With South Africa an increasingly bigger player in the finance sector, it stands to reason that most people looking for accounting and finance jobs are focusing on Cape Town and Johannesburg. Banking jobs in Cape Town offer the best of both worlds; you get your professional finance job but set against the stunning backdrop that the Western Cape has to offer, meaning you can take full advantage of your free time as well.
Accounting jobs, as well as internal audit jobs in both Cape Town and Johannesburg have opened up recently and there are many opportunities in these sectors. Banking and insurance jobs are seeing the same levels of growth and whether you prefer the coastal Cape Town or the larger, more modern Johannesburg, this could be an excellent time to see what accounting and banking jobs are currently available.
The availability of Insurance jobs in Johannesburg, as well as opportunities to find internal audit jobs there, mean that it is an increasingly desirable place in South Africa to live and work. Known by many primarily for its proximity to the famous Kruger, working in Johannesburg gives you the opportunity to explore not only all that this metropolitan city has to offer, but also the freedom to experience its fascinating surroundings.
Most investment banking jobs in South Africa tend to be filled with people who have professional qualifications like CPA, CIMA, CGMA, CA, CA(SA) or other qualifications recognised by SAICA. Jobs in investment banking also regularly require people with BComm, B.Comm, MBA or CFA for jobs. Compliance jobs and Legal jobs will require people to hold LLB or LLM and also have passed relevant board examinations.
With South Africa's recognised role in BRICS it stands to reason that finance jobs will become more important than they already are with jobs for Chartered Accountants, also called CA(SA), CA or SAICA CA's, commanding ever higher salaries employers are also looking to fill accounting jobs with CPA, CIMA or CGMA qualified job seekers. However South Africa still pays some of the highest premium for Investment banking jobs where job seekers hold CFA or MBA. Most of the CFA jobs and MBA jobs are either located in Johannesburg the economic hub of South Africa or Cape Town the second most populous city in South Africa. With many more people returning back to South Africa because of the availability of finance jobs in South Africa it stands to reason that competition for top accounting and insurance jobs has increased so a BComm or B.Comm is now considered a basic requirement for accounting jobs and insurance jobs.
