Senior Accountant | Short term contract | Darwin

We’re a Darwin-based CA practice on Larrakia Country working with Aboriginal businesses, community-controlled organisations and not-for-profits across the Territory and beyond. Our clients are running real operations with real stakes, and our job is to make the compliance and financial infrastructure behind them work properly. We are Xero Community Partner of the Year and hold a verified SROI of $5.50 per $1 invested through our sister charity, Together Academy.

We’re hiring a Senior Accountant to join our small onshore team, three days a week, permanent part-time. Hours can be structured around school pick-up and drop-off. We mean it.

What you’ll actually do

You’ll carry a portfolio of BAS, financial statements and review-ready workpaper preparation across a mixed client base: Aboriginal corporations, Pty Ltds, trusts, incorporated associations and NFPs. You’ll work end-to-end on your files, from reconciliation review through to draft financials, with the Managing Director as your reviewer. You’ll also step into client conversations where it makes sense, particularly around month-end, BAS lodgement and year-end.

This is not a role where the technical work is queued up for you. You’ll own the flow.

What we’re looking for

- CA qualified (or in the final stages), with 4+ years post-graduate practice experience
- Confident preparing financial statements under the SDS framework and, ideally, ACNC and CATSI reporting
- Xero fluent. Karbon and Active Workpapers experience a plus, not required
- Comfortable holding client relationships directly
- Able to work independently to a review-ready standard

We work almost exclusively with First Nations organisations. You don’t need to First Nations to work here, but you do need to genuinely want to work with First Nations clients, and you need to bring the cultural humility that goes with that. If you’ve worked in this space before, we’d love to hear about it. If you haven’t but you’re serious about learning, tell us that too.

The offer

- School-hours friendly. Genuinely flexible start and finish times
- Darwin-based, hybrid arrangement available
- Salary aligned to CAANZ senior benchmarks, pro-rata
- Receive personalized job recommendations.
