We’re looking for a proactive and highly organised Accountant who combines strong technical accounting capability with a positive, collaborative approach. You’ll have excellent attention to detail, enjoy solving problems and be comfortable managing multiple deadlines in a fast‑paced environment.

• Relevant tertiary qualifications in Accounting, Finance or a related discipline
• CA/CPA qualification preferred, or currently working towards completion
• Previous accounting experience, ideally within a retail or services environment
• Strong experience in balance sheet reconciliations and general month‑end accounting
• Working knowledge of accruals, prepayments and fixed assets
• Strong analytical, numerical and problem‑solving capability
• Excellent organisational skills with the ability to meet deadlines and competing priorities.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• A collaborative approach and ability to build effective working relationships across the business.
• Strong attention to detail and a positive, proactive “can do” attitude.

At Austin Group we provide:

• A competitive salary package
• Free onsite parking in our Malvern office
• The flexibility to work from home each Friday
• A generous product allowance and 50% discount across GAZMAN, Cable and Perri Cutten
