SUMMARY:

Accountant (3-Month Contract)

Brief Description:
Are you a technically skilled accountant with strong Draftworx experience and a solid grasp of compilation engagements? Our client, an established accounting and tax practice with over 23 years in operation, is seeking a contract Financial Statement Preparer to assist with a 3-month project clearing a backlog of financial statements. This is an ideal opportunity for an immediately available professional who thrives in a structured, fast-paced environment.

POSITION INFO:

Company and Job Description:

Join a respected accounting and tax practice based in Johannesburg South that has built a reputation for quality, professionalism, and integrity over two decades. The firm operates from private, purpose-built offices with secure parking and modern facilities.

The selected candidate will work on-site (no remote or hybrid) to help alleviate a backlog of approximately 30 sets of financial statements (compilation engagements only – no audits). You will receive a Pastel Partner V18 backup and prior working papers for each client to produce complete Annual Financial Statements (AFS) and corresponding working paper files, including depreciation and fixed asset schedules, VAT reconciliations, and related support schedules.

This project will run for approximately three months, and all equipment will be provided. Due to the short duration and urgency, no training will be provided – applicants must already possess the relevant technical expertise to execute the engagement with minimal supervision.

If you’re highly experienced in Draftworx, detail-oriented, and confident working independently, this is an excellent short-term opportunity to showcase your accounting skills in a professional, established environment.

Key Responsibilities:

Draft Annual Financial Statements (AFS) in accordance with IFRS and IFRS for SMEs.
Prepare and maintain complete working paper files including lead schedules, trial balances, and reconciliations.
Manage fixed asset registers, depreciation, disposals, and acquisitions.
Prepare analytical reviews, VAT reconciliations, salary schedules, and related supporting documentation.
Perform year-end adjustments and write-ups from accounting records.

Job Experience and Skills Required:

Education: Matric and a completed BCom Accounting or related qualification.
Professional Training: Completed or nearly completed SAIBA, SAIPA, or SAICA articles.
Experience: Minimum 3–5 years in an accounting or audit firm, with proven Draftworx (or CaseWare) experience.
Systems: Proficiency in Draftworx, Pastel Partner V18, Sage 50c, and Microsoft Excel.
Skills: Strong technical accounting knowledge, file management, and analytical review ability.
Other: Must be available to work on-site in Johannesburg South and able to operate independently with minimal supervision.
