Senior Associate Audit South Africa

Bring your audit expertise to a team where connection and craftsmanship thrive.

We are looking for a dedicated and skilled Senior Associate to strengthen our growing audit team in Stellenbosch. In this role, you will contribute to high-quality audit delivery for (primarily) Dutch clients and play an important part in maintaining a cohesive, collaborative team environment across South Africa and the Netherlands.

At Visser & Visser, teamwork, connection and professionalism go hand in hand. As Senior Associate, you help ensure that our people remain engaged, informed and aligned - while delivering consistent and accurate audit work.

As Senior Associate Audit, you take ownership of complex audit areas, support the planning and coordination of engagements and provide guidance to less experienced team members. You communicate effectively with colleagues in both Stellenbosch and the Netherlands and contribute to a positive and structured team dynamic.

• Execute audit procedures independently on significant and complex areas.
• Contribute to risk assessments and identify relevant findings.
• Ensure all documentation is processed accurately and in line with internal and regulatory standards.
• Support a complete and high-quality audit file.
• Provide coaching and day-to-day support to (Junior) Associates.
• Encourage knowledge sharing and contribute to a constructive team environment.
• Help maintain a culture of professionalism, open communication and mutual support.

• Communicate clearly with colleagues regarding progress, issues and deliverables.
• Collaborate closely with Dutch team members to ensure alignment and consistent audit quality.
• Participate in client meetings and translate outcomes into actionable tasks.

You are technically capable, organised and value teamwork. You take pride in delivering thorough and reliable work and help create a professional and supportive team environment.

• 6+ years of relevant audit experience.
• Strong technical knowledge of audit processes and ability to handle complex areas.
• Excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset.
• Ability to work independently while contributing to team cohesion.

Experience with Dutch GAAP or Dutch auditing standards is an advantage but not required.

You will join a committed and supportive team in Stellenbosch, working closely with an experienced Dutch audit practice. We provide a professional environment with opportunities for development and international collaboration.

• A structured and collaborative team culture.
• Hybrid working options and flexibility where possible.
• Opportunities to expand your technical knowledge, including Dutch audit methodologies.
• A motivated and growing local team connected to a strong international network.

At Visser & Visser, we believe that our people are at the heart of everything we do. Your knowledge, experience and motivation are highly valued, and we are confident that you will make a meaningful contribution to both our South African and Dutch teams. We are committed to supporting your professional growth and ensuring that you feel part of an ambitious, collaborative, and inspiring working environment - where we can achieve great things together.
