We are seeking an Intermediate Tax Accountant who has commenced the CA or CPA program and has a minimum of one year's experience in an Australian tax practice. Full-time and part-time arrangements will be considered.

This role suits an accountant who has built a sound technical foundation and is ready to take greater ownership of a client portfolio, contribute to tax planning and advisory work, and support the development of junior team members.

The Role

- Preparation and review of income tax returns and financial statements for individuals, sole traders, partnerships, trusts and companies.
- Preparation and lodgement of Business Activity Statements, Instalment Activity Statements and other periodic compliance obligations.
- Identification and management of technical tax issues, including Division 7A, trust distributions, capital gains tax and small business concessions, with escalation to directors where appropriate.
- Assistance with year-end tax planning and the delivery of advisory services to business clients.
- Management of correspondence and enquiries with the Australian Taxation Office on behalf of clients.
- Direct liaison with clients as a primary point of contact for allocated jobs, including the gathering of information and the communication of outcomes.
- The role may include assisting with the review of work prepared by graduate staff.

- A minimum of one year's experience in an Australian public practice tax environment: Demonstrated experience in preparing tax returns and financial statements across multiple entity types is essential.
- Sound technical knowledge: A working understanding of Australian income tax and GST legislation, and the ability to research and apply technical positions with appropriate guidance.
- Exceptional English communication skills: Solid verbal and written English proficiency is required, as the role involves direct client communication and correspondence with the ATO.
