Senior Accountant | Business Services & Tax
Wollongong | Full-Time | Career Progression
Are you an experienced accountant ready for more responsibility, better client exposure and the opportunity to genuinely progress your career?
We're looking for a Senior Accountant with around 5+ years' Australian public practice experience to join our established accounting team in Wollongong.
This role would suit someone who is technically strong, confident dealing with clients and ready to take greater ownership of their work, without needing to have done everything already.
You'll work across a diverse portfolio of SME, family business and individual clients, with exposure to compliance, tax planning, structuring and advisory work.
Most importantly, you'll have the opportunity to continue developing into a trusted client manager and senior member of the team.
Why join us?
We want good accountants to build a career with us, not simply process work.
You'll have:
Exposure to a broad range of business clients and industries
Direct contact with business owners and decision-makers
Genuine tax planning and advisory work
Opportunity to manage and grow your own client relationships
Support from experienced senior accountants and leadership
Career progression into Client Manager or Accounting Manager roles
CPA/CA support and ongoing professional development
Modern Wollongong office
A friendly, professional and supportive team
Flexible working arrangements for the right person
Competitive salary based on experience
You'll be given responsibility, but you'll also have support when you need it.
What you'll be doing




Your role will include:
Preparing financial statements and income tax returns
Preparing and reviewing BAS
Working with companies, trusts, partnerships and individuals
Managing taxation compliance for SME clients
Assisting with tax planning and year-end strategies
Working directly with clients to resolve accounting and taxation matters
Developing strong ongoing client relationships
Identifying opportunities to assist clients beyond basic compliance
Assisting with CGT, Division 7A and business structuring matters
Reviewing work prepared by junior team members where appropriate
Supporting and mentoring less experienced accountants
Working closely with senior accountants and partners on more complex matters
As your experience and confidence grow, so will your level of responsibility and client ownership.
About you
You don't need to know everything.
But you do need to be someone who takes pride in their work, wants to keep learning and can be relied upon to follow things through.
Ideally, you will have:
Around 5+ years' Australian public practice accounting experience
Strong experience preparing financial statements and tax returns
Good knowledge of Australian taxation
Experience with companies,



trusts, partnerships and individuals
Experience working with SME and business clients
Confidence communicating directly with clients
Strong attention to detail
Good organisational and time-management skills
Experience with Xero and preferably Xero Practice Manager
A willingness to take ownership and solve problems
CPA or CA qualification is highly regarded, whether completed or currently in progress.
What we're really looking for
We're looking for someone dependable.
Someone who cares about getting the work right.
Someone who communicates well with clients and colleagues.
Someone who sees an issue and thinks about the solution rather than simply passing it on.
And someone who wants to continue developing their career rather than staying in the same role for the next five years.
You may currently be an Intermediate Accountant who is ready to step up, or already working as a Senior Accountant and looking for a better opportunity.
Either way, if you have solid public practice experience and want to take the next step, we'd like to hear from you.
About the business
We are an established multidisciplinary financial services firm providing accounting, taxation, business advisory, lending and financial planning services.
Our accounting clients include SMEs, family businesses, investors and individuals across a broad range of industries.
We focus on building long-term relationships and providing practical advice — not simply completing a tax return once a year.
