An independent Brisbane southside accounting and advisory practice is looking for an experienced Auditor to take the lead on its trust account audit work. The firm has been part of the local business community for many years, and its reputation rests on practical advice and long standing client relationships rather than volume.

Alongside the audit work, you will get the chance to be involved in accounting and tax matters, so the role stays varied and your skills keep broadening.

Review trust account records,



reconciliations and supporting documents for compliance
Prepare clear working papers, identify exceptions and talk through findings with clients and Partners
Manage your own workflow, deadlines and follow up actions
Be a trusted point of contact for clients on audit queries
Assist with financial statements and income tax returns as needed

THE INDIVIDUAL:
