Calling all accountants who love the tech side of their job, have a soft spot for Active Workpapers and have quietly wondered what life might look like outside of public practice...
 
We might just have something pretty special for you.
 
We're back with our long-time pals at Active | Business Fitness, and this time we're looking for an accountant who's ready to take their industry knowledge in a slightly different direction.
 
You know that feeling when someone in the office is struggling with a piece of software, and you're the person they inevitably wander over to? You understand how the platform works, you've figured out a few clever ways to make life easier, and you genuinely enjoy showing other people how to get the most out of it.
 
Well, imagine getting to do that for a living.
 
We're talking less time buried in client files and more time helping accounting firms work smarter, introducing them to technology you already know and love, and building a whole new career in the SaaS world.
 
And the best bit? You don't need to have worked in software implementation or training before. If you've got the accounting experience, know your way around Active Workpapers and enjoy working with people, Business Fitness can teach you the rest.
 
SO... WHO ARE ACTIVE | BUSINESS FITNESS?
 
If you've spent any time working in Australian public practice, there's a pretty good chance these guys need little introduction.
 
Active | Business Fitness is an Australian SaaS business building some seriously clever technology for accountants, helping firms spend less time wrestling with manual processes and more time doing the work that actually adds value for their clients.
 
Their platform brings together Active Workpapers, Active Ledger & Reporting, and a growing suite of tools designed to make life easier for accounting practices of all shapes and sizes.
 
And they're not sitting still.
 
With a growing presence across Australia and the UK, an expanding product suite and some pretty exciting developments around AI and automation, they're right in the thick of how the accounting profession is evolving.
 
We've worked with this crew for years now, and they're genuinely one of our favourite teams to partner with. They're a down-to-earth, collaborative bunch who care deeply about their customers, back their people and understand that having a life outside of work is actually a pretty important part of doing good work.
 
For an accountant who's curious about where the profession is heading, it's a pretty exciting place to land.
 
THE GIG
 
You'll be joining the small Implementation & Training crew, helping accounting firms get up and running with the Active platform and making sure they're feeling confident, capable and genuinely excited about using it.
 
Once a new customer comes on board, you'll take ownership of their implementation journey. That means introducing yourself, understanding how their practice operates, coordinating their onboarding and training sessions, answering questions and helping them get comfortable with the software before handing them over to their Account Manager.
 
And here's where your accounting background becomes your superpower. Because when a partner, manager or accountant asks why something works a certain way, you'll understand what they're actually trying to achieve. You've been in their shoes. You know the workflows, the terminology and the little frustrations that come with getting through a busy day in practice.
 
You'll be able to explain things in a way that makes sense to them, rather than simply walking through a list of software features.
 
Initially, you'll focus on smaller accounting firms while you get comfortable delivering training and learning the implementation process. As your confidence grows, so will the complexity of the customers you're working with, with opportunities to eventually support much larger organisations.
 
And don't worry, nobody's expecting you to jump straight into a 90-minute training session on day one.
 
There's a proper onboarding process in place, with scripts, training materials, checklists, shadowing and plenty of support from the Implementation Manager and the wider team. You'll spend your first few weeks learning the ropes, practising and gradually getting in front of customers before building towards independently managing your own implementations.
 
WHAT WILL YOUR DAYS LOOK LIKE?
 
There's a nice mix of customer interaction, preparation, problem-solving and collaboration here.
On a typical day, you might deliver a training session or two, spend some time preparing for an upcoming implementation, follow up with a customer who's hit a roadblock or work with the Product team to track down an answer to a particularly curly question.
 
More specifically, you'll be:

• Owning customer implementations from the initial handover through to training, go-live and transition to Account Management.
• Delivering engaging, practical training sessions that help accountants understand how to get the most out of Active Workpapers and the broader platform.
• Getting to know each customer's practice, workflows and challenges so you can tailor their implementation experience accordingly.
• Coordinating training schedules, answering questions and making sure customers feel supported throughout their onboarding journey.
• Working closely with Support and Product when technical questions pop up or something needs a little extra investigation.
• Helping deliver customer webinars and, as your confidence grows, potentially presenting to larger audiences.
• Sharing customer feedback, ideas and insights that help the team continue improving its products and training experience.

And while you'll become pretty knowledgeable about the software, this isn't a deeply technical implementation role. There's a dedicated Support team to handle the more complicated technical stuff, so your focus is firmly on helping people understand and use the platform.
 
AND YOU?
 
We reckon this opportunity will really appeal to someone who's spent a few years in public practice and discovered that the parts of their job they enjoy most aren't necessarily the traditional accounting bits.
 
Maybe you're the unofficial Active Workpapers guru in your team. Perhaps you're the person who gets excited when a new feature rolls out, enjoys finding a better way to do something or regularly helps colleagues get their heads around the software.
 
You enjoy working with people, you're comfortable explaining things and you get a genuine kick out of seeing that little lightbulb moment when someone finally understands something.
 
And while you've enjoyed your time in accounting, you're starting to wonder whether there's another way to put all that knowledge to good use.
 
If that sounds familiar, we'd love to chat.
 
THE GOOD STUFF YOU'LL BRING...

• Recent, hands-on experience with Active Workpapers. This is the big one! Ideally, you've been using it regularly within the last 12 months and have a strong understanding of how it supports accounting workflows.
• Around 2-3+ years of experience in public practice or a closely related accounting environment. We're more interested in the depth of your Active experience than the exact number of years on your CV.
• A solid understanding of accounting processes, terminology and how accounting firms actually operate.
• Confidence communicating with people, whether that's explaining a process to a colleague, answering a client's question or walking someone through a new system.
• A genuine interest in technology and how it can make accounting practices more efficient.
• Good organisation skills and the ability to manage your own workload, customer commitments and competing priorities.
• A curious, patient and empathetic approach to helping people learn.

Experience with Active Ledger & Reporting would be a lovely bonus, as would any previous exposure to training, onboarding or implementing software.
 
But if you've never held a formal training or implementation title before, please don't let that stop you.
 
THE REALLY GOOD BIT?
 
For someone coming from public practice, there are a few things that make this opportunity particularly juicy.
First up, work-life balance. This is a fully remote role, with a team that genuinely values flexibility and getting your work done without the long hours that can sometimes come with life in an accounting firm.
 
Then there's the exposure. You'll work directly with partners, directors, senior accountants and other key stakeholders across a wide range of accounting practices. As your experience grows, you'll have the opportunity to work with some of the larger firms using the Active platform.
 
And the career possibilities? Pretty exciting.
 
Business Fitness is growing, and this role gives you a way into the technology industry without having to throw away the accounting experience you've worked hard to build. Whether you eventually want to deepen your expertise in implementation and training, explore product development or find your way into another part of the business, there's genuine openness to helping people explore where they want their careers to go.
 
You'll also be joining a business that's actively building technology around the future of accounting, including AI and automation. Rather than watching those changes unfold from the sidelines, you'll be helping firms understand and adopt the tools shaping what comes next.
 
This opportunity is initially being offered as a 12-month fixed-term maternity leave cover position, with the potential to transition into a permanent full-time position. Business Fitness is continuing to grow, and while a permanent opportunity isn't guaranteed, there's certainly an appetite to retain the right person beyond the initial contract.
 
SOUND LIKE A BIT OF YOU?
 
If you're an accountant who knows Active Workpapers inside out, loves helping people and is ready to explore what a career in technology might look like, we'd absolutely love to hear from you.
 
You don't need to have all the answers or know how to deliver the perfect training session just yet. Bring your accounting knowledge, your curiosity and a willingness to give something new a crack, and the Business Fitness crew will help you build the rest.
