About Finance & Accounting work in Eastern Cape

South Africa has a deep finance pipeline running from articles clerk through to CFO. The recognised route is a commerce degree followed by SAICA, SAIPA or CIMA articles, but bookkeeping and creditors or debtors roles are realistically reachable with a diploma and working knowledge of Sage, Pastel or Xero.

The Eastern Cape job market divides between the automotive cluster around Gqeberha and Uitenhage, manufacturing in Buffalo City, and a business process outsourcing sector that has grown quickly in Gqeberha. Government, education and health are the other large employers here.
