Location: Earlwood, Sydney

Why This Role
Build on your public practice experience with direct client contact, experienced mentors and support for your CA or CPA studies.

Working alongside Seniors and Managers, you’ll strengthen your accounting and tax skills while contributing to tax planning and business advisory work. A varied portfolio provides opportunities to understand clients’ businesses, their priorities and the advice they need as they grow.

Modern cloud systems, automation and AI support workflow improvements across the practice. Performance centres on quality, client service and delivery, with timesheets used to understand job profitability rather than being heavily policed day-to-day.

The Role
Support a varied business services portfolio, with responsibilities including:

• Preparing financial statements, income tax returns and BAS
• Completing detailed workpapers, reconciliations and journals
• Working across individuals, companies, trusts and business clients
• Communicating with clients to gather information and address queries
• Assisting Seniors and Managers with tax planning and advisory work
• Maintaining accurate files and clear supporting documentation
• Managing allocated tasks, deadlines and progress updates
• Contributing ideas to improve systems, processes and workflow

As your capability develops, there is scope to take on more complex work and greater client responsibility.

What You’ll Bring

• Two to five years of Australian public practice experience in business services
• A degree in Accounting, Business, Commerce or a related discipline
• CA or CPA studies underway
• Sound technical foundations across financial statements, tax returns, BAS and workpapers
• Clear written and verbal communication skills
• Strong attention to detail and an organised approach to deadlines
• A proactive approach to learning and responding to feedback
• Confidence using cloud-based systems
• Interest in technology, automation and AI
• Permanent working rights in Australia

What’s On Offer

• $80,000 to $95,000 + superannuation, with bonus potential
• Two WFH days per week after onboarding
• Paid CA/CPA fees and study leave
• Technical and advisory training with mentoring from experienced Seniors and Managers
• Client exposure across varied businesses and industries
• Opportunities to develop toward Senior Accountant level
• Modern systems including Xero Practice Manager and FYI Docs
• Birthday leave and regular social events
• A focus on quality, client service and outcomes
• Timesheets used for job profitability without heavily policed daily tracking

About Our Client
Our client is an established accounting and advisory practice with longstanding, often multi-generational client relationships.

The team of 24 supports small and medium businesses across a broad range of industries. The portfolio includes clients with turnover of approximately $20 million, providing exposure to businesses at different stages of ownership, growth and succession.

Long-serving colleagues include people who joined as undergraduates and progressed within the practice. That continuity sits alongside investment in technology and an emphasis on practical advice and responsive service.
