Townsville | $70,000 - $140,000 + Super DOE

Hays is partnering with a well-established accounting and advisory firm in Townsville that offers something increasingly difficult to find in public practice: genuine work-life balance, flexibility and a supportive team environment.
Due to continued growth, opportunities are available for accountants from Intermediate through to Manager level. Whether you're building your public practice career or looking to take the next step into a more senior position, this firm offers the support, flexibility and development opportunities to help you succeed.

The Opportunity

Working with a diverse client base, you'll gain exposure to a broad range of accounting, taxation and advisory work while being supported by an experienced and collaborative team.
The role can be tailored to your level of experience, with opportunities available for Intermediate, Senior, Supervisor and Manager-level accountants.

About You

• 1+ years' experience in an Australian public practice accounting environment
• Experience preparing financial statements and tax returns
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills
• A positive and proactive approach to their work
• The ability to work collaboratively within a team
• CA or CPA qualifications are welcome but not required.

What's On Offer?

This firm has built a reputation as an employer of choice by offering flexibility, support and a genuinely positive working environment.

• Half-day Fridays every week, giving you an early start to the weekend
• Flexible working arrangements, including work-from-home options
• Additional birthday leave
• Ongoing professional development and mentoring
• Clear career progression opportunities
• Supportive, down-to-earth leadership team
• Convenient suburban office location with dedicated parking
• Competitive salary package aligned to experience
• Sustainable workloads and a genuine focus on work-life balance

Unlike many public practice firms, this team genuinely values work-life balance, creating an environment where people can build successful careers without sacrificing their personal lives.
