About The Company

Our client is a Sydney based accounting practice delivering business services and taxation to private businesses, family groups and high net worth clients. Their work sits well beyond compliance: complex groups, related-party structures and the kind of technical calls that need genuine commercial judgment rather than a template.

This is a practice where senior accountants are trusted to run their own client matters through to completion. You will work alongside the partners, supported by junior staff and offshore delivery, in a team that values clean files, researched recommendations and advice clients can actually act on.

• Preparing and reviewing financial statements and tax returns for companies, trusts, partnerships and individuals
• Managing client relationships, tax planning and lodgement deadlines, delivering complete files for partner review
• Resolving technical issues across income tax, GST, FBT, Division 7A, trust distributions and CGT
• Supporting ATO and state revenue audits with evidence gathering, reconciliations and written responses
• Monitoring budgets and work in progress, supporting billing and flagging work worth separately scoping
• Contributing to advisory engagements including structuring, business sales and purchases and due diligence

About You

The successful candidate will have:

• CA or CPA qualification, with five or more years of Australian public practice experience behind you
• Strong practical knowledge of income tax, small business concessions, GST, BAS, IAS, PAYG and FBT
• Confidence with Division 7A, trust distributions, section 100A, franking accounts, CGT concessions and rollovers
• Working knowledge of superannuation guarantee, payroll compliance, state payroll tax, grouping and land tax
• Proven ability to work independently, review others' work and oversee offshore delivery without losing quality
• Experience with ATO or state revenue reviews, and the confidence to explain findings and recommend a course of action
• Strong Xero, MYOB and Excel skills, with a sharp commercial eye on job profitability, scope and deadlines
