PKF is currently recruiting a full time, experienced Tax Specialist to join our team. What's important is that you can explain complex tax issues in a 'human' way, can find opportunities, and have the expertise and skills to bring a level of comfort and confidence to clients ranging from large conglomerates to small family businesses.

Do you have a 'can do' attitude and a flair for business development? Then this is the role for you
**About PKF**:
The largest firm in the PKF Australia network sits in the city of Newcastle, where the beach and the city cohabit and workers often enjoy the luxury of an early morning surf, the opportunity to live on a 'property' with land and cattle, and a short drive to work. Those that choose the suburbs are even closer to the office but, can still have the benefits of water views or a sprawling garden. The PKF office is based in the heart of the city and of course close to beaches, restaurant hubs and quirky coffee hangouts. Newcastle has it all
The business community in Newcastle is thriving with new businesses appearing or transitioning to Newcastle regularly. The region surrounding the city is known for its innovative culture and embracing of new ideas and fostering change. Though our cousins up the road in Sydney may refer to Newcastle as "Sleepy Hollow", the town balances its business community with that of a growing tourism base, hosting major events and attracting great talent.
**What we are looking for**:
The successful applicant will:
- Be a talented tax professional able to simply explain complex tax theory
- Enjoy identifying opportunities, whether with new clients or existing
- Be able to demonstrate tax theory through storytelling
- Have a strong desire to grow and develop both as a person and in your career
- Strong collaborative skills, an enthusiastic work ethic and excellent communication skills
