Senior Accountant

Bendigo, VIC | Full-time

$95,000 - $110,000 + commission + super + potential pathway to ownership

Sunday HR is partnering with an established and growing taxation and business advisory firm to recruit an experienced Senior Accountant for its Bendigo team.

This is more than a traditional Senior Accountant opportunity. For the right person, there is a genuine longer-term pathway to ownership, making this particularly suited to someone looking for a firm they can grow with and potentially have a stake in over time.

Working directly with the Directors, you’ll manage a diverse portfolio across taxation, accounting and business advisory, build strong client relationships and have the autonomy to manage your work from commencement through to completion.

The role

As Senior Accountant, you’ll manage client work from commencement through to completion, building strong relationships and providing practical advice tailored to each client’s circumstances.

Your responsibilities will include

- Preparing and reviewing financial statements for companies, trusts, partnerships, SMSFs, small to medium businesses and individuals
- Preparing and reviewing income tax returns, BAS and other taxation and statutory lodgements
- Providing practical taxation and tax planning advice
- Supporting clients with business structuring, cash flow management, budgeting, forecasting and financial analysis
- Managing client work, priorities and deadlines
- Building trusted client relationships and acting as a key point of contact
- Identifying opportunities to provide broader taxation, accounting and advisory support
- Working collaboratively with the Directors and wider team

About you

You’ll be an experienced public practice accountant who is technically capable, comfortable taking ownership of client work and enjoys developing strong relationships with the people and businesses you support.

You’ll bring

- A Bachelor’s degree in Accounting,



Finance or a related discipline
- A minimum of four years’ relevant experience within Australian public practice accounting
- Experience preparing financial statements and taxation compliance work across a range of entity types
- Strong working knowledge of Australian taxation and relevant regulatory requirements
- Confidence managing multiple client engagements, priorities and deadlines
- Strong communication and client relationship skills
- Proficiency with Xero or similar accounting software

CA or CPA designation, or progress toward achieving it, will be highly regarded, as will experience providing business advisory services.

Why consider this opportunity?

This is a chance to join a growing regional practice where you can have meaningful involvement with clients and the broader business. For the right person, that involvement also comes with genuine longer-term potential, with the opportunity for your career to extend beyond Senior Accountant and into ownership of the business over time.

You can expect

- $95,000 – $110,000 + super, depending on experience and capability
- Commission-based earning opportunities
- Direct access to and the opportunity to work closely with the Directors
- Exposure to a diverse client base across a range of industries
- A genuine mix of taxation, accounting and business advisory work
- Versatile working arrangements, including hybrid options, which can be discussed
- Ongoing professional development and technical training
- The opportunity to develop strong relationships within the Bendigo business community
- Potential longer-term pathway to ownership for the right person

Interested?

You might be actively looking for your next role, or simply open to hearing about the right opportunity. Either way, we’d be happy to have a confidential conversation.

If you’re an experienced public practice accountant and this sounds like a role worth exploring, we’d love to hear from you.
