Recruitment Expert is partnering with an established accounting and advisory firm with approximately 65 staff to recruit an Intermediate or Senior Accountant for its Essendon Fields office.

Your role

Working alongside managers and partners, your responsibilities will reflect your experience and include:

n

n
- Preparing financial statements and tax returns.
n
- Preparing BAS and IAS and working through tax compliance matters, including Division 7A.
n
- Liaising with clients to gather information and resolve queries.

Know what progression requires.



You'll receive a documented development plan outlining the technical standards for your role and the skills needed for the next level. There are defined intermediate, senior, supervisory and management positions.

Your first few weeks will include structured induction, training, shadowing and a dedicated buddy. Three reviews during probation provide opportunities to discuss your progress and address areas where you need support.

Build towards client management.

The firm wants to develop accountants who can eventually manage client relationships. As your capability grows, there is scope to take on greater responsibility and become more involved with clients.

n
