Great accountants can be anyplace. Yours are in South Africa.

Teams that already work your hours

CoSauce, the company behind Anyplace, has run South African teams on AU and NZ business hours for years, for clients including 2degrees, Certn, RACQ and SuperCare. The accounting profession in South Africa is English-first, SAICA and SAIPA regulated, and produces CA(SA) and big-4 trained candidates at a fraction of AU/NZ salary costs.

  • English-first, AU/NZ-style reporting and communication
  • SAICA and SAIPA-regulated qualifications, so credentials are checkable
  • Rostered on your business hours, not adjusted after the fact
  • Meaningfully lower cost without going through a BPO seat model

Questions

Frequently asked

With Direct Hire, they join your payroll directly. With Managed Hire, we employ them as their legal employer and you pay us a flat monthly fee.

Most roles are shortlisted within 7 days and placed within 14 to 21 days of the brief, depending on seniority.

Every placement carries a 6-month replacement guarantee. If the fit is wrong, we find a replacement at no extra cost.

Yes. South Africa sits 8 to 9 hours behind AU/NZ time, and our teams already roster around that gap to cover your business hours from the first shift.

Every candidate goes through skills screening, reference checks, credential verification against SAICA or SAIPA where relevant, and a paid work sample before they reach your shortlist.

The refundable deposit covers the search itself and is credited back against your placement fee once you hire.
