Careers at Ambition Partners Advisory

Careers for experienced public sector finance professionals

We are an advisory firm that values competence and experience. If you have worked hands-on with GRAP, the MFMA or the PFMA and would like to apply that experience to public sector engagements, we would be glad to hear from you.

Who we are

Ambition Partners Advisory is an advisory firm led by Chartered Accountants (SA). We work with municipalities, municipal entities, government departments and public entities across South Africa on financial reporting, fixed asset registers, mSCOA, audit readiness and technical accounting under GRAP, the MFMA and the PFMA.

Our clients rely on us for work that is reviewed by auditors and reported to councils, so we look for people who have already done it: professionals who can take ownership of an engagement, stand behind a working paper and explain their judgement to a CFO or an auditor. Our team is built on competent, experienced professionals, and we give each of them the responsibility and support to do their best work.

Who we are looking for

We are building a pool of experienced consultants for current and upcoming engagements. The disciplines we need most are:

  • CA

    Chartered Accountants (SA)

    To lead AFS preparation and review, technical accounting and audit readiness engagements, and to review the work of the wider team.

  • AGA

    AGA(SA) and BCom Accounting with articles

    Experienced accountants who can prepare reconciliations, working papers and disclosure notes to a standard that holds up under audit.

  • CE

    Civil Engineers

    For infrastructure asset registers and condition assessments on municipal and public sector assets.

  • EE

    Electrical Engineers

    For electrical network and plant assets, and the technical evidence that asset registers depend on.

  • ACT

    Actuaries

    For employee benefit valuations and related provisions in the public sector.

  • PS

    Public sector finance and audit specialists

    Former auditors, internal auditors and municipal or departmental finance officials whose experience of GRAP, the MFMA or the PFMA is hands-on. If your profession is not listed above, apply and tell us about it.

How you can work with us

Flexible arrangements

We work with people full time, part time, on fixed-term contracts and for defined projects such as an AFS season or an asset verification. Some of the work can be done remotely, with time on site at clients where the engagement needs it.

What we value

  • Hands-on experience under GRAP, the MFMA or the PFMA
  • Registration with a recognised professional body
  • Working papers that another professional can follow and re-perform
  • Integrity, discretion and respect for clients' officials
  • A willingness to transfer skills, not only deliver work
