Intermediate | Senior Accountant

We're looking for an Intermediate | Senior Accountant with 3+ years' Australian public practice experience to join our team.

You’ve done the groundwork. You know your way around a set of financials. You’ve survived enough tax seasons to know what’s what and now you’re ready for more. More client exposure. More interesting work. More responsibility. More understanding of why the numbers matter — and less feeling like you’re just getting jobs out the door.

Key responsibilities

Prepare financial statements and tax returns across companies, trusts, partnerships and individuals

Provide advice and assistance regarding wealth creation outside of business operations, including self-managed super funds (SMSFs) and other investment structures

Get involved in tax planning, management reporting and advisory work

Work directly with clients — not just through layers of management

Liaise with the ATO and help clients navigate issues as they arise

Work alongside Managers and Directors on more complex matters

Manage client relationships and become a trusted point of contact

Help mentor and support graduates and junior accountants

About you

You’re good with numbers, but you’re even better with people.

You build strong relationships, communicate confidently and genuinely enjoy helping clients solve problems. You're curious, proactive and keen to keep developing your skills. You're humble enough to know there's always more to learn but motivated enough to keep pushing yourself forward. Technically, you'll have:

3+ years' experience in Australian public practice

An Accounting, Commerce or related degree

CA/CPA completed or well underway

Solid experience preparing financial statements and income tax returns

Experience across companies, trusts, partnerships and individuals

Strong communication and client relationship skills

Experience with Xero and cloud-based accounting systems

The ability to manage deadlines and take ownership of your work
