Trade Business Accountants work virtually with trade and construction businesses Australia wide to provide tax, bookkeeping, and business coaching all under one roof, helping clients to proactively grow their business and make more profit - and we’re looking for another Superstar Accountant Bookkeeper to join us on this mission!

Note: Contractors are welcome to apply.

Here's why working with Trade Business Accountants will be the best career move you ever make:

• Attractive pay based on skills and experience ($80k - $100k).
• 30 – 40 hours p/week (we’re happy to accommodate your desired hours).
• Enjoy the comfort and convenience of working from your own home, as we are a 100% remote team.
• Do work around your own personal schedule with our flexible work arrangements (perfect for appointments, family / children commitments etc.).
• Work with 10-15 trade and construction businesses to provide more personalised, high quality, value adding advice and support (not just transactional accounting/bookkeeping where you can’t make a real difference!).
• We'll pay for any tech, training and equipment you need to excel in your role - we're big on development! If there is a course, conference, or certification that can support your continued learning and provide value to the firm, we’re happy to cover it!

• Thrive in a flat, collaborative team structure where every voice is valued and heard - you'll never feel like just another cog in a large machine! (we're far from big corporate).
• Absolutely zero micromanagement - we like to hire great people who excel in their role and get out of their way!
• Have complete ownership of your bookkeeping role with end to end client management with support from the rest of the team whenever necessary.
• Have more time to help your clients (no more frustrating time restrictions) - we care about achieving great outcomes for our clients.
• We're very accommodating with appointments, family commitments, time off etc. - we LOVE our work but balance is also important. Working with a smaller client base allows us all to do a great job without sacrificing other important parts of life.
• Grow with the company. TBA has continued to grow year on year and the journey so far has been nothing short of exciting.
• Minimal weekly meetings (typically 1 standard weekly team meeting - the rest of the week is flexible appointments with clients / team members where necessary).

• Meetings with the rest of the TBA team to update and optimise our service for clients.
• Analyse and improve the efficiency / state of Xero accounts.
• Provide proactive advice and value around compliance, numbers, and accounts i.e. be helpful and supportive.
