Job description

Rooshock Accounting is a fast-growing, modern accounting firm supporting small and medium businesses across Australia. We're a systems-driven firm that values high quality work, strong client relationships, and doing things properly, not rushing work out the door.

The early focus is on learning our systems, bookkeeping, and the fundamentals of tax compliance, with responsibility added as your skills and confidence grow. You'll be supported by our team throughout and have direct access to the Director.

The intention is that on completing your degree, you transition into a full-time Graduate Accountant role with us. We're looking for someone who values career progression and wants to develop into a future Intermediate / Senior Accountant.
