About our client

Our client is all about taking the stress out of bookkeeping & regulatory accounting so business owners can focus on what they love most — working on their business instead of being stuck in the weeds.

  • Make an impact to our client’s customers – optimising their accounting and financial operations
  • Supportive, collaborative environment where you can grow
  • Boutique, agile and nimble operation where you can achieve quick successes free of bureaucracy and barriers

They work with clients both locally and across the country, offering a complete range of bookkeeping solutions that keep the numbers in check and the to-do list shorter.

The team culture is warm, collaborative, and built around enjoying where you work just as much as the work you do. There’s a mix of office buzz and the flexibility of hybrid options for those who like a little variety in their week.

Why this Opportunity?

Still need convincing? How about:

  • Amazing culture and regular team bonding/building events
  • Accessible leadership – you can learn from one of the best in the business and won’t need to move mountains to get that valuable one on one mentoring time with them.
  • Supportive of your ongoing professional development – internal and external training sessions, opportunity for local networking and industry event attendance to keep you connected and ahead of industry changes.
  • High level trust, respectful and flexible workplace – we’ve mentioned the amazing office views you’ll be treated to, but you can also take advantage of hybrid, part-time, or full-time arrangements that suit all parties.
  • Make an impact – Lead, mentor, and innovate while helping clients improve systems for accuracy, efficiency, and better decision-making

About You!

The successful candidate will have:

  • Tertiary Qualifications in Accounting (B.Com, B.Bus with an Accounting Major) or similar
  • A minimum of 3 years’ experience in a public practice accounting firm
  • Worked through two financial years tax seasons within Australia and be highly knowledgeable around the ITAA
  • Embrace technology, change and be influential in adoption and implementation of new technologies
  • Highly developed communication skills – written, verbal, contributing and leading meetings
  • Ability to self-manage work in progress, prioritise the right activities and maintain a high level of accuracy and care while doing so
  • Possess high attention to detail and take pride in producing accurate, quality work and be a natural problem solver

What you’ll be doing

While not an exhaustive list, some of the things you’ll find yourself doing in a regular working week would include:

  • Working collaboratively with the team
  • Preparing statutory obligations — IAS, BAS, and STP finalisation
  • Processing payroll and superannuation
  • Educating, training and supporting clients, recommending solutions (such as software) to optimise their existing processes
  • Contributing to continuous improvement – both internally and externally with clients
  • Developing insight-based reporting to help people from non-accounting/finance backgrounds understand the ‘why’
  • Leading client meetings with clear updates, performance insights, and proactive advice
  • Preparing and lodging Payroll Tax and Workers Compensation obligations.
  • Completing balance sheet reconciliations.
  • Setting up amortisation schedules.
  • Liaising with the ATO and other regulatory bodies.
  • Working confidently across Xero, MYOB, and other accounting platforms.

In short, you’ll be helping our clients ensure the statutory/regulatory requirements are met and that they’re not ‘out of bounds’ in terms of their responsibilities to the ATO, ASIC, Workers Compensation, and so on.
