Level 2 Accountant

We are looking for offshore accountants with mandatory Australian public practice experience. Roles will primarily focus on year-end compliance work for Australian clients.

We are looking for candidates who are interested in a long-term role and who place value on the team, quality of work, development and stability - not candidates whose primary motivation for moving is simply a salary increase.

Strong written and spoken English is essential for both roles.

Experience

• Approximately 3–4+ years’ experience in an Australian public practice accounting firm
  
• Strong business services and taxation experience is essential
  

Expected technical capability

The Level 2 Accountant should be comfortable preparing year-end compliance work for:

• Companies
  
• Trusts
  
• Individuals
  
• Business Activity Statements and Instalment Activity Statements
  
• Financial statements
  
• Income tax returns
  
• Supporting workpapers and reconciliations
  

Candidates should also have practical knowledge of, or meaningful exposure to:

• Division 7A
  
• Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT)
  
• Common company and trust tax issues
  
• Year-end tax adjustments and reconciliations
  

Work will continue to be reviewed by an Australian team member. However, once you are familiar with their systems, clients and processes, they would expect the quality of their work and existing technical knowledge to mean that review points are relatively limited.

Our client is looking for someone with a strong technical foundation rather than someone who requires significant training in core Australian accounting and taxation concepts.

What we are looking for

• Strong Australian public practice technical knowledge
  
• Ability to complete year-end compliance work substantially from start to finish
  
• Good judgement and ability to identify matters requiring further consideration
  
• Strong attention to detail and ownership of work
  
• Good written and spoken English
  
• Ability to communicate clearly with Australian team members
  
• Receptive to feedback and committed to continuous improvement
  
• Stable employment history
  
• Professional and reliable
  
• Genuine interest in a long-term position and becoming part of the broader team
