Our role is to ensure compliance and to remove the burden of financial reporting from our clients. The families we look after are truly grateful for our services and appreciate being freed up to get on with their lives and focus on what matters most.

We are on the lookout for exceptional individuals, who are looking for an opportunity to grow. Individuals with an eye on the future, people who understand that together, everyone, achieves, more.

T&E Accounting is driven by a dedicated team with a clear vision and defined purpose.

Our team is supported by Our Charter and our single rule.

We deliver the right service at the right time for the right reasons for the benefit of all involved.

As long as we have phone and internet, we can deliver our service from anywhere in the world. However, we are a social and success focused team, we enjoy working together and the daily interactions in our Brisbane CBD based office.

The Role:While the role and requirements of being an accountant for clients using Xero is nothing new, the services we deliver are unique and have a profound impact on our clients' lives.

While you will be familiar with the day to day of preparing journal entries, financial statements and the preparation of tax returns for trusts and individuals, the accounting and tax requirements for our clients will be new to you. We do not deal with GST, FBT, Division 7A or provide business advisory services.

We deal with the puzzle of individuals, discretionary spending, care, accommodation, managed investments and share portfolios, to meet the ATO, Centrelink and tribunal reporting requirements. Our systems are well defined and the workflow has a rhythm and is consistent, with each client having their own pattern.

The Opportunity:In this role you will have the opportunity to become the specialist of tomorrow, to expand your knowledge in accounting for special disability trusts, testamentary trusts, tribunal reporting and deceased estates. This role can also be your gateway to becoming a partner in your own firm.

About you:You are passionate about being a part of a team environment and supporting the community. You focus on building trust and you are consistent with your actions so that your clients and team can rely on you.  You have the curiosity of a child and love the question Why? You enjoy puzzles and derive pleasure from a job well done and supporting others.

Key Responsibilities:

· Preparation of special purpose financial statements for trusts.

· Preparation of income tax returns for trusts and individuals.

· Preparation of tribunal reporting for financial matter appointments.
