Executive Assistant

Immediate Start Available

Join a Growing Canberra Accounting & Business Advisory Firm

Are you an organised, proactive professional who enjoys being the person who keeps everything running smoothly?

SPA Accounting & Advisory is a well-established accounting and business advisory firm with a strong presence in the Canberra market. As our business continues to grow, we’re looking for an enthusiastic and capable Executive Assistant to join our team and play an important role in supporting our Principals, clients and wider team.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who thrives in a professional environment, enjoys variety, and wants to make a genuine contribution to a growing business.

Why Join SPA Accounting & Advisory?

At SPA Accounting & Advisory, we believe a great workplace is built around great people. You’ll join a supportive, collaborative and inclusive team where your contribution is valued and there’s plenty of opportunity to learn and grow.

What you can expect:

• 🤝 A friendly and supportive team with hands-on training and guidance

• 🌱 Genuine opportunities for career progression and professional development

• ⚖️ A healthy work/life balance, with regular social and community-focused activities

• 🚀 The opportunity to help shape and improve processes as our business continues to grow

• 🏢 Modern offices with fantastic views in the heart of the Barton business hub

• ☕ Easy access to great cafés, coffee and everything Barton has to offer

About the Role

Working alongside our existing administration team of four and our wider team of around 30 staff, you’ll provide high-level administrative and organisational support to two Principals, while also helping ensure the smooth day-to-day operation of the office.

No two days will necessarily be the same. You’ll be involved in everything from managing calendars and meetings to coordinating client relationships, handling correspondence and helping identify smarter, more efficient ways of doing things.

We’re looking for someone who is proactive, calm under pressure, highly organised and naturally solutions-focused — someone who sees what needs to be done and makes it happen.

What You’ll Bring

You’ll ideally have:

• Previous experience in an accounting, professional services or similar environment; familiarity with Practice Management systems will be highly regarded

• A qualification, or current studies, in business administration or a related field is desirable

• A proactive and confident approach to supporting two Principals and managing competing priorities

• Experience coordinating calendars, meetings, client relationships and correspondence, including ATO correspondence

• Adaptability to quickly learn new systems and technology

• An interest in improving processes and finding ways to make the business run more efficiently

• Excellent time management and prioritisation skills

• Exceptional attention to detail and a high level of accuracy

• Strong verbal, written and interpersonal communication skills

• Proficiency across the Microsoft Office Suite

More Than Just Administration

This role is ideal for someone who wants to be more than just an EA.

You’ll have the opportunity to become a trusted part of the business, build strong relationships with colleagues and clients, take ownership of your work and contribute ideas that make a real difference.

If you’re someone who enjoys variety, takes pride in doing things well and is excited by the opportunity to grow alongside a successful professional services firm, we’d love to hear from you.
