Words From Our Clients
At Gold City Offshoring, our commitment to excellence isn’t just a promise; it’s a proven reality. But don’t take our word for it; let our valued clients share their journeys with you.
When we started to engage with Gold City Offshoring (GCO), we wanted to explore what they could offer us by way of support, given the resourcing challenges we are facing within the UK audit market.
They listened carefully to what we had to say and built a bespoke solution around it and now, starting with a team of a few auditors with them have in a short space of time, a team of over twenty in their South Africa offices with plans in place to increase this number.
GCO’s personable approach and focus on integration rather than just adding has reaped huge benefits for us and transformed the way we look at providing support to Crowe’s growing UK business and teams. We look forward to continuing our excellent relationship with them.
National Head of Recruitment, Crowe UK LLP
When we first had discussions with Gold City Offshoring, we were hopeful that they would be able to help us overcome the challenges that we, along with many other audit firms, face in attracting and retaining the best audit talent.
We realized very early on that their approach was vastly different from other solutions in that they listened to what we needed rather than tell us what they thought we needed. We have since built and grown our bespoke team through them and they all feel part of our family here in the UK as opposed to just a resource option.
We have also been to visit GCO’s very smart Johannesburg offices to meet them and our own team (Goldies!) and are delighted to work in partnership with GCO and look forward to continuing to do so.
Audit and Assurance Partner, Menzies LLP
Inspired by the success of our pilot team, we’re on a growth trajectory with GCO’s support and with an expanding offshore team, we’re now equipped to capitalize on market opportunities that would have been much more of a challenge due to local talent constraints. Our collaboration with GCO has fostered a partnership that goes beyond conventional outsourcing and as we look forward, we’re eager to build upon this unique synergy and explore new horizons.
Audit Partner, Gerald Edelman
We have been working with Gold City Offshoring for over 18 months. GCO worked very closely with us in addressing some initial recruitment hurdles and now our team of GCO consultants have settled into the business, integrated well, and are delivering great output.
We recently hosted the team at our offices and found having them with us for a week to be immensely valuable. GCO’s long-term solution is hugely helping alleviate our resource capacity and recruitment challenges and we’re looking forward to working with the team in 2024.

Employee Feedback
What Our Goldies Say
- Chipochashe
I am currently employed at Gold City Offshoring as an Audit Senior. Of all the many things that I appreciate about working at GCO I think the culture is what makes GCO different from other organizations. It’s a culture that embraces flexibility, celebrates diversity of thought and approach, and one that makes it easier to come to work every day. The company truly values its employees, and that enables us as employees to grow and feel passionate about our careers.

It’s been a little over three months since I started an exciting new role as a Management Accountant at GCO. I was heard and trusted from day 1 and am grateful for all the support for my professional development and the upcoming opportunity to work in the international space of finance. I am happy to work for a company that understands my needs and the client’s needs and balances it so well without detriment to the other party. I am proud to say I have found a place of work, where I am not just a number but more than that.
- Vhugala
My experience at GCO has been a rather exciting one. Through GCO I have been given the opportunity to gain exposure in the UK, meet new people, and audit industries that I may not have had the chance to in South Africa. As I am part of the “remote GCO” team I can proudly say that even though I do not physically have encounters with my colleagues from GCO, their help and support are just a message away and just because I am remote it does not exclude me from events such as year-end functions as GCO had taken it on themselves to get me to JHB so I can meet the whole team and enjoy the year-end function
- Yusuf
Not only has GCO provided us with international exposure, but they also encourage continuous learning by providing us with mentors throughout our career to provide guidance, encourage performance feedback and lead us into achieving our goals. GCO also encourages inclusivity whereby they take the time to understand the clients needs as well as our own needs and are always open to new ideas and approaches. I can proudly say that I am looking forward to my future with GCO.
- Dinah
I am an audit senior at GCO. I am contracted to one UK audit firm which allows me to have a great understanding of the firm methodology and general culture. GCO’s hybrid work model allows me to be productive and still be present in my personal life giving me the ever so necessary work-life balance.
- Ncumisa
GCO is incredibly supportive of my remote work arrangement. They provided me with all the resources I needed to be successful. My current engagement has given me an opportunity to learn and grow in the different aspects of corporate finance. The opportunity to travel to the UK was invaluable for my career. It allowed me to build relationships with my colleagues and gain a deeper understanding of the client’s culture.
- Rendani
GCO has provided me with the opportunity to work with top-tier international accounting firms and gain international experience in the comfort of my local residence. No need to worry about relocating and leaving behind the amazing Southern Africa’s weather, family, and friends. The option to go to the office (GCO’s SA Office) and experience the old traditional “office day” is a cherry on top and I get interact with co-workers. The massive support from GCO team ranging from ensuring you have work-life balance, socials and mentoring makes work even easier and fun.
