This is a unique and rare opportunity to join a busy and growing team where your expertise is valued, your ambitions are supported, and your impact is felt by the agricultural community we serve.

About the role

The role requires demonstrated experience managing larger and more complex client groups, including the preparation and review of tax packs, BAS returns, GST reconciliations, financial statements, and finance contract arrangements. You will work independently allowing management the ability to continue facing front to our clients, providing the best service, the Byfields way.

We offer:

• 5 weeks paid annual leave, because work-life balance matters
