Success Guide
Hi there. This role is a lovely fit if you have just finished your SAIPA articles or passed your PA(SA) and you are hungry for real group reporting experience in the CBD. When you apply, make sure your CV clearly shows your articles completion date, your PA(SA) status and any exposure you have had to management accounts, reconciliations or BBBEE work. Even small examples help, like a report you helped put together or a tool you used such as BEE123. Register on the Communicate Finance website as they ask, and keep your profile updated so they can match you to other finance roles too. Interviews here will likely test your understanding of reconciliations and how you allocate costs to clients, so be ready to walk through a real example. Be confident, be specific and good luck.
