• Use tools like Xero, Dext, and Reach Reporting to improve workflows

• Help with finance‑related forms and compliance submissions
• Communicate with clients about invoice queries or updates

• Remote-First & Flexible: After onboarding and probation, you can work from anywhere (ideally within 1 hour of Somerset West). We generally work 8–5, but we trust you to manage your time. It’s about impact, not just hours.
• Supportive, High‑Performing Team: You’ll be part of a team that’s excellent at what they do—and always ready to help and support one another.
• Growth & Learning: As we grow, so will you. Expect real responsibility, ongoing learning, and the opportunity to shape your role.

After the COVID‑19 pandemic, we saw a surge in international companies looking to build teams in South Africa. With deep experience in labour law, HR, accounting, and payroll, we understood both the opportunity and the challenges—and decided to build something better. HireJustNow is a proudly South African Employer of Record (EOR) company that helps global businesses tap into South Africa’s rich talent pool, without the complexity of setting up a local entity. We exist to empower global companies to hire South African talent simply, legally, and effectively.

• Human‑Centric: People come first. We build warm, trusted relationships and treat others with care and respect.
• Proudly South African: We honour our roots and showcase the talent, diversity, and resilience of South Africa in everything we do.
• Embrace the Journey: We stay grounded, celebrate milestones, and grow through every challenge—together.
• Think Win‑Win: We seek shared success by listening well, collaborating openly, and creating value for everyone involved.
• Simplicity & Focus: We cut through the noise, keep things clear, and focus on what matters most.

We imagine a future where 100,000 South Africans work for global companies while living locally, and are on a mission to ensure South Africa becomes the world’s #1 offshore destination for building trusted, high‑performing teams.

We’re on an exciting journey and we’re looking for the right people to join us. If you’re excited about this vision and can see yourself flourishing in this role—Apply now.
