Looking for an Tax Manager role with a difference? Are you a top-notch accountant with personality looking for a place to thrive?  

OUR COMPANY  

Priah Chartered Accountants provides taxation, accounting and business advisory services to a wide range of clients, including individuals, small to medium businesses, investment entities and SMSFs.

Our values at Priah are Passion, Reliability, Innovation, Authenticity, Honesty and most importantly Fun! We are working together to transform the way our clients interact and think about their tax obligations. 

Our new digs are located in the lovely leafy suburb of Lyneham. The office is light, bright and colourful just like Jackie the principal of Priah. Jackie refers to it as the perfect entertainer's office! Being close to the city usually means parking is hard to come by but with the light rail stop at the doorstep to the office and parking available on site you will not have to worry about the commute. 

Even though Priah has a nice new office, going into the office every single day is not for everyone. We offer flexible working arrangements so that your life does not need to revolve around work but works with it.
