About Taxmania
We’re a family-owned accounting firm that takes our work, and our clients’ success, seriously. We pair the high standards and technical capability of a mid-tier firm with the approachable, team-first culture of a family business. We’ve served the Ipswich area for over 25 years and have passed the business down to the next generation. We’re now looking for a hands-on Office Manager to keep our office running smoothly and our admin team on track.

About the Role

Are you an experienced accounting practice all-rounder who stays calm under pressure, loves a well-organised to-do list, and gets real satisfaction from putting out fires?

This is a hands-on, frontline role. You’ll be working alongside the team every day, not managing from behind a closed door. Think of yourself as the office’s “firefighter and traffic controller”. You’ll jump on problems as they come up, delegate tasks to our admin team, track them through to completion, and make sure nothing reaches our tax team half-finished.

Let’s be transparent: this is not a learning role. You’ll be the person the team comes to for answers, so you need to arrive already confident with ASIC, the ATO and Xero.

What You Will Be Doing

- Problem Solving: Be the go-to person when things go sideways. You’ll find the issue, fix it and get the work moving again.

- Delegation & Task Tracking: Assign daily tasks across our three-person admin team,



track progress and follow up so deadlines are met.

- Hands-On Compliance Work: Process ASIC annual reviews and company changes through Now Infinity, and handle ATO matters via the ATO and ASIC portals, including ABN and GST registrations, PAYG instalments and ATO correspondence.

- Team Support & Xero Training: Guide and upskill the admin team, including running practical Xero training sessions.

- The Checkpoint: Be the stopping point between admin and tax, so work goes through to the accountants complete and ready to go.

Who We Are Looking For (Must-Haves)

- The Firefighter: You’re a solid, reliable problem solver who stays calm when the pressure’s on. You don’t wait to be told, you just fix it.

- The Organiser: You’re exceptionally organised, and you’re confident delegating tasks and tracking them to completion. Nothing falls through the cracks on your watch.

- The Compliance Pro: You’re confident dealing with ASIC, the ATO, Now Infinity and the ATO and ASIC portals. You’ve done this work before and know your way around.

- The Xero Expert: You have extensive Xero experience and know it well enough to train others.

- The Experience: You have 3+ years in an administrative role within an Australian accounting or tax practice. General admin experience on its own won’t get you over the line.

Bonus points for: FYI and Ignition experience, and a good sense of humour (it helps at tax time).
