Company Description An Overview of Moore Johannesburg Moore Johannesburg is a leading professional services firm within the Moore Global network of 30,000 professionals across 500 offices in 113 countries. We are a growth focused, entrepreneurial firm; working with ambitious founder led businesses, private capital backed companies, and organisations that are building and evolving. Our work ranges from Audit, Advisory, and Tax. We believe technical excellence should always be paired with commercial thinking. We are building a firm that rewards initiative and capability and are looking for suitable individuals to be a part of our growing culture. Our Culture Our trainees work closely with managers, business leaders, and partners. You will be expected to engage, think critically, and contribute. Early responsibility is not something you earn in year three, as it starts much earlier if you show the capacity for it. We value independent thinking, intellectual curiosity, and the ability to challenge respectfully. Strong performance is recognised quickly. Responsibility grows with competence, not simply with time served. Role Description As a SAICA trainee, you will participate in planning and executing audit engagements, assist in preparing financial statements, perform analytical procedures, and evaluate internal controls. You will engage directly with clients and develop a real understanding of how businesses operate, grow, and sometimes struggle. You will gain exposure across industries and, where possible, across service lines. We believe breadth builds stronger commercial judgement and more capable CAs. We are seeking highly motivated and ambitious individuals to join our team as an Audit Trainee. As an Audit Trainee, you will be exposed to a range of audit assignments and will have the opportunity to learn from experienced professionals in the field. If you are looking for a narrow, highly structured, low risk path where your role is clearly defined and rarely stretched, we are likely not the firm for you, however, if you are looking for broad exposure, accelerated development, and the opportunity to grow beyond the minimum standard, you will likely thrive here. Duties & Responsibilities Participating in the planning and execution of audit engagements Assisting in the preparation of financial statements and reports Conducting analytical procedures and tests of controls Developing an understanding of client businesses and industries Participating in client meetings and communicating with client personnel Maintaining accurate and complete audit documentation Qualifications SAICA accredited Postgraduate Diploma in Accounting (PGDA) with a BAccSci or BCom Accounting undergraduate degree Strong academic record Excellent communication and interpersonal skills Strong analytical and problem-solving skills Ability to work effectively in a team environment Willingness to learn and take on new challenges If you are ambitious, commercially curious, and ready to take ownership early, we encourage you to apply

Right now there are 11,726 open accountant positions on WorkMundi. The US leads with 3,242 jobs, followed by India (2,285), Australia (1,359), Philippines (629), and Singapore (441). If you've been thinking your options are limited to one country, look again.
One practical move: search by country first, not just by job title. The accountant role differs in scope, compliance, and day-to-day work depending on where you'd be based. A position in Australia may involve different tax codes, audit standards, and reporting cycles than one in India or the US. Narrowing by location before you read descriptions saves time and helps you spot roles that actually fit your expertise.
When you interview for an accountant role, expect this question: "Walk me through how you'd handle a transaction that doesn't reconcile." Hiring managers ask it because they want to see your troubleshooting method, not just whether you found the error. Practice explaining your logic step-by-step — what you check first, how you document it, and how you escalate if needed. That matters more than the final answer.
