Job Description
Senior Tax Accountant - Public Practice | Future Client Portfolio
n
Inner East Perth | Minutes from the CBD
n
Established 2-Partner Accounting Practice | Long-Term Client Portfolio | Genuine Succession Opportunity
n
Are you an experienced Senior Tax Accountant or Senior Business Services Accountant looking for a high-quality public practice role without the daily commute into the Perth CBD?
n
An excellent opportunity has become available to join a highly established, close-knit accounting practice based in Perth's inner eastern suburbs, just minutes from the CBD.
n
This location could particularly appeal to accountants living east, south-east or south of Perth who want easier access to work without travelling into the city every day.
n
The firm is led by two experienced Partners and has a stable team of accountants, with a strong focus on providing personalised tax, business services and advisory support to a long-standing SME and privately owned client base.
n
This position has become available following the departure of a Senior Accountant who had been with the practice for more than 10 years, highlighting the stability and long-term nature of the team.
n
The Opportunity
n
You will initially work closely with the Partners across a diverse portfolio of small to medium businesses, groups and larger privately owned clients, with the opportunity to progressively take ownership of your own client portfolio once established in the role.
n
Importantly, this is not simply a compliance position. One of the Partners is considering their longer-term retirement plans, creating a genuine succession prospect for the right person to build strong client relationships, take ownership of an established portfolio and become a key long-term member of the practice.
n
Your responsibilities will include:
n
n




Preparation and review of financial statements and income tax returns
n
Complex tax compliance and advisory work
n
Division 7A matters
n
Tax planning and structuring
n
Managing company, trust, partnership and individual clients
n
Working directly with business owners
n
Responding to client queries and providing proactive advice
n
Progressively becoming the primary relationship manager for your own group of clients
n
n
About You
n
We are looking for a technically strong Senior Tax Accountant / Senior Business Services Accountant who enjoys working directly with clients and wants to become an important long-term member of a practice.
n
You will ideally have:
n
n
Strong Australian public practice accounting experience
n
Solid business services, taxation and compliance knowledge
n
Strong knowledge of Division 7A
n
Experience working with SME and privately owned business clients
n
The ability to confidently prepare and review financial statements and tax returns
n
Excellent client-facing and communication skills
n
The confidence to eventually manage your own portfolio of clients
n
CA/CPA qualifications completed or well progressed
n
n
The Firm
n
This is an established practice with a genuinely close-knit culture and a very stable client and employee base.
n
The firm uses modern systems including Xero Practice Manager, FYI, Hubdoc, CAS 360 and SharePoint.
n
There is also a strong social element to the practice. Every Friday, the Partners take the team out for lunch, regularly trying different restaurants around the local area.
n
For someone looking for more than a traditional Senior Accountant role — and who would prefer to work outside the CBD — this is an opportunity to build long-term client relationships, take ownership of an established portfolio and position yourself as an important part of the firm's future.
