About the role

We're looking for a Tax Practitioner to handle the full tax compliance cycle for a simulated portfolio of small, owner-managed companies, their directors and shareholders, sole proprietors, and family trusts, from registrations and provisional tax through to annual returns, SARS correspondence, and disputes. Your work becomes the training data and workflow designs that a cutting-edge AI tax 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 tax.

This is not a traditional tax role. Yes, you will be running each simulated client's full tax year to a professional standard. But you will also be documenting the steps, decisions, and judgments behind your work, not just the outputs, and helping design and test the AI workflows that follow your methodology. If you have hands-on SARS eFiling experience across at least two full filing seasons, understand the South African tax compliance cycle end to end, and have a genuine interest in breaking tax work into clear, teachable steps for AI to follow, this role is a strong fit.
