HaysMac City of Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa

HaysMac is an award-winning firm of chartered accountants and tax advisors, with almost 40 partners and over 500 staff, providing advice and services to entrepreneurs, fast-growing and owner-managed businesses, charities, and not-for-profit organisations across the UK and internationally. From our trainees to our partners, our culture of support and progression means we grow together as one firm to best help our clients.

We are a top 20 London accountancy firm, a leading member of MSI Global Alliance, and advisers to some of the UK's most exciting businesses and charities. Our team of over 500 people all work together in our modern offices located in London and Cape Town.

The role and responsibilities

You are our future; so we want to give you the best opportunity to help us grow together. These are some of the things we'll offer you:

We have opportunities in our Business Tax team where you will be joining a large tax team, mainly based in the UK, with a considerable breadth of expertise on all aspects of tax, from everyday matters to specialist sectors, helping clients plan the most tax-efficient approach to every aspect of business.

We also have opportunities in our Private Client Tax team where you will be a member of an established tax team focusing on providing personal tax and trust services to a variety of industry sectors.

Joining a dynamic team of advisors in our tax team, you will be studying for an internationally recognised dual qualification and membership of both the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (the ICAEW) and the Chartered Institute of Taxation (CIOT).

From day one, working from our flagship Cape Town office, you will be working on challenging and exciting engagements in a variety of sectors. You will be a part of a close-knit graduate cohort, based in our UK and South African offices, full of self-starters, problem-solvers, and collaborators, who strive to continually enhance their skills and knowledge.

Over the course of your 3.5-year training contract, you will have access to personal development programmes and high-quality training whilst working towards your internationally recognised ACA - CTA professional qualification, alongside mentoring and support from peers and leaders alike.

You will be assigned a line manager and a buddy from day one to support your career and development, and help you transition into the world of work.

We host events so you can socialise with your colleagues outside of work, and network with other people at HaysMac. From our summer sports day party to events organised by our Connect committee such as cycling at the velodrome, puppy yoga, and pottery painting, we pride ourselves on making time for one another.

We give you the opportunity to support local communities through our Corporate Social Responsibility ("CSR") programme. We highly value supporting local causes, and we welcome and encourage our staff to participate in charity events and fundraising they are interested in.

As a firm, we are committed to environmental and sustainability initiatives. We demonstrate this commitment through several schemes, such as implementing energy-efficient practices and technologies throughout our operations. We also encourage everyone to play their part in the office, promoting recycling, reusing materials, and reducing the amount of paper used in day-to-day operations.

We are looking for candidates who want to kickstart their career in Tax by being exposed to a wide range of UK and international clients. Our firm values are very important to us, and we are seeking candidates who equally value these. You will be motivated by having hands-on experience working with clients, as well as collaborating with Seniors, Managers, Directors, and Partners across the firm. In return, we offer a supportive environment whereby working together with you, we can propel your personal and professional development for a successful career in Tax at HaysMac.
