- Ensure client satisfaction by maintaining high standards of accuracy, timeliness, and communication
- Identify potential improvements in client processes and highlight opportunities for growth or efficiency
About You
- Minimum 8 years of experience in bookkeeping, accounting, or financial management, ideally in a client-facing or review role.
- Prior experience managing a distributed team of professionals.
- CPA/CA qualified or equivalent professional designation preferred
- Experience using accounting software (Xero essential; experience with add-ons like Dext, Hubdoc, or Fathom is a bonus)
- Strong attention to detail and ability to identify and correct errors before work is submitted to clients
- Excellent communication skills—both written and verbal
- Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple deadlines
- Confident working independently and problem-solving with initiative
- A client-centric mindset with a genuine interest in helping businesses improve their financial performance
