Accountant - Australian Public Practice
We are looking for offshore accountants with mandatory Australian public practice experience. Roles will primarily focus on year-end compliance work for Australian clients.
We are looking for candidates who are interested in a long-term role and who place value on the team, quality of work, development and stability - not candidates whose primary motivation for moving is simply a salary increase.
Strong written and spoken English is essential for both roles.
Experience
- Approximately 3–4+ years’ experience in an Australian public practice accounting firm
- Strong
business services and taxation experience is essential
Expected
technical capability
The Level 2
Accountant should be comfortable preparing year-end compliance work for:
- Companies
- Trusts
- Individuals
- Business
Activity Statements and Instalment Activity Statements
- Financial
statements
- Income
tax returns
- Supporting
workpapers and reconciliations
Candidates
should also have practical knowledge of, or meaningful exposure to:
- Division
7A
- Fringe
Benefits Tax (FBT)
- Common
company and trust tax issues
- Year-end
tax adjustments and reconciliations
Work will
continue to be reviewed by an Australian team member. However, once you are familiar with their systems, clients and processes, they would expect
the quality of their work and existing technical knowledge to mean that review
points are relatively limited.
Our client is looking for someone with a strong technical foundation rather than
someone who requires significant training in core Australian accounting and
taxation concepts.

looking for
- Strong
Australian public practice technical knowledge
- Ability
to complete year-end compliance work substantially from start to finish
- Good
judgement and ability to identify matters requiring further consideration
- Strong
attention to detail and ownership of work
- Good
written and spoken English
- Ability
to communicate clearly with Australian team members
- Receptive
to feedback and committed to continuous improvement
- Stable
employment history
- Professional
and reliable
- Genuine
interest in a long-term position and becoming part of the broader team
