You’re an Accountant. You’re good with numbers right? Then you know living and working in a capital city is the equivalent of a financial mouse wheel. If you’ve ever thought about moving to a regional location – now might just be the time.

If the EOFY where you are working currently, is enough to make you question your sanity – perhaps it’s time to escape all the noise of the city and base yourself in a fantastic part of the world.

With really affordable housing (we are talking around $500k for a 3 bedroom on 650sqm in the suburbs), world class education facilities, ongoing infrastructure spending and a great lifestyle; living in the picturesque Hunter Valley is a really great choice for your physical, emotional and financial future, but doesn’t come at the expense of your career.

With the option to be based in either Maitland or Newcastle, this reputable, long established firm seeks the services of an experienced Senior Accountant to join their team.

Our client prides themselves on their exceptionally high staff retention rates, due in no small part to the training and career development they provide to their team, as well as their social atmosphere and genuine work/life balance. Their client retention rates are also well above average and they attribute this to their approach – reliable, practical, commercial and thorough.

The role of Senior Accountant requires that you have around 5 years of post-graduate experience and ideally have committed to completion of your CA or CPA (if you’ve done it even better). You are a motivated individual who enjoys providing the very best service to your clients across the full spectrum of business services, and it is expected that you can tick off the following:

• Analysis and planning around P&L, Cashflow and Balance sheet
• Financial statements and reporting
• Tax (income, GST, PAYG, FBT, CGT)
• Knowing the basics of Super and Audit to effectively work with specialists in this area
• Exceptional communication skills and fluency of spoken and written English
• Thorough understanding of Accounting systems such as Xero, MYOB etc
