Job description

Senior Accountant – Supervisor to Manager

Senior Accountant – Supervisor, Assistant Manager or Manager

This isn't a typical senior accountant job. You won't just be another name in the org chart. You'll help build the firm.

Inspired Accounting is a young, growing practice in Adelaide's Eastern suburbs. Our clients are great to work with: established business owners in trades and services, transport and construction, farming families, and SMEs going through a growth phase. We run a fully cloud-based, modern tech stack. Our focus is advice that works in the real world, not just ticking boxes at year end.

We're looking for an experienced accountant to take ownership of a portfolio of SME groups across tax, compliance and CFO-style advisory work. You'll also have a real say in how the firm operates. We'll set the title to match your experience, from Supervisor through to Manager.

Why this role is different

Real impact: you'll have a voice in decisions about how we run, including our systems, processes, pricing, the client experience and who we hire next.

A career path built around you: you might want to become a technical tax specialist, grow an advisory portfolio, lead a team or work towards ownership. We'll support you in building the path that suits you.

Flexibility: Full time or part time, Hybrid or in our office.

Great clients: loyal, interesting businesses that value your advice and that you'll get to know well.

Modern tech: cloud-based from end to end, with tools that remove the grunt work so you can focus on the thinking.

A modern office: a newly fitted-out space in Kensington Park in the Eastern suburbs, easy to get to with parking nearby, plus hybrid working.

Look after a portfolio of growing business groups, from preparing the work through to reviewing it and meeting the client

Handle year-end tax planning, Division 7A, trust distributions and structuring advice

Build budgets, cash-flow forecasts and management reports, and run regular meetings with business owners
