If you're a CA(SA) who lights up at the sight of complex revenue streams, can dissect IFRS 15 like a pro, and thrives in environments where precision meets performance, then this Senior Accountant opportunity in Cape Town might be the next big leap your career deserves.

A leading organisation in the Professional Services / Corporate Finance sector is looking for a technically gifted Senior Accountant who knows how to transform complexity into clarity.

Based in Mowbray, Cape Town (southern suburbs), this role is crafted for a CA(SA) with 5+ years post-article experience who enjoys working in a fast-paced, intellectually stimulating environment where high standards are the norm, not the exception.

Your speciality? IFRS 15 – Revenue Recognition. Your mission? Ensuring that the business's revenue reporting is airtight, compliant, and strategically insightful. You'll work closely with senior leadership, interpret contracts, support month-end accuracy, and drive technical excellence across the finance function.

This is not a "tick-the-box" accounting role — It's a role for someone who wants their technical brainpower to be seen, valued, and put to work.

Why You Should Work Here:
Because you'll join a business that values sharp minds, high-performing talent, and technical thinkers who elevate the team around them. Expect exposure, visibility, and the chance to work on some of the most interesting revenue models in the market.

If you enjoy being the person who knows this standard inside out, this is your playground.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Lead revenue recognition processes in line with IFRS 15
  • Interpret client/contract arrangements and ensure accurate revenue treatment
  • Oversee technical accounting compliance and financial controls
  • Support month-end reporting, reconciliations, and audit preparation
  • Prepare high-quality technical papers & accounting position documents
  • Collaborate with commercial & operational teams on contract structures
  • Contribute to continuous improvement, systems optimisation & process refinement

Job Experience & Skills Required:
  • CA(SA) — essential
  • Minimum 5 years post-articles experience
  • Strong technical accounting exposure with a focus on IFRS 15
  • Experience in high-volume, complex or contract-driven environments
  • Advanced Excel & strong systems capability
  • Analytical, structured, detailed, and comfortable guiding stakeholders
  • EE candidates preferred (but role remains open and inclusive)
