Insolvency Accountant - Supervisor or Manager

Newcastle

Working with businesses that are in distress is challenging. But, as advisers, we have the opportunity to help business owners and people affected by a potential insolvency to minimise the damage and, in some cases, revive a failing business.

Due to growth, we are seeking an experienced insolvency Accountant to join our Newcastle Business Recovery & Insolvency Team in the role of Supervisor or Manager. To be a success you’ll need to have excellent organisational and time management skills, be well presented and self-motivated.

We work with people from all walks of life and across various industries. Our perfect candidate will be a quick learner, have excellent written and verbal communication skills and be familiar with CORE IPS, Xero, MYOB, Quickbooks, Microsoft Excel, Word and Outlook. In insolvency, we are dealing with people at a highly emotive time in their lives and resilience and empathy are key traits that we’re looking for in our new recruit.

In return, we’ll offer you access to industry leaders to learn from and an opportunity to work directly with a Partner. Our people have vast experience at managing corporate and personal insolvencies as well as rescuing failing businesses and getting them back on their feet and will teach you how to become an expert in your trade.

To be considered for the position, you’ll need:

• Relevant experience in the area of corporate and personal insolvency (4 years + preferred)
• To present a confident, professional and friendly manner
• A keen interest in a career in insolvency/restructuring/bankruptcy
• A relevant university degree
