[Hiring] Australian Accountant @Boomering Inc

Role Description

We're looking for a capable and detail-oriented Australian Accountant with practical experience in both Australian taxation and Self-Managed Superannuation Funds (SMSF). You'll be supporting a small, collaborative Australian accounting practice that values accuracy, accountability, open communication, and continuous learning.

The role involves approximately:

• 75–80% Australian Tax
• 20–25% SMSF, including work across a portfolio of approximately 13–20 self-managed superannuation funds.

You don't need to know everything from day one. What matters most is having a solid accounting foundation, the confidence to ask the right questions, and the ability to learn, apply feedback, and take ownership of your work.

The client offers an approachable and supportive working environment where team members are encouraged to ask questions, share knowledge, and continuously improve.

Your Responsibilities as an Australian Accountant

  • Prepare Australian individual, company, trust, and partnership tax returns for review.

  • Maintain accurate and organised documentation in accordance with established client processes.
  • Apply practical SMSF knowledge while continuing to develop technical capability through team guidance.
• Communication, Accuracy and Ownership
  • Take ownership of assigned tasks and follow them through to completion.
  • Prepare accurate, complete, and well-organised work for timely review.
  • Communicate proactively about progress, questions, delays, and potential concerns.
  • Ask relevant questions when clarification is needed rather than making assumptions.
  • Apply feedback, learn from mistakes, and avoid repeating errors.
  • Manage workload efficiently while maintaining quality and meeting agreed deadlines.
  • Collaborate effectively with the Australian team.
