Trainee Accounting Opportunities
Once Trainee accountants are registered with SAICA & IRBA, their training program can be completed within 3 to 5 years. Auditing is the elective at our firm, and candidates should be studying or working towards a BCom Degree from a SA university that is accredited by SAICA & IRBA. As a smaller firm, trainees are exposed to more opportunities and constantly develop and improve general skills including an entrepreneurial spirit. Trainees are encouraged to be deadline driven and assist clients with a personal touch. Once the training contract is completed successfully, the outcome of being a trainee accountant will result in qualifying as an AGA (SA) or ultimately CA (SA).
Comments from Our Past Trainees
“If you are looking for an accounting firm that will provide you with more than just accounting training, then S. Haynes and Associates Inc. is the place to perform your articles.
I started my articles at S. Haynes in 2017 and since then I have received nothing but support from Mr. Haynes and my fellow colleagues with regards to my studies and career choices.
I have experienced working on a wide variety of industries and business types while at S. Haynes, which has made me a better all-round accountant. At S. Haynes you are not only trained to improve your technical skills but also your personal and social skills.
All of this was possible by having one-on-one training with Mr. Haynes himself, as he has an open-door policy for all his staff which allowed me to tap into the years of experience that he possesses.
I am glad that I completed my articles at S. Haynes.”
“My 3 year training contract at S. Haynes and Associates Inc. was highly interesting, fruitful, and an overall wonderful learning experience.
At the start of my contract, I worked under and reported directly to a senior article clerk who was extremely helpful; he presented me with new tasks every 2–3 days, followed up with my ongoing activities, and was always available for explanations.
With reference to the activities carried out, I was involved in all aspects of the profession: processing bank accounts all the way through to the final draft of annual financial statements, tax calculations and the preparation of various returns, and all phases of the audit process.
As a result, the work environment was extremely stimulating.
One of my fears (as I’m sure most new article clerks possess) was the environment that existed outside of the many work obligations and responsibilities: would I fit in, will I make friends, and most importantly will I be happy?
I can gladly confirm that I have come out of my traineeship with life-long friends, and an abundance of very fond and amusing memories.
Each day brought different circumstances and I had the opportunity to make decisions on my own, and learn from both my successes and failures.
The traineeship was a worthwhile experience and I feel that it has prepared me well for my professional career.”
“S. Haynes CA SA was truly the foundation to my accounting career.
From still being in school I approached Mr Haynes as to what my options were to follow a career in accounting. He gladly showed me the different paths in achieving this.
I started in 2007, straight after Matric. I immediately felt welcomed by the team and Mr. Haynes himself.
It was a long and tough few years with studies, but Mr. Haynes always found a way to push an individual to achieve.
The great opportunity of working in a small firm allowed me to work on all different aspects of accounting and not just a clerk that pushes paper. He molded me into the accountant I am today. This I am truly thankful for.
I unfortunately did not proceed to the end result of becoming a CA. However, I received more than enough training to get to that goal.
I achieved my Bachelors degree in accounting sciences through the University of South Africa, and I completed my 5-year articles through Mr. Haynes.
I currently am a senior accountant at a Group that owns 72 KFC stores across Africa.”
