Job description

We currently have an opportunity for a Graduate Accountant to join our passionate team in our Sunshine Coast office.

The Company

Worrells is Australia’s leading insolvency, turnaround and advisory firm, with 150+ professionals across 29 offices nationally. We specialise in the SME market and are known for our strong systems, quality processes and commitment to developing our people. Many of our senior team started at Worrells as graduates and we’re proud of the career paths we create.

The Role

As a Graduate Accountant, you’ll work as part of a close-knit, high-performing team in our Sunshine Coast office, gaining exposure to a broad range of insolvency and restructuring matters.

From day one, you’ll be supported through structured training, hands‑on work, and close mentoring from experienced professionals.

Your role will include:

• Assisting with insolvency, restructuring and advisory engagements across corporate and personal matters.
• Applying accounting, analytical and problem-solving skills to real commercial situations, including conducting investigations into breaches of director duties, voidable transactions and insolvent trading.
• Working within Worrells’ special built systems and processes to deliver high-quality outcomes.
• Attending structured Worrells marketing events.
• Learning insolvency legislation, regulatory requirements and best-practice frameworks.
• Collaborating with directors, accountants, lawyers, financiers and other stakeholders.
• Developing technical and professional skills under close coaching and supervision.
• Developing your own leadership skills by delegating to and guiding Financial Assistants.

This is not a “back‑office” graduate role. You’ll be exposed to clients, complex financial data, and decision‑making early in your career.

About You

You’ll ideally have:

• A degree in Accounting/Commerce (or be entering your final year)
• Excellent communication skills and a proactive mindset
• An ability to build strong relationships with both internal and external stakeholders
• Confidence using technology in a paperless environment
• On track to meet the academic prerequisites to undertake CA or CPA qualification
• No insolvency experience required, we’ll train you.

What We Offer

At Worrells, we invest heavily in our graduates because we see them as our future leaders.

You’ll receive:

• Hands‑on training and mentoring from experienced insolvency professionals
• A structured learning and development program
• Financial support for CA or CPA studies, including study leave
• Regular check‑ins and development conversations with your manager
• Flexible working arrangements to support work‑life balance
• A collaborative, supportive and inclusive team culture
• Clear career progression pathways within a firm that promotes from within
• Access to our 'Kudos Hub' rewards program, offering exclusive retail discounts
• Commitment to you and your family’s health and safety with 24/7 access to the Sonder employee wellbeing platform giving you on‑demand access to medical, mental health and personal safety professionals.

If you’re a motivated graduate/final year student looking to build a meaningful and accelerated accounting career, we’d love to hear from you.
