Accounting Administrator

My client is a very successful accounting firm in the Gosford surrounding area. It may look like a small business from the outside, but once you see their books you'll quickly see that this business is actually a power-house…..

Since its inception in 2019 the practice has grown tremendously and now it's books are heaving with clients, and there's lengthy queue of new clients who are waiting to be seen. 

The Role

My client is looking for their team unicorn: a terrifically helpful person who the team of 6-8 accountants can throw to, who will help the team out with their accounting admin tasks when the office gets crazy busy (and yes it's crazy busy all the time!). You'll go straight to the top of the application list if you have previous experience in supporting an accounting team and you're well versed in ATO administration, but we'll also consider you and train you from the ground up if you are a VERY sharp thinker, a super-keen and quick learner, and have a genuine, helpful and honest disposition. To be happy in this role, you need to be comfortable with the fact that you'll be busy all day long supporting the Accountants with the admin parts of their jobs (for example, completing ASIC forms on line, overseeing ATO correspondence, processing client paperwork such as billing and invoicing in Xero). It's a role where you need to be accurate, reliable, efficient, and apply LOTS of practical, straightforward common sense. 

About Us

This is an accounting firm with a difference; its the kind of place where you ‘work hard, play hard’.  In return for your excellent contributions you get to play hard too….that means that Friday lunch is on the regular, so is dinner and drinks. Wine tours to the Hunter Valley, concerts in Sydney with door-to-door limo service. This workplace is truly unique and it rewards every single person who makes the business thrive. The team here is warm and friendly and it feels like a second family. To fit into the team you need to be equally smart, organised, efficient, reliable, have a sense of humor and enjoy having a laugh.
