We now have a fantastic opportunity for a capable and innovative Tax Accountant to join our boutique firm in Alice Springs, NT on a full-time basis.

Working closely with the Director, and a small team of 6-7 professionals (3 accountants and approximately 4 bookkeepers, plus administration staff), you will be providing a range of accounting services over 3 key areas - taxation, auditing, and not-for-profit/funded organisation accounting.

What we need from you

It's crucial that you are proficient in Xero, with any experience in other accounting software or technologies, or an interest in learning these, highly regarded.

An honest, personable communicator, you'll have no trouble building relationships with a range of clients, listening to and understanding their needs or situations, and offering straight-forward, confidential support or advice.

With strong problem solving skills and a commitment to innovation, you'll be confident making decisions and working autonomously, and be able to build on your knowledge and experience to identify any opportunities to further improve the service we provide.

Finally, you'll be a genuine team player, willing to jump in and help out in other areas when needed, and contributing to the friendly and positive team culture that has played a key part in our success.
