Qualified Accountant (3-5 Years' Experience)
Melbourne-Based | Global Firm |
Japan Career Pathway Opportunity
Our client, a dynamic and growing global accounting firm, is seeking a qualified Accountant with 3-5 years' experience to join their Melbourne office while also supporting their Japanese office and client base.
This is a unique opportunity for a native Japanese-speaking professional who is looking to build international experience in Melbourne with the potential to return to Japan in the future — or remain based in Melbourne long-term. The choice is yours.
About the Role
You will work within a collaborative and client-focused team, supporting a diverse portfolio of clients across all areas of accounting, including:

• Financial accounting and reporting
• BAS preparation and lodgement
• Tax compliance and advisory solutions
• Client liaison and relationship management
• Exposure to payroll processing (or willingness to learn)

This role suits someone who thrives in a busy, fast-paced environment, enjoys working with clients, and is equally comfortable working autonomously.
About You

• Qualified Accountant (CA/CPA or equivalent preferred)
• 3-5 years' professional accounting experience
• Experience with BAS and tax compliance
• QuickBooks experience preferred
• Payroll experience or strong interest in developing payroll skills
• Native-level Japanese language skills (essential)
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills
• Proactive, organised, and able to manage competing priorities

What's on Offer

• Flexible working arrangements, including work-from-home options
• Exceptional training and development opportunities
• Exposure to both Australian and Japanese business environments
• A supportive, professional, and proactive team culture
• Clear career pathway — Melbourne-based long term or transition to Japan

Join a firm that values growth, collaboration, and delivering high-quality accounting solutions within a strong client-centric culture. This is an opportunity to thrive, learn, and develop within a global environment.
