About This Role

Our growing Private Business Tax & Advisory (Business Services) team is looking for an experienced Senior Accountant to join our Perth office as a Senior Associate.

Business leaders face many challenges throughout the business lifecycle: from managing daily operations, tax and compliance, to navigating a competitive landscape and planning an exit strategy. As part of our 'Reach for Remarkable' brand promise, Grant Thornton's people are committed to providing a strikingly different client experience that is agile, authentic, and personal.

Key Responsibilities

This is a 'hands-on' role involving a varied client portfolio and a broad range of activities, including:

Work closely with our clients in meeting their accounting and tax compliance requirements, including preparation of financial statements, income tax returns, BAS, FBT and payroll tax returns
Collaboration journey with a broad range of clients, from SMEs to large companies
Assist with accounting and tax advisory work that supports our clients' business
Build a foundation of trust and competency with clients
Provide developmental support to team members through coaching and mentoring opportunities as required


Skills And Experience

You will have an interest in taxation and in the 'nuts and bolts' of accounting, while bringing a caring, conscientious, and practical approach to your clients. You enjoy applying your analytical and critical thinking skills to problems in order to find innovative solutions that are tailored to each client's unique situation.

CA qualification
Significant professional experience in business and tax advisory within a chartered accounting setting
Excellent written and verbal communication skills
Highly organised, with the ability to manage competing priorities within a deadline-driven environment and be adaptable to work across multiple managers
Experience in the use of Xero accounting software will be highly regarded


If you're interested in this role but don't feel that you match every single one of our requirements, we would still love to hear from you and explore the unique skillset and attributes that you can bring to the team.
