A well-known South African market leader in in-store marketing and brand awareness is looking for a Company Accountant to join its team in Cape Town’s northern suburbs. Applications close on November 13, 2026. This is a broad, hands-on finance role: the successful candidate will take full responsibility for tax compliance and the full accounting function, including accounting and financial reporting, VAT and payroll.
About the company and the work
The position is advertised through Western Cape Recruitment, a recruitment agency previously known as Visp Service that connects candidates with opportunities across the Western Cape. The client is a well-known South African market leader in in-store marketing and brand awareness. The work covers the whole accounting function of the business rather than one narrow slice of it, so it will suit an accountant who is comfortable owning reporting, tax and payroll together and keeping the company’s financial records accurate and compliant.
Role details and duties
As Company Accountant, you will take full responsibility for tax compliance and the full accounting function. That includes accounting and financial reporting, VAT and payroll. The advert publishes no separate day-to-day duty list beyond that description, so the post does not invent one. The role is permanent, the salary is market related, and the reference number is CPT000381/SLG. Please note that the same vacancy is also listed for the wider Western Cape and in a longer-running Cape Town Northern Suburbs posting; this post covers the Cape Town Northern Suburbs listing closing on November 13, 2026, and applicants should confirm the work location in the original advert.
Requirements
Only the requirements stated in the original advert are listed here:
- A Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting or equivalent.
- Minimum 1 to 2 years of experience in a similar role.
- Proficiency in accounting software.
- Experience and knowledge of payroll software.
The advert states no separate experience level label, so none is shown in the job details on this page.
Where to find and apply safely
This opportunity is listed on Careers24, and the Apply button on this page links to the original listing. Apply only through that original listing and be cautious of anyone who asks you to pay a fee or share banking details to secure an interview. The advert notes that this is an external application, so you will complete the employer’s own application process after clicking through.
Practical tips
- Lead with your accounting degree and your 1 to 2 years of experience in a similar role.
- Show your proficiency in accounting software and your experience with payroll software, since both are named in the advert.
- Give examples of reporting, VAT and tax compliance work you have handled, as the role owns the full accounting function.
- Keep your CV tidy and accurate: an accountant’s application is itself a sample of their attention to detail.
- Apply before the November 13, 2026 closing date, as this listing has a short window.
How the process works
Use the Apply button to reach the original Careers24 listing and follow its application instructions. The advert notes that if you have not received any feedback within 2 weeks after your application, you should consider your application unsuccessful.
