What the job is: This is an opportunity to join an audit and advisory firm based in Bryanston, Gauteng, near the N1 highway. The company has been operating for over 40 years and has offices across South Africa and Africa. They focus on helping people grow their careers in accounting and auditing while maintaining a strong team culture. As an Article Clerk, you will be part of a smaller team compared to larger firms, which means you’ll get more hands-on experience and exposure to different industries.

What you will do: You will spend most of your time working directly with clients rather than being stuck in an office all week. This means you’ll gain real-world experience in auditing and advisory work across various industries, which is not always possible in bigger firms. You will assist with auditing tasks, learn about financial processes, and work closely with experienced professionals. As a member of the Johannesburg Article Clerks Association (JACASS), you’ll also get involved in charity work and team-building activities. The firm is part of the Geneva Group International (GGI), which adds to the professional network and support you’ll receive.

What you need: To qualify for this role, you must have completed Matric (Grade 12) with good marks and be enrolled in or have completed a B.Com Accounting degree. This is your first time attempting articles, and you must be passionate about becoming a Chartered Accountant. You need a valid driver’s license and your own car because the job involves traveling to clients regularly. Strong computer skills, excellent communication (both verbal and written), and a professional appearance are essential. Being deadline-driven, hardworking, and able to handle pressure are also important traits for this role.

What you will get: Your salary will depend on the qualifications you’ve already completed before starting your articles. The company offers affiliation with CAMAF for medical aid, travel reimbursement since you won’t always be office-based, two discretionary bonuses per year, and extra study leave days. This opportunity is only open to South African citizens.
