ASSEMBLE has been engaged to recruit a Senior Accountant or Supervisor for a rapidly growing boutique accounting and advisory firm based near Miami on the Gold Coast. They currently have a team of 6 and services a broad range of SMEs and some larger national clients.
This is an opportunity to join a modern practice that is moving away from the traditional accounting firm model, with a strong focus on providing commercial, tax and advisory support to business owners rather than simply handling their compliance.

The Opportunity Working directly alongside the Director, you will take responsibility for managing workflow across the Business Services & Tax division and ensuring client work moves efficiently through the practice.
The Director has a strong technical tax background and is heavily involved in bringing new work into the business. This role has therefore been created for someone who can take ownership of the operational side of the practice managing workflow, deadlines, staff and client delivery while helping improve the systems and processes required to support further growth.
More important is your ability to lead a team, stay across multiple jobs and deadlines, manage WIP and ensure the practice runs efficiently.
Your responsibilities will include:
Managing workflow, scheduling, job allocation and lodgement deadlines across the team
Supervising and developing accountants within the Business Services division
Reviewing work and ensuring jobs progress efficiently through the practice
Managing WIP, budgets, billing, recoveries and debtors
Monitoring team performance and assisting with workload planning
Acting as a key point of contact for clients and managing expectations around delivery
Improving internal systems, processes and practice management procedures
Working closely with the Director on more complex technical matters and new client onboarding
Supporting the continued growth of the firm and getting involved in business development where desired

A good understanding of WIP, billing, budgets and recoveries
Strong client management and communication skills
CA/CPA qualifications or be working towards them
Experience with Xero and modern practice management systems
