At Actuate Accounting, we help business owners take action.

We're a boutique accounting and advisory firm based on Sydney's North Shore, providing taxation, compliance, business advisory and virtual CFO services to privately owned businesses, investors and high-net-worth individuals.

We founded Actuate as an alternative to the larger accounting firms where our directors began their careers. Our goal is simple: deliver the expertise and breadth of a larger firm while maintaining the responsiveness, flexibility and personalised service of a boutique practice.

We're looking for an experienced Senior Taxation Accountant to join our growing team and play a key role in supporting our clients and mentoring junior accountants.

This role offers exposure to a diverse portfolio of clients across a broad range of industries and structures.

Working closely with the directors and leadership team, you will become a trusted adviser to your clients and help them navigate taxation, compliance and business issues with confidence.

• Provide practical taxation and business advice to clients

• Support clients with entity structuring, asset protection and tax compliance matters

• Identify opportunities to improve client outcomes and business performance

• Build strong and lasting client relationships

• Assist clients with Xero and related cloud accounting applications

• Review work prepared by junior team members

• Mentor and support graduate and intermediate accountants

• Work directly with directors on complex client engagements and advisory projects

You'll be someone who enjoys building client relationships, solving problems and delivering work to a high professional standard.

Ideally you'll have:

• Bachelor of Accounting, Commerce or Business

• CA qualified or nearing completion

• 4+ years' experience within public practice

• Strong technical taxation knowledge

• Experience reviewing compliance work and managing client portfolios

• Experience with Xero and cloud-based accounting systems

• Strong verbal and written communication skills

• Excellent organisational and time management skills

• A collaborative and team-focused approach

• A genuine interest in helping clients achieve their goals

• $100,000 - $130,000 package inclusive of superannuation

• Hybrid work arrangements

• Diverse mix of compliance and advisory work

• Direct access to experienced directors

• Clear career progression opportunities

• Ongoing training and professional development

• Supportive and collaborative team culture

• Social events and team activities throughout the year

• Modern cloud-based systems and processes

• Family-friendly and flexible workplace

This role would suit an experienced accountant looking to step into a broader client advisory role within a growing and highly regarded boutique firm.
