Graduate Accountant

Hi there, thanks for stopping by. We're glad to have gotten your attention, but we'll be thrilled when you apply. We're on the hunt for a new member of our team. We're eager to find someone who is passionate about what they do, and is excited for a new journey with our fantastic firm.

About Carbon.
We’re not your average professional services firm. Carbon launched in 2014 with the goal to shake up the industry and change the level of service that small and medium business owners received. We combine all the core business services in the one place (from accounting to bookkeeping to finance to insurance and everything in between), bringing together some of the best experts in the industry so our clients can focus on doing more of what they love.

What it means to be a Carbonite.
Our Carbonites are our best asset, and we’ve grown from a small team of 13 people in a single office in Perth to over 300 Carbonites nationwide, with offices in multiple states. A key element in our plan of world domination is having the best people possible to help us along the way. This is where you come in.  

As our next Carbonite, you’ll be joining a team at multiple levels. You’ll be part of a team in your office, working with other talented people such as yourself. You’ll also be joining our national ranks, meaning you can easily tap into a knowledge base for a tricky question or to bounce ideas off of for the next team activity.

Empowering our Carbonites is a big part of our mission and vision, so we focus on helping our Carbonites learn and grow, developing their careers in the direction that they want to go in.

About the role. 
We know how important real world training and experience is to broaden your skills, so we're looking for a graduate accountant who is ready to get hands on training. Your development is important to us, so you'll have a mentor from day one and join a fantastic team of experts you can learn from.

What you'll be doing:

• Assisting with the preparation of financial statements and tax returns for individuals and small to medium businesses.
• Preparing Business Activity Statements (BAS) and other tax compliance documents.
• Supporting the team with client queries and communication, gradually building your confidence in dealing directly with clients.
• Gaining exposure to different business and trading structures, and learning how they work.
• Assisting with basic tax research and ATO enquiries under the guidance of senior team members.
• Learning the fundamentals of business budgeting, cash flow management and financial reporting.
• Supporting the team with financial analysis and business benchmarking.
• Working with accounting software such as Xero and MYOB to develop your technical skills.
• Getting involved in a range of other accounting tasks and projects as you build your knowledge and experience.

We're looking for someone who:

• Has recently completed a Bachelor of Commerce / Accounting or similar (those with double degrees are encouraged to apply!)
• Is willing to commence either the Chartered Accounting (CA) program or Certified Practicing Accountant (CPA) program.
• Graduating soon? Still apply and we will review your application.

You’ll be perfect for the role if:

• You're eager to get hands on experience in a growing firm,
• You're looking for a firm that will value your development,
• You're on the hunt for a firm with a range of clients so no two days are the same.

Ready to apply?
