A well-established financial services firm in Johannesburg is looking for a Senior Tax Consultant to join its team. This permanent senior role, advertised by Hire Resolve, is for a tax professional who can give expert advice, manage complex tax matters and keep clients compliant with South African tax law. It is a client-facing role that rewards accuracy, sound judgement and the ability to juggle several portfolios at once.

Its recruitment expertise spans engineering, mining, IT, finance, manufacturing, construction, supply chain, logistics, renewable energy, sales, marketing and many other sectors.

The listing location is Johannesburg, the position is permanent at senior level, and the salary range stated in the advert is R20,800 to R37,500 per month. The advert carries reference 206753 and, at the time of listing, an expiry window of 17 days.

Role details and duties

The Senior Tax Consultant will be responsible for providing expert tax advice, managing complex tax matters, ensuring compliance with relevant legislation, and delivering high-quality tax services to clients. The work covers both individual and corporate tax returns and tax compliance, and it involves working with SARS eFiling and relevant tax software. Because the role serves multiple clients, it calls for careful deadline management and the ability to handle several client portfolios at the same time, while maintaining strong client relationships.

Requirements

Only the requirements stated in the source advert are listed here. Applicants should hold a relevant degree or qualification in taxation, accounting or finance, and have proven experience in a tax consulting role, preferably at a senior level. The advert asks for strong knowledge of South African tax legislation and SARS procedures, experience with individual and corporate tax returns and tax compliance, and proficiency in SARS eFiling and relevant tax software. It also asks for strong analytical, problem-solving and organisational skills, excellent communication and client relationship management abilities, and the ability to work independently, manage deadlines and handle multiple client portfolios. The advert itself is brief and invents no further duties beyond what the source states; readers should check the original advert for the full wording.

Where to find and apply safely

This is an informational listing only. The safest way to apply is through the original CareerJunction advert, using the Apply button on this page, which leads to the source listing. Read the full advert there and apply only through that official route. Never pay anyone to secure a job, and be cautious of anyone asking for fees, bank details or personal documents outside the official application process.

Practical tips

Before applying, make sure your CV clearly shows your tax consulting experience, your knowledge of South African tax legislation and SARS procedures, and your hands-on work with eFiling and tax software. Examples of individual and corporate returns you have handled, and of complex matters you have resolved, will strengthen your application. If you manage several client portfolios, say so plainly, and highlight how you prioritise deadlines.

How the process works

Applications are made through the original advert on CareerJunction. The recruiter reviews applications against the stated requirements and contacts shortlisted candidates for the next steps. Keep a copy of your application and note the reference number 206753 when following up.
