As a leading professional services firm, we connect you to an extensive network of global resources and invest in your future. We value the meaningful work that you do and encourage you to be a part of the change. Our value proposition is our commitment to you; it highlights the experiences, benefits, and value that you can expect as part of RSM. This is underpinned by our three values - integrity in everything that we do, supporting clients everywhere, and developing and valuing everyone. Who we are: RSM Australia is a member of RSM, the world's 6th largest network of audit, tax and consulting firms. We are an award-winning professional services firm with over 100 years experience supporting Australian businesses. We believe in putting people first and we are proud to have developed a work culture that fosters growth, collaboration and success.

About the role

Our Perth Assurance & Advisory team is experiencing unprecedented growth, including strong momentum over the past 12 months as we continue to win new work and expand our client base. At the same time, we are proud of maintaining a people-focused culture and importantly, reasonable working hours. Growth means a wealth of opportunities for talented and ambitious individuals who are looking to make the switch and fast-track their careers. We are seeking like-minded, talented Audit Seniors, or those ready to make that next step, to join our growing Brisbane team on a permanent basis and be part of our success story.

This role is a genuine career-building opportunity. You'll be trusted to "senior" engagements end-to-end (planning through to completion), build strong client relationships, and coach and develop our graduates and audit assistants - while also sharpening the technical, commercial and project management skills that set you up for the next step to Assistant Manager.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform high-quality audit work by preparing audit workpapers, documenting audit procedures, testing, and conclusions across significant and complex audit areas, with the assistance of analytical tools.
• Identify, assess and appropriately address technical accounting and auditing matters, escalating issues where required.
• Review financial statements and related disclosures to ensure compliance with Accounting Standards and relevant regulatory requirements.
• Assist in the preparation of client-facing audit outputs, including reports, presentations, and professional communications to management and those charged with governance.
• Work across multiple audit engagements, collaborating effectively with engagement teams to deliver work to agreed quality and timeframes.
• Build strong client relationships through professional, responsive service and clear communication.
• Support the development of graduates and audit assistants through on-the-job coaching and guidance in line with RSM methodology and quality standards.
• Develop project management and leadership capability, positioning you for progression to Assistant Manager.

About you

• 2+ years' external audit experience, with exposure to a range of audit engagements and client types.
• Demonstrated experience acting as in-charge on engagements, including supervising and supporting junior team members.
• Exceptional communication and people skills.
• CA qualified or near qualified.
• Working knowledge of Australian (or International) Auditing Standards and Australian Corporations Act.
• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills, with an inquisitive mindset and the confidence to exercise professional judgement.
• Client-focused and motivated to add value through the delivery of high-quality, responsive audit services.
• Passionate about contributing to a great team culture, mentoring junior staff and making a meaningful contribution to both clients and the wider firm.
