dispute you won or a verification you cleared; firms value real results.
List your tax practitioner number and controlling body in the first line of your CV.
