Culture Our culture is characterised by a strong desire for innovation and problem solving with a flair for entrepreneurship. It\u2019s an inspiring ethos that forms the heartbeat of our business and keeps us firmly on track. But our hard-working attitude aside, we make sure it\u2019s only the work we take seriously - never ourselves. Values Our values form the DNA of our company culture. They underpin our every action and interaction - from the way we answer the phone to the way we work together as a team. Because they\u2019re so important, we\u2019ve created an easy-to-remember acronym: RUBICS. History Risk Benefit Solutions, better known as RBS, was founded by a small but ambitious group of entrepreneurs in 1998. A year later, after making its first acquisition, the staff complement numbered 26. Today, RBS is now a leading industry name and employs over 130 people. success can only be achieved through the success of our clients Since 1998, RBS has evolved into one of the largest fully fledged independent financial services advisory firms in Southern Africa, operating nationally and into Africa. Through a combination of targeted strategic acquisitions and a focus on driving organic growth, RBS has grown its market position by understanding that its success can only be achieved through the success of its clients. In 2011 RBS and Katz Breskal Insurance Brokers concluded a merger - and the newly formed company was re-branded RBS Katz Breskal. It was a synchronous move in which two like-minded companies understood the combined value of the business, the importance of unlocking embedded value and the economies of scale. Stan Katz and David Breskal, the founding members of Katz Breskal, have since retired and in 2014 the company reverted to the more familiar - and shorter - RBS. While the profile of RBS has changed significantly over the years, its core principles remain the same: to place a strong emphasis on service excellence and a desire to build and maintain the strongest relationships with its clients. Something RBS achieves by delivering innovative solutions to meet their client\u2019s every need. 1st Floor Soho on Strand 128 Strand Street Cape Town 8001","_company_twitter":"","_company_video":"","_filled":0,"_featured":0,"_remote_position":0,"_job_salary":"","_job_salary_currency":"","_job_salary_unit":""},"job_listing_region":[15],"job-types":[12],"class_list":{"0":"post-33474","1":"job_listing","2":"type-job_listing","3":"status-publish","4":"hentry","5":"job_listing_region-western-cape","7":"job-type-full-time"},"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jobs.dataaxisnode.com\/southafrica\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/job-listings\/33474","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jobs.dataaxisnode.com\/southafrica\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/job-listings"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jobs.dataaxisnode.com\/southafrica\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/job_listing"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jobs.dataaxisnode.com\/southafrica\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jobs.dataaxisnode.com\/southafrica\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33474"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"job_listing_region","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jobs.dataaxisnode.com\/southafrica\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/job_listing_region?post=33474"},{"taxonomy":"job_listing_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jobs.dataaxisnode.com\/southafrica\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/job-types?post=33474"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
