Intermediate / Senior Accountant
Salary: $85,000 - $120,000 + superannuation
Location: Dalby or Toowoomba
Work style: Hybrid flexibility available
 
Why This Role
This is an opportunity for an Intermediate or Senior Accountant to join a small, established regional accounting firm with offices in Dalby and Toowoomba.
 
The role will suit someone who wants close Partner access, genuine client contact and the opportunity to work across a practical mix of compliance, tax planning and business advisory support.
 
This is not a large corporate environment. You will work closely with the firm's Partners, build strong relationships with long-standing clients and play an important role in supporting junior staff as the firm continues to grow.
 
For the right person, there is also a genuine long-term progression opportunity, with scope to move into a broader leadership role over time.
 
About Our Client
Our client is a regional accounting and taxation firm supporting individuals, primary producers, small businesses and private clients across Dalby, Toowoomba and the surrounding areas.
 
The firm provides practical accounting, compliance, taxation, BAS, bookkeeping, business advisory, SMSF and succession planning support.
 
The client base includes a strong rural and primary production presence, along with local businesses across trades, professional services, hospitality, retail and businesses servicing the mining sector.
 
The firm has long-standing client relationships, including clients who have worked with the practice for decades. This is a good fit for an accountant who values personal service, practical advice and meaningful client relationships.
 
Why Dalby / Toowoomba
This role offers the opportunity to build a strong public practice career outside the major metro markets, while still working with a varied and commercially relevant client base.
 
For candidates open to regional Queensland, Dalby and Toowoomba offer a strong local business community, lower cost of living than capital city markets, and the opportunity to become a trusted adviser to clients who value long-term relationships.
 
The Role
As an Intermediate or Senior Accountant, you will work directly with the Partners across compliance, tax and client support work.
 
Your responsibilities will include:

• Preparing financial statements and income tax returns for companies, trusts, partnerships, individuals and SMSFs
• Preparing BAS, tax planning work and related compliance matters
• Working with rural clients, primary producers, local businesses and private clients
• Supporting clients with practical taxation and business advice
• Liaising with the ATO and other relevant bodies on behalf of clients
• Assisting with SMSF compliance work, where required
• Helping train and support junior staff
• Reviewing work prepared by junior staff or bookkeepers, depending on experience
• Working closely with the Partners on client matters and workflow priorities
• Supporting the continued development of firm processes as the practice grows

For Intermediate-level candidates, the focus will be on building technical confidence, strengthening client communication and developing toward a more senior role.
 
For Senior-level candidates, there will be greater scope for review work, client ownership, junior staff support and future leadership progression.
 
What You'll Bring

• Australian public practice accounting experience
• Ideally 2-5+ years of experience, depending on level
• Degree qualified in Accounting, Business, Commerce or a related field
• CA or CPA completed, underway or intended
• Strong technical foundations across tax, compliance and business services
• Experience preparing financial statements and tax returns across multiple entity types
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work with a broad client base
• A practical, down-to-earth approach to client service
• Willingness to support and train junior staff
• Strong attention to detail and accountability
• Experience with Xero will be highly regarded
• Experience with Handisoft or SMSF work will also be useful, but is not essential

This role will particularly suit someone who can communicate well with rural, regional and long-standing clients, including business owners who value clear advice and responsive service.
 
What's On Offer

• $85,000 - $120,000 + superannuation, depending on experience
• Hybrid flexibility, with the expectation of regular office presence
• Direct access to the firm's Partners
• Genuine client contact and relationship-building opportunity
• Varied client base across primary production, local businesses, SMSFs and private clients
• Opportunity to train and support junior staff
• Clear long-term pathway toward leadership for the right person
• Potential future partnership pathway for a strong long-term fit
• Small team environment where your contribution is visible
• Practical, relationship-driven client work
• Opportunity to join an established regional firm with a stable client base
