Job Advert Summary

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 spans Audit, Advisory, and Tax, and we believe technical excellence should always be paired with commercial thinking.

We are building a firm that rewards initiative and capability. That shapes the kind of trainees we look for.

Our Culture

Your articles should feel like three years of passive observation.

Our trainees work closely with managers, directors, and partners. You will be expected to engage, think critically, and contribute. Early responsibility is not something you earn in year three. 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.

SAICA Articles at Moore Johannesburg

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.

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.

If you are looking for broad exposure, accelerated development, and the opportunity to grow beyond the minimum standard, you will likely thrive here.

Minimum Requirements • 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.
