Central Coast Council, Australia Lift Accounting & Advisory Full time
Overview

Join to apply for the Intermediate-Senior Accountant role at Lift Accounting & Advisory

At Lift Accounting, we do more than lodge tax returns - we empower small business owners to understand their numbers, feel in control, and grow confidently. We're a modern, Central Coast accounting firm that values real conversations, proactive advice, and a healthy dose of personality. Our clients trust us not only for our technical smarts but because we genuinely care.

If you're an experienced accountant who's tired of being stuck in the numbers all day and wants to be part of a firm where you matter - then we want to hear from you.

This role is perfect for someone with at least 3 years public practice experience who feels ready to work directly with clients, and grow into a management position, while still enjoying the flexibility and lifestyle that working locally can offer. You'll be supported by a collaborative team, mentored by a senior manager, and encouraged to share ideas that help us improve.

What We Can Offer You
  • A genuine work-life balance - including a 9-day fortnight currently being trialled (and likely to continue)
  • A diverse and loyal client base made up of small business owners
  • A clear path to leadership, with hands-on mentoring
  • A supportive, down-to-earth work culture where curiosity and initiative are valued
  • A competitive salary that grows with you
What You'll Be Doing
  • Working directly with a mix of individual and small business clients
  • Reviewing and finalising work prepared by other team members for all entity types
  • Taking ownership of your own client list and building strong ongoing relationships
  • Having tax planning, compliance, and strategy conversations
  • Meeting deadlines while maintaining high quality and client satisfaction
  • Actively participating in team discussions and contributing to improvements
What You'll Bring
  • 3+ years' experience in Australian Public Practice
  • Confidence to speak with clients clearly and respectfully – no jargon
  • Strong understanding of tax compliance and small business structures
  • Proficiency in Xero, FYI and XPM
  • A proactive, solutions-focused attitude
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • A desire to step into more responsibility and eventually lead a team
Why Lift Accounting?

We're not your average firm. We don't wear suits every day. We don't expect you to work 60-hour weeks. And we don't believe in doing things "because that's how it's always been done."

We do believe in fresh thinking, being human, and creating a workplace that supports your career and your life outside it.

If that sounds like a fit – hit apply now and let's chat.
