Who we hire in CAPE TOWN
... at a tax and accounting practice with one foot in South Africa and one in Germany, an AI-assisted back office, and a team of about twenty people who prefer doing the work well over talking about it.
Bookkeeper Accounting Practice
📍 Hout Bay, Cape Town (on-site), Full-time, permanent, ZAR 22 000 - 28 000
You do not need to speak German for this role. The work is done in English; the German chart of accounts, VAT logic and DATEV are taught during onboarding. You take ownership of a portfolio of German client accounts – small companies and self-employed professionals in the medical sector – from monthly postings through reconciliations to a clean set of figures for the tax team. You work in DATEV with an AI-assisted back office. What you bring is at least three years of hands-on bookkeeping, a formal qualification and a solid grip on GL, debtors, creditors and reconciliations.

Personal Assistant to the Principal & Head of Office - Client relations and Office Coordination
📍 Hout Bay, Cape Town (on-site), Full-time, permanent, ZAR 22 000 - 28 000
You become the face and voice of the firm: phone, central inbox, clients at the office, their deadlines and missing documents. You keep the office running – suppliers, invoices, onboarding of clients and colleagues, internal events – and you run our recruitment processes. This is not a reception job and not a job for someone who waits for instructions. You bring at least five years in a role with client contact and real organisational responsibility, fluent written English, discretion and your own transport. German is an advantage.

Nothing that fits?
If you are an experienced bookkeeper, tax administrator or assistant in the Cape Town area and think you would fit into a practice like ours, write to mail@steiner-taxconsultants.com with a short note on what you do best. We keep good profiles on file.
How we hire
Four steps, and you know where you stand at each one.
1. Online application. Instead of a CV screening you complete a short form: a few details about you, two questions about your experience, and a practical part – bookkeeping tasks for the bookkeeper role, a written case for the assistant role. It takes 20 to 30 minutes and it replaces the first phone call.
2. Our reply within one week. Everyone hears back from us, with a decision, not a holding message.
3. One interview at our office in Hout Bay. With the principal and the person who would be your mentor or your direct colleague. You see the office, you meet the team, we talk about the work.
4. Decision within two days. If it's a yes, it's a permanent contract with a three-month probation period and a structured onboarding.
Your data is handled in line with POPIA and used for this recruitment only.
