If you're a senior public practice accountant who's technically strong, client-ready, and good with people, this is a role where you can genuinely make a mark — quickly. We're recruiting a Senior Accountant for a well-established Ballarat public practice that's growing fast and needs a steady, capable senior to own a portfolio, lift review standards, and mentor a young team as the firm scales. About The CompanyThis is a 20-year Ballarat-based public practice founded by two hands-on Principals, with consistent double-digit year-on-year growth. The firm has a team of ~33–34 staff (including offshore support) and a young, energetic cohort — average age around mid-20s — with multiple examples of people starting as cadets and progressing into leadership.The client base is mainly owner-led small businesses and family groups, with a strong concentration in trade services (often family trusts and companies, typically 2–3 staff and ~$1–2m turnover) plus a broader SME mix. The style is practical and proactive — not just "get the return out the door." You'll be expected to build relationships, spot issues early, and translate tax into clear, usable advice.Culturally, this is a modern firm compared to the local incumbents — values-driven, progressive, and focused on being 1% better consistently.Values: Professional, Reliable, 1% better, Inclusive, Fun, Trustworthy Think: strong standards, good energy, and leadership support — not "big firm politics."
