Accountants On Call - Overview

Profit with the professionals to unlock the power of people in the world of work.

Accountants On Call was founded in 1989 by Graham Burnside, one of South Africa’s proven successes in establishing financial recruitment consultancies.

Since completing articles at Ernst & Whinney (Now Ernst & Young) in 1980, Graham has been involved in the financial recruitment sector – perfecting the secret recipe to what makes a market leader in our challenging industry. Graham still sits at the helm, guiding us with his vision and expertise.

Accountants On Call has grown exponentially over the past 20 years and is a leading player in the industry. We have 3 fully fledged service operations: a permanent recruitment team, a temporary staffing business and our full service operation which is aimed at providing a one stop comprehensive solution.

Accountants On Call is a division of the JSE listed Kelly Group with its Head Office in Sandton. We have a national branch network as well as international recruiting expertise and capability.
