Penrith Municipality, Australia HR Success Full time $60,000 - $80,000 per year

· Full-Time opportunity, Penrith-based

· Enhance and grow your real-time accounting skills

· Be part of a flexible, supportive family-friendly team

Who We Are

The Local Accountant is a small but mighty accounting firm based in Penrith, working closely with small business owners, families, and local legends. We're real-time, paperless, and people-first. Our mission is to give clients clarity and confidence with straight-up advice and proactive support all year round — not just at tax time.

We're not about chasing awards or ticking boxes — we're all about real relationships, real-time accounting, and giving people the clarity they need to grow. It's meaningful work, and we love it.

We're growing, and we're on the lookout for a solid accountant who's ready to take ownership of their work, be part of something that's genuinely going places, and have a bit of fun along the way.

What You'll Do

You'll be trusted with managing client work end-to-end, building strong relationships, and delivering quality outcomes that make a real difference. Your day-to-day will include:

  • Managing a variety of jobs across small business clients
  • Preparing tax returns, BAS/IAS, and financials for companies, trusts, partnerships, and individuals
  • SMSF compliance (if you enjoy that kind of puzzle)
  • Xero bookkeeping, reconciliations, and real-time reporting
  • Monthly and quarterly client check-ins with meaningful, proactive advice
  • Helping people — not just "doing the numbers"

About You

You're not just great with numbers — you're great with people too. You take pride in your work, enjoy solving problems, and like being part of a team that's got your back. You bring:

  • Solid previous experience in public accounting practice
  • Strong Xero skills and a love for clean, tidy files
  • Confidence to manage work independently and speak clearly with clients
  • SMSF experience (a bonus, not a dealbreaker)
  • CA/CPA qualified or actively working towards it
  • A genuine drive to help others, grow professionally, and be part of a supportive team

Sound Like the Role for You?

We're not chasing some corporate Holy Grail. We're here to do good, meaningful work for real people — and to enjoy the ride with a team that values relationships, footy, family, and doing the right thing. If that sounds like your kind of place, we'd love to hear from you.
