You've done the numbers. Now make your mark.
If you're an experienced accountant who's ready for more ownership, more client involvement and a genuine pathway into leadership, this could be the career move you've been waiting for.
Sawyer Sourcing is partnering with an established and growing Albury public accounting practice with three partners to find an experienced Senior Accountant who wants to become an important part of the firm's future.
This isn't a role where you'll simply sit behind the scenes processing files.
You'll work directly with clients, take ownership of a diverse portfolio, review and support the work of other accountants and work closely with the Partners to help deliver great outcomes for clients and the practice.
And for someone with the right capability and long-term fit, there is genuine scope for the role to continue developing into senior leadership and potentially partnership in the future.
What you'll be doing
You'll take responsibility for a portfolio of clients across taxation, accounting, compliance and advisory work, while becoming a trusted point of contact for those clients.
You'll also
- Prepare and review financial statements, tax returns, activity statements and associated work
- Manage client workflow from commencement through to completion and billing
- Review work prepared by junior and intermediate accountants
- Build strong, long-term relationships with clients
- Mentor, coach and support developing accountants
- Work closely with the Partners on workflow, client matters and practice priorities
- Identify opportunities to provide additional advice and value to clients
- Help improve the way work flows through the practice
As your experience within the firm develops, so too will the opportunity to take greater responsibility for clients, people and leadership. Equity partnership is also on the table.
Who we're looking for
You'll already have strong public practice accounting experience and be comfortable managing complex taxation and accounting work.
Importantly, we're looking for more than technical ability.
You'll be someone who enjoys dealing with clients, takes ownership of their work and is comfortable helping less experienced accountants develop.
You'll bring
- CA or CPA qualification
- Strong Australian taxation and accounting knowledge
- Experience within public practice
- The ability to manage your own workload and client portfolio
- Experience reviewing the work of other accountants
- Strong client relationship and communication skills
- A commercial approach to workflow, WIP and deadlines
- An interest in mentoring and developing others
You don't necessarily need to have held a formal management title.
If you're a strong Senior Accountant who's already becoming the person others turn to for advice and you're ready for the next step, we'd like to hear from you.
Why consider it?
Because your next move should take you somewhere.
This is an opportunity to join a well-established Albury practice at an important stage in its development and have a genuine influence on what comes next.
You'll have
- Direct access to and support from the Partners
- Genuine ownership of client relationships
- Increasing leadership responsibility
- The opportunity to mentor and develop other accountants
- A clear pathway for professional and career development
- Potential future partnership opportunity for the right person
- The possibility of some hybrid flexibility for the right candidate
Most importantly, this is a role where you can build a long-term career rather than simply take another accounting job.
And why Albury?
If you're already in Albury-Wodonga, you probably don't need convincing, but if you're considering coming home to the region or wondering whether it's finally time to leave the metropolitan commute behind, Albury Wodonga offers an increasingly attractive combination of professional opportunity and lifestyle.
Very short commutes.
Fishing on the Murray River or Hume Weir.
Chilling at local wineries, golfing and dining all on your doorstep.
Skiing, mountain biking or hiking the Victorian High Country.
Great education options and a thriving regional business community where you can actually get to know the people you're advising.
Ready for more?
If you've reached the point where you want to do more than prepare and review client work and you're ready to build client relationships, develop people and have a greater say in the future of a practice – we'd like to talk.
