Staff Accountant (BBS865)

We're looking for a Staff Accountant to run the monthly accounting cycle for a simulated portfolio of small, owner-managed clients, from payroll and the client's monthly information pack through to reconciled books, the management report, and the VAT and payroll returns. Your work becomes the training data and workflow designs that a cutting-edge AI accounting system learns from. This is a long-term, permanent role working directly with the founder and an AI partner at the frontier of AI development in accounting.

The work here goes beyond standard month-end execution. You will run each simulated client's month to a professional standard, but you will also document the steps, decisions, and judgments behind your work so an AI system can learn from them. That means designing and testing the workflows the AI follows, not just producing the outputs. If you have hands-on month-end experience, a working knowledge of South African VAT and payroll compliance, and a genuine interest in making accounting work teachable to a machine, this role is a strong fit.
