Here’s how Colenbrander has helped to shape the careers of South Africa’s next generation of accounting professionals.
Vac work at Colenbrander helped develop a clear understanding of what it would be like working one day in practice while I was studying. Not only did this make me excited about what the future holds when I start working, but it also gave me practical experience of the theory covered in studies.
Christiaan Smith – SAICA Trainee Accountant
I started doing vac work at Colenbrander during 2018. At the time I studied at Univeristy of Pretoria and doing vac work at the same time in between the theory really helped me bring the pieces together to fully understand my degree. I am now working full time at Colenbrander, and having done vac work here before, helped with the transition into the working environment, and settling into the way things work at the firm. I have no regrets about doing vac work instead of having a holiday, there have only been benefits from it.
Megan Rencken – SAICA Trainee Accountant
I’m fortunate to be a part of the training and development program at Colenbrander. Colenbrander nurtures professionals and helps them progress on their individual career path rather than optimizing an individual’s skill set for a particular role. I feel better equipped to handle a variety of tasks.

I have been at Colenbrander for just under two years and in my time here I have been exposed to the accounting and auditing fraternity in its various forms and I have a solid work family in which I am supported along the way.
