Utiliti Accounting and Tax Pty Ltd – Bondi Junction NSW
We're a modern accounting and advisory practice supporting a growing portfolio of business clients. We pair a hands-on local team with an offshore delivery team to give our clients reliable, high-quality bookkeeping, compliance and month-end reporting — and the strategic advice to go with it. We work in the cloud, we value getting things right, and we invest in our people.
We're looking for an experienced Senior Accountant to take ownership of client delivery across an assigned portfolio and be the trusted day-to-day contact our clients rely on.
The role
Reporting directly to the Director, you'll own month-end close across your client portfolio and lead the quality of everything that goes out the door. You'll coordinate our offshore delivery team, review their work, and be the primary point of contact for clients on bookkeeping and month-end matters — with the Director stepping in on advisory and strategic questions.
This is a genuine ownership role for someone who enjoys running a portfolio, lifting quality and building outstanding client relationships.
What you'll do
Own month-end close across an assigned client portfolio, including coordinating the offshore delivery team
Act as the primary day-to-day contact for clients on bookkeeping and month-end matters
Review and quality-assure offshore output before it's released to clients
Prepare and review BAS and IAS for Director review and lodgement
Monitor superannuation, PAYG and payroll obligations across the portfolio
Maintain audit-ready workpaper files for every client
Contribute to end-to-end onboarding of new clients




Identify and implement process improvements that make delivery sharper and faster
What you'll bring
Solid experience in a bookkeeping, accounting or business-services role, ideally within a practice or multi-client environment
Strong hands-on skills in Xero and MYOB
Confidence preparing BAS/IAS and managing superannuation, PAYG and payroll obligations
A sharp eye for quality — you catch what others miss and hold a high standard on review
Great communication skills and a professional, client-first approach
Comfort coordinating a team and juggling multiple client deadlines, especially around month-end
Experience with Asana and Practice Protect (or similar practice tools) is a plus
CA/CPA qualified or working towards it is well regarded, though relevant experience matters most
$90,000 + super, with performance reviewed as you take full ownership of your portfolio
Genuinely flexible working arrangements — we care about output and quality, not clocking hours in a seat, with a mix of office and work-from-home to suit you
A well-located Eastern Suburbs office, easy to get to
Cloud-first tools and systems, and an offshore team to leverage
Direct access to and mentoring from the Director
A growing practice where your ideas on process and improvement are genuinely wanted
Full-time, 38 hours per week (Monday to Friday), with flexible working arrangements. Based at our Eastern Suburbs, NSW office with work-from-home flexibility. Australian working rights required.
We're an equal opportunity employer. The successful applicant will be required to complete pre-employment checks, which may include reference and background checks.
