Grant Thornton Australia is one of the world's leading independently-owned and managed accounting, advisory and consulting firms.

Our culture is underpinned by a commitment to our clients, people and communities, and our promise to 'Reach for Remarkable' by providing proven expertise, principled execution, and personalised experience.

In Australia, we're proud to support the careers of over 1,500 remarkable people. With six offices nationally and partner firms in more than 145 markets, wherever you want to go, we can take you there.

About this role

Our Private Business Tax & Advisory (Private Advisory) team is looking for a Senior Associate to join our friendly, supportive Adelaide office.

Business leaders face many challenges throughout the business lifecycle: from managing daily operations, tax and compliance, to navigating a competitive landscape and planning an exit strategy. As part of our 'Reach for Remarkable' brand promise, Grant Thornton's people are committed to providing a strikingly different client experience that is agile, authentic, and personal.

Key responsibilities

Enjoying a meritocratic culture and 'hands-on' work style, you'll be involved in a broad range of activities, including:

  • Preparation of accounts, tax returns, BAS, FBT and payroll tax returns for a broad range of clients, from SMEs to large companies
  • Build and maintain positive working relationships with clients
  • Liaise with clients regarding compliance requirements and assist with tax and accounting advice
  • Monitor and review the work of junior team members and provide development, coaching and mentoring as required

Skills and experience

You will be a caring, conscientious accounting professional who thrives in a client-facing environment. With well-developed analytical and critical thinking skills, you love to approach problems from different angles and with close attention to detail, in order to find innovative, practical solutions.

  • Qualification(s) and / or professional accreditation(s) in a relevant discipline such as Business / Commerce, Accounting or Finance, or other relevant professional or overseas qualification(s)
  • Have attained or commenced a CA qualification
  • Significant professional experience in business and tax advisory within a chartered accounting setting
  • Excellent written and spoken communication skills, with a desire to go 'above and beyond' to delight your clients
  • Highly organised, with the ability to manage competing priorities within a deadline-driven environment

If you're interested in this role but don't feel that you match every single one of our requirements, we would still love to hear from you and explore the unique skillset and attributes that you can bring to the team.

At Grant Thornton we do things differently because we understand that when you strive for better and care about what you do remarkable things are possible. We're a dynamic and authentic mix of backgrounds, perspectives and ways of thinking. We're driven by our shared purpose – we care for our people, clients and communities and support them to thrive.

With us, you'll be exposed to challenging and rewarding opportunities – building your confidence and capabilities at every step. You'll be supported, motivated and inspired by a team of passionate and caring collaborators and leaders. You'll be empowered to build a career path that's tailored to you and encouraged to make a meaningful difference. And we'll make sure the excellence you deliver and the impact you make is always seen, felt and celebrated.

Remarkable perks that put you first:

  • 9-day fortnight with no salary reduction
  • Funded professional membership and study assistance
  • Up to 26 weeks' paid parental leave | paid secondary carers' leave
  • Fully funded gym membership | Health Insurance discounts
  • And many more
