Senior Accountant - Become More Than a Number Cruncher
You've learnt how to prepare the numbers.
Now, where do you want your career to take you?
If you have around four years' experience in public practice, chances are you've developed a solid grounding in financial statements, tax returns and compliance.
But perhaps you're starting to wonder what comes next.
AtToyne Accountants, we're looking for a motivated Senior Accountant who wants the opportunity to become more than a technically capable accountant.
We want someone who has the ambition to develop their career towards becoming a confident client adviser and, ultimately, an Accounting Manager.
We'll provide the opportunity and development.
What you do with it will be up to you.
First, show us what you can do
We don't believe in promising promotions simply because someone has been here for a certain period of time.
Initially, your role will focus on the traditional areas of public practice accounting, including:
Preparation of financial statements
Preparation of income tax returns
General taxation and compliance work
Working with Xero and other client accounting information
Assisting with client queries and accounting matters
This gives you the opportunity to demonstrate your technical ability, reliability, initiative and capacity to take responsibility for your work.
Then things start to get more interesting.
Once we're confident in your abilities, we'll start investing in developing the skills that can take your career to another level.
Become the accountant clients actually want to talk to
Being a great accountant requires more than being technically good with numbers.
We'll help you develop your ability to sit across the table from a business owner, understand what's happening in their business and have a meaningful conversation about what they could do next.




Your development will progressively include:
Building and managing client relationships
Developing your communication and presentation skills
Tax planning and proactive client advice
Analysing business financial performance
Identifying opportunities to improve profitability and cash flow
Developing practical business advisory skills
Taking increasing responsibility for clients
Developing the leadership and management skills required to manage a portfolio and eventually lead others
The objective is simple:
How quickly you progress along that path will depend largely on you.
Who are Toyne Accountants?
We are a progressive Newcastle-based accounting firm with a team of18 people.

This is afull-time, office-based position in Newcastle.
We believe working closely with experienced accountants, managers and clients is an important part of developing the skills we're looking to build.
Who are we looking for?
We're not expecting the finished product.

Ideally, you'll have:




Around4 years' Australian public practice accounting experience
Strong financial statement and income tax preparation skills
Experience withXero
A good understanding of Australian taxation and compliance requirements
Ideally commenced, or be working towards,CA or CPA qualifications
Good written and verbal communication skills
A willingness to learn and accept greater responsibility
But beyond the CV, we're looking for something else.
Ambition.
We want someone who wants to improve, wants more responsibility, enjoys dealing with people and can see themselves eventually managing client relationships rather than spending their entire career simply preparing the numbers.
What will you get in return?
You'll receive anattractive salary package commensurate with your ability and experience, together with something potentially much more valuable – an chance to accelerate your career.
We'll provide:
Hands-on training and mentoring
A genuine pathway towards management
Increasing client contact as you demonstrate your capabilities
Training in business advisory and commercial skills
Exposure to business owners and their real-world challenges
Opportunities to take increasing ownership of client relationships
A supportive team of 18 people
The opportunity to grow with a progressive Newcastle accounting firm
We won't promise you a management title after an arbitrary number of months.
What we will promise is the opportunity to earn it.
Where do you want to be in three years?
Still preparing the same financial statements and tax returns?
Or sitting across the table from your own clients, helping them make better business decisions and building towards a management position?
If it's the second option, we'd like to meet you.
