This isn't a typical senior accountant job. You won't just be another name in the org chart. You'll help build the firm.
Inspired Accounting is a young, growing practice in Adelaide's Eastern suburbs. Our clients are great to work with: established business owners in trades and services, transport and construction, farming families, and SMEs going through a growth phase. We run a fully cloud-based, modern tech stack. Our focus is advice that works in the real world, not just ticking boxes at year end.
We're looking for an experienced accountant to take ownership of a portfolio of SME groups across tax, compliance and CFO-style advisory work. You'll also have a real say in how the firm operates. We'll set the title to match your experience, from Supervisor through to Manager.
Why this role is different
- Real impact: you'll have a voice in decisions about how we run, including our systems, processes, pricing, the client experience and who we hire next.
- A career path built around you: you might want to become a technical tax specialist, grow an advisory portfolio, lead a team or work towards ownership. We'll support you in building the path that suits you.
- Flexibility: Full time or part time, Hybrid or in our office.
- Great clients: loyal, interesting businesses that value your advice and that you'll get to know well.
- Modern tech: cloud-based from end to end, with tools that remove the grunt work so you can focus on the thinking.
- A modern office: a newly fitted-out space in Kensington Park in the Eastern suburbs, easy to get to with parking nearby, plus hybrid working.
What you'll do
- Look after a portfolio of growing business groups, from preparing the work through to reviewing it and meeting the client.
- Handle year-end tax planning, Division 7A, trust distributions and structuring advice.
- Build budgets, cash-flow forecasts and management reports, and run regular meetings with business owners.
- Review and coach & mentor a small team, and help shape how we work.
What you'll bring
- CA or CPA qualification (or close to finishing).
- 4+ years in Australian public practice working with SME groups.
- Strong tax knowledge and confidence reviewing complex files.
- Experience using Xero and cloud practice tools.
- A practical, plain-English way of explaining numbers to clients.
What you'll get
- Above market Remuneration.
- Hybrid working and flexible hours that fit around your life.
- A seat at the table, working directly with the Director on the firm's direction.
- Support to build your own career path, including CPD and CA/CPA support.
- A modern Eastern suburbs office and a modern tech stack.
- Clients you'll get to know, and the chance to see what your advice achieves.
Informed strategies for real growth. That's Inspired.
