Intermediate Accountant – Graduates & Undergraduates Welcome

Smith Shearer | Esperance, WA

Accounting | Business Services & Corporate Advisory

Full Time (Part Time Considered)


Why you'll love living in Esperance (If you don't already)

Imagine finishing work and, within minutes, sinking your toes into pure white sand or catching a wave in crystal-clear water. In Esperance, your weekends are spent exploring untouched beaches, national parks, and hidden coastal gems, not battling traffic. It's a safe, welcoming community with a laid-back pace, making it the perfect place to raise a family and truly enjoy life outside of work.


A place where your career and lifestyle can thrive

At Smith Shearer, we believe in more than just numbers, we believe in genuine client relationships, quality work, and a supportive team culture. Based in Esperance, we're a CPA firm working with farming families and small businesses across the region.

We're looking for an Intermediate Accountant to join our team, but we also welcome graduates and undergraduates who are keen to start their career in public practice. If you've got an interest in agricultural business, even better you might have grown up on a farm or simply understand the unique challenges and opportunities in this sector.


The role

You'll work side-by-side with an experienced Client Manager who knows the value of being supported early in your career, she was given the same opportunity when she started, and now she's ready to pay it forward.

From the start, you'll have your own portfolio of clients, with guidance every step of the way. You'll also have the chance to work directly with our Managing Director, providing accounting support for unique, high-level advisory work like estate and succession planning for large family groups.


We'll support your growth

  • Study support for CPA/CA programs or postgraduate study
  • Regular professional development and in-house training
  • Career progression tailored to your strengths and goals
  • A culture of work-life balance, we don't believe in long hours or weekends as the norm

What we're looking for

We hire for culture first, skills can be developed. We'd love to hear from you if you:

  • Have strong attention to detail and a methodical approach to work
  • Enjoy working in a team and contributing to a positive, supportive environment
  • Communicate clearly and professionally with clients and colleagues
  • Are curious about business and committed to building your career in public practice
  • Bring knowledge or interest in agriculture (highly regarded, but not essential)

Experience in public practice is an advantage, but not essential for grads or undergrads, full training is provided.


The practical bits

  • Location: Esperance office
  • Hours: Full-time preferred, part-time considered
  • Flexibility: Some work-from-home available after 6 months of training
  • Software: Xero, MYOB, Agrimaster, and others, we'll train you

Why join Smith Shearer?

We're known for our big-firm capability with a small-firm personality. That means you'll have access to interesting and challenging work, with the support of a close-knit team who genuinely care about each other and our clients.

Our two firm-wide goals are simple:

  1. Client Service — always delivering what clients need, when they need it, at the right skill level
  2. Work-Life Balance — doing great work during work hours so we can all enjoy life outside the office
