The firm has the technical depth of a larger practice but runs with a leaner, more personal structure, so seniors are in the room for client conversations and have real input into how matters are handled. The Partners are down to earth, accessible and happy to back people who show initiative. A pipeline of new client work has created this role for an accountant who is ready to carry more responsibility and be recognised for it.

  • Regular access to Partners on technical and client matters
  • Modern cloud systems that cut down repetitive admin
  • Team lunches, end of year celebrations and a social culture that is easy to fit into

THE ROLE:

  • Working closely with a Partner, you will manage your own client list from year end through to ongoing advice, with a growing share of your time spent on review and planning.
  • Prepare and review financial statements and tax returns for companies, trusts, partnerships and individuals.
  • Handle tax planning conversations and technical queries with clients directly.
  • Review work from Intermediates and Graduates and give clear, constructive feedback.
  • Manage your own lodgement calendar and keep deliverables on schedule.
  • Deal with the ATO on client matters as they arise.
  • Spot advisory opportunities and bring them to the Partners.

THE INDIVIDUAL:

  • CA or CPA qualified, or close to completing.
  • Solid experience as a Senior Accountant in Australian public practice.
