Preda is a Melbourne-based boutique accounting and business services practice. We're focused on helping our clients grow beyond what they think is possible, so they can achieve their business and financial goals.

For more than 15 years, we have partnered with individuals, families and small to medium-sized businesses across a range of industries, bringing a tailored approach to everything related to accounting, bookkeeping and wealth.

We pride ourselves on our truly personal approach, taking the time to listen and then delivering the best advice through an integrated service that brings together the combined expertise of our practice and our wider trusted network.

We're looking for a Business Services Supervisor to join our skilled, supportive and friendly team in our modern offices at 41 Exhibition Street, Melbourne. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys working closely with clients, mentoring team members and contributing to a boutique practice that values quality advice, strong relationships and career development.

This is a hands-on junior leadership role for an experienced public practice accountant who enjoys client contact, technical review and developing people. You'll work closely with the partner and manager to service a quality client portfolio, and play an important role in supporting a positive, high-performing team culture.

What's in it for you:

- Genuine career progression within a growing boutique practice, with support to complete your CA if you haven't already.

- Hybrid working arrangements that give you flexibility while staying connected to a collaborative team.

- Modern offices in the heart of Melbourne's CBD at 41 Exhibition Street.

- Direct exposure to partners and a diverse client portfolio, rather than being one of many in a large firm.

- A supportive, down-to-earth team culture where your input and ideas are valued.

About the role:

You'll work with the client partner and manager to service a portfolio of clients across a diverse range of industries. Day to day,



this includes managing client communication, workflow planning and deadlines, and using your accounting and tax expertise to prepare and review annual financial statements, tax returns and reconciliations for companies, partnerships, trusts and self-managed super funds, from start to finish including billing.

You'll also prepare and lodge BAS, IAS and FBT returns by their due dates, prepare individual tax returns, and put together logical, accurate and well-documented working papers. Part of the role involves helping clients get the most out of their accounting systems, including setup, process improvements and advice on cloud-based platforms.

On the team side, you'll supervise and support junior team members through clear delegation, quality review and day-to-day coaching, while helping maintain a positive team environment. You'll also join client meetings alongside partners from time to time, and take part in (and occasionally lead) training and professional development sessions for the team.

About you:

- Five or more years of relevant experience in an Australian accounting practice.

- A bachelor's degree or higher in accounting, commerce or a related field, with CA qualification or near completion.

- Experience mentoring, coaching or reviewing the work of graduates and junior team members, or a genuine interest in developing these skills.

- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the confidence to engage clearly with clients, partners and team members.

- Strong working knowledge of Xero and MYOB AccountRight/Business, with experience in MYOB AO/AE, XPM, APS or similar practice management software highly regarded.

- High attention to detail, strong time management, and a proactive, can-do attitude.

- Australian citizenship or permanent residency is required for this position.

To apply:

Please submit your cover letter and resume.

Applications should be addressed to John Lazzarini, Managing Director.
