About This Very Family Friendly Firm

Having been established in the Newcastle area for a number of years, this firm is looking to expand on what they can deliver to their broad client base. Having assessed their current and future needs, they feel the time is right to “bring on board” a mature and friendly accountant to join their small team.

Identifying the importance of investing in and supporting their “people”, this firm also feels it is important to provide ongoing training and development. With experienced and approachable Managers coupled with patient and motivated partners, this firm achieves this with ease.

I have placed a number of staff with this firm over the years as they have grown. The feedback is the workplace environment is extremely supportive, the parking is handy as the firm is not in the CBD and also the Partners are generally nice people to work with as they are always clear on what their expectations are.

Their Expectations of the Role

Along with the requirements of a normal business services role in a small firm, you will also need to be flexible at times due to the simple size of the organisation. This might mean meeting a few clients in person, providing assistance to others within the office or simply picking up the phone when it rings.

Technology wise, the firm is fairly up to date. They are using XPM internally whilst most are their client base have moved across to Xero.

One of the key things they do need is someone that is comfortable communicating with clients as this will essentially take pressure of the Managers and Partners.

This position may be ideal for someone seeking more flexibility or simply looking to reduce the pressures of your current role. The one thing that can be assured is that you would be joining a close-knit mature team.
