The role is a full-time role. We are looking for an accountant that will be with our firm for many years.

Detailed Summary:
The job will involve the application of Australian taxation rules to support the preparation of Australian tax returns, BAS returns, payroll lodgments, and more. You are expected to be able to prepare financial statements and tax returns from various types of source documents, for review by our team leader.

Experience preparing Australian tax returns is necessary for this role. The main pieces of software we use are XPM (Xero Green), Xero (Blue), and FYI Docs. Experience with those is preferred, but if you know accounting and tax, software can be easily learned.

A large number of our business clients use Xero and QuickBooks Online, with others using excel spreadsheets or simply forwarding across bank statements and invoices. You will be expected to work through this information, work out the most appropriate allocation in the financial statements, and work out the tax outcomes of all items.
