DB Recruitment is looking for a Project Accountant in Gauteng for a contract role. The salary is market related, and applications close on 27 December 2026. The advert reference number is DB01773. This is a hands-on accounting role for someone who can take charge of project-related finances, from costing through to reconciliations, and who brings recognised accounting training to the table.
DB Recruitment is a recruitment agency, and this vacancy is listed for a client in the manufacturing and finance space. The advert places the role in Gauteng, and it is offered on a contract basis rather than as a permanent appointment. Project accounting sits at the meeting point of finance and operations: the person in the role keeps project costs visible, accurate and under control, so that management can see exactly where money is going and make decisions on solid numbers rather than estimates.
One point worth noting for applicants: Careers24 shows this same vacancy under several Gauteng regional labels — Pretoria, East Rand, West Rand, Johannesburg and Gauteng — all carrying the same reference number, DB01773, and the same advert text. This post therefore covers the vacancy once, using the Gauteng listing, so that applicants are not misled into thinking there are five separate roles.
The advert itself is short and does not publish a detailed day-to-day duty list. The confirmed facts are:
From the requirements, the work clearly centres on project and product costing and on hands-on financial processing — cost accounting, accounts payable and receivable work, bank reconciliations, and the audit of owner-managed businesses. Applicants who want the full scope of the role, including the length of the contract, the client and the reporting lines, should confirm those details in the original advert or with the recruiter before applying.
Applicants should meet the following requirements, as stated in the original advert:
The advert presents the qualification requirement as a single combined line, so applicants whose qualifications are close but not identical should check with the recruiter whether their combination is acceptable rather than assuming they are excluded.
Apply only through the original Careers24 listing, using the Apply button on this page, which links directly to the advert. Be wary of anyone who asks you to pay a fee to secure a job or who contacts you outside the official listing: genuine employers and recruiters do not charge applicants for placement.
With a short advert, your application has to do the persuading. Show clearly that you hold the stated qualification route and give concrete examples of the processing work you have done — a costing exercise you ran, a reconciliation you owned, or an audit file you worked on. If you have project or product costing experience, put it near the top of your CV, since the advert names it as a distinct requirement. Keep your CV neat, honest and free of errors, and be ready to explain how you moved from transactional processing into project costing, because the recruiter is likely to probe that step.
Applications are submitted through the Careers24 listing for this vacancy. The advert had 2 applications and 61 views on the Gauteng listing at the time of writing. DB Recruitment states that it is fully compliant with the POPI Act of 2013, and that if you have not heard from the recruiter within 10 days of applying, you should assume your application was unsuccessful. Applying gives the recruiter permission to keep your details on its secure database should any future positions become available.
