We’re working with a well-established, mid-sized accounting and advisory firm based in St Kilda that’s currently looking for a Senior Accountant with around 5 years of experience in public practice.
This is a compliance-focused role, but there’s a strong business advisory component too - roughly 75% compliance and 25% advisory. It would suit someone who enjoys working with corporate clients and wants to grow into more of a trusted advisor role over time.
About the firm
The accounting team is made up of around 30 people, with 80 staff in total across various divisions. The firm works with a broad mix of small-to-medium business clients, including those in fast food, engineering, and other service industries. While they do have a strong presence in pharmacy, this role won’t focus on that area.
The environment is supportive and professional, with a good mix of experienced team members and junior staff. You’ll be supported to continue developing your skills, particularly in advisory,
if that’s a direction you’d like to go.

- Preparing and reviewing compliance work for companies, trusts, and individuals

What they're looking for
- Around 5 years of experience in a public practice accounting firm
- Solid compliance background (especially with companies and trusts)
- A desire to engage more with clients and step into an advisory space
- Confidence in reviewing others’ work and helping to manage workflow
