* Leading and mentoring junior accountants, including delivering internal training and coaching sessions
* Contributing to client updates, technical alerts, and internal knowledge sharing
* Supporting Partners and Managers with a range of ad hoc advisory projects
What We're Looking For
To be considered, you must have:
* Current or prior Australian public practice accounting experience
* Proven Australian tax experience across compliance and advisory (essential)
* A relevant degree in Accounting, Commerce, or Business
* CA/CPA qualification (completed)
* 3–4+ years' experience in business services, tax, or advisory
* Experience with Xero, MYOB, APS or similar accounting systems
* Strong technical knowledge, combined with excellent communication skills and a genuine ability to mentor junior staff
