Job description

Fenway Accounting is a growing accounting practice in the Sutherland Shire, and we're looking for a motivated Junior Accountant to join our small team three days per week.

This is an ideal opportunity for an accounting student, recent graduate or junior accountant who wants genuine hands-on experience and the opportunity to develop across a broad range of accounting and taxation work.

You'll work directly with the owner and senior accountant and gain exposure to individual and business taxation, BAS, payroll, trusts, SMSFs and client advisory work.

As a small practice, you'll also learn how an accounting firm operates from start to finish — including client communication, workflow, document management and compliance.

We aren\'t looking for someone who already knows everything. We\'re looking for someone with the right attitude who wants to learn.

Fenway Accounting is a growing accounting practice in the Sutherland Shire, and we\'re looking for a motivated Junior Accountant to join our small team three days per week.

This is an ideal opportunity for an accounting student, recent graduate or junior accountant who wants genuine hands-on experience and the opportunity to develop across a broad range of accounting and taxation work.

You'll work directly with the owner and senior accountant and gain exposure to individual and business taxation, BAS, payroll, trusts, SMSFs and client advisory work.

As a small practice, you\'ll also learn how an accounting firm operates from start to finish — including client communication, workflow, document management and compliance.

We aren\'t looking for someone who already knows everything. We\'re looking for someone with the right attitude who wants to learn.

The role

Initially, your responsibilities will include a combination of junior accounting and client/practice support, including:

• Assisting with preparation of individual income tax returns

• Preparing BAS and basic bookkeeping work

• Assisting with payroll and related compliance

• Assisting with preparation of financial statements and business tax returns

• ATO and ASIC administration

• Preparing and sending client documents for electronic signature

• Preparing invoices and processing client payments

• Managing client documents and electronic filing

• Following up clients for information and outstanding documents

• Communicating with clients by phone and email

• Assisting the accounting team with workflow and ensuring jobs continue moving through the practice

As your skills and confidence develop, we expect the role to progressively involve more accounting, taxation and direct client responsibility.

About you

We're particularly interested in finding someone who is:

• Currently studying or recently completed an accounting or business-related degree

• Organised and able to manage multiple tasks

• Reliable and takes ownership of their work

• Friendly, confident and comfortable communicating with clients

• Accurate with strong attention to detail

• Comfortable asking questions and keen to learn

• Confident with technology and learning new software

• Happy to work across both accounting and administrative tasks

• Someone who takes initiative rather than always waiting for the next task

• Interested in developing a long-term career in accounting

Previous experience in an accounting practice would be helpful but is not essential.

Experience with HandiSoft, Xero, MYOB, BGL360 or DocuSign would be an advantage but is not required.

Why join Fenway Accounting?

You'll be joining a small team where you'll work closely with experienced accountants rather than being limited to one narrow area of accounting.

You'll have the opportunity to gain practical experience across:

Individual Tax

• Business Tax
• BAS
• Payroll
• Trusts
• SMSFs
• Client Services

We offer:

• 3 days per week with some flexibility around days

• Sutherland Shire location — avoid the CBD commute

• Direct mentoring and training

• Broad exposure to real client work

• Opportunity for increased responsibility as your skills develop

• Support for university commitments where applicable

• A role that can grow with you over time

Remuneration: $30–$35 per hour + super, depending on experience.

If you\'re looking to start or develop your accounting career in a supportive small-practice environment where you\'ll get genuine hands-on experience, we\'d like to hear from you.
