Senior AU Tax Accountant

This is a remote position.

About the Role

We are a growing Brisbane-based accounting and advisory practice seeking an AU Tax Accountant who can genuinely hit the ground running. This is a fully remote, full-time position working directly with the Principal/Founder across a portfolio of Australian clients.

This is not a junior support role. We need someone with deep, hands-on experience in Australian tax and accounting who can operate confidently as a reviewer, communicate directly with clients, and reduce the Principal's workload from day one.

What we're really looking for — someone who is:

• Technically sharp — you know AU tax compliance cold, without needing to be guided
• A self-starter — you identify and resolve discrepancies before they become problems
• Client-confident — you communicate professionally and represent the practice with trust
• A reviewer, not just a doer — you QA your own work and others' before it goes upward

Key Responsibilities

• Manage full-cycle accounting across multiple client accounts simultaneously
• Perform bank reconciliations, payroll processing, and accounts payable/receivable
• Maintain accurate general ledgers and financial records
• Identify and correct coding errors and system setup issues proactively

• Prepare and lodge Australian company tax returns end-to-end with minimal oversight
• Complete monthly reconciliations: BAS, PAYG, STP, payroll, and superannuation
• Ensure compliance with all Australian tax regulations and ATO reporting requirements
• Prepare workpapers and supporting documentation for all tax filings

• Review accounting work for accuracy before submission to the Principal
• Act as a key reviewer in the doer–reviewer–approver workflow
• Proactively identify discrepancies and resolve issues early — not pass them upstream

• Communicate directly with clients to request documents and clarify information
• Participate in client meetings as a trusted team member
• Deliver clear, professional written and verbal communication at all times

• Assist the Principal and onshore team with higher-level accounting tasks
• Contribute to improving workflows, templates, and internal processes

• Proficiency in Xero, MYOB, or QuickBooks (multi-platform experience preferred)
• Solid command of AU tax compliance: BAS, PAYG, STP, company tax returns, superannuation
• Proven experience as a reviewer in a doer–reviewer–approver workflow

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field (required)
• CPA qualified or equivalent (strongly preferred)

• Excellent written and spoken English — you will engage directly with Australian clients
• Professional, confident, and responsive communication style

• Salary: ₱100,000 – ₱140,000 PHP/month (based on AU tax experience)
• Paid Australian public holidays
• Full Time - Must be available 8 hours per day AEST Hours
