Job Description

Senior Accountant

n

Bendigo, VIC | Full-time

n

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

n

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

n

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.

n

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

n

The role

n

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.

n

Your responsibilities will include:

n

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

n

About you

n

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.

n

You'll bring:

n

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

n

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

n

Why consider this opportunity?

n

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.

n

You can expect:

n

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