Looking for more than just another compliance role?
If you're an accountant in public practice looking to accelerate your career, gain greater client exposure and develop your advisory skills, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.

We're partnering with a well-established accounting and advisory firm seeking an Intermediate Accountant to join its growing Business Advisory team. You'll work closely with experienced professionals, support a diverse portfolio of clients and gain exposure to a broad range of business, taxation and advisory matters.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants to continue learning, take on more responsibility and build a long-term career in a firm that genuinely invests in its people.

What's on Offer?

• Up to $90K package
• Flexible hybrid working arrangements
• CA/CPA support and ongoing professional development
• Exposure to both compliance and advisory work
• Diverse client portfolio across multiple industries
• Strong mentoring from experienced leaders
• Genuine career progression opportunities
• Collaborative and supportive team culture
• Relocation opportunities for candidates across Australia and New Zealand

Why Apply?
This is more than a traditional accounting role.

You'll join a team where development is actively encouraged, client relationships are valued and career progression is driven by capability rather than simply tenure. As the business continues to grow, you'll have the opportunity to expand your responsibilities, strengthen your advisory skills and build a clear pathway for your future career.

If you're looking for a firm where your ideas will be heard, your contribution recognised and your growth supported, this is an opportunity worth exploring.

The Role
Working closely with a broad range of business clients, your responsibilities will include:

• Preparing financial statements, income tax returns and other compliance obligations
• Managing trust accounts and trust tax compliance requirements
• Assisting with cashflow management, budgeting and business reporting
• Supporting business advisory, taxation and client accounting engagements
• Building strong client relationships and delivering proactive support
• Working with Xero, MYOB, APS, Class and other cloud-based accounting systems

About You
We're looking for an accountant who enjoys working with clients, values collaboration and is motivated to continue developing professionally.

Ideally, you'll have:

• 1+ years' experience within a Chartered Accounting or public practice firm
• CA/CPA qualified or currently undertaking your studies
• Demonstrated experience preparing and managing trust accounts and trust tax compliance
• Sound knowledge of Australian taxation legislation and accounting standards
• Experience with Xero, MYOB, APS, Class or similar accounting software
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills
• A proactive approach and willingness to contribute ideas and improvements
• A genuine desire to make a positive impact for clients and your team
