What does the role involve?

  • Flexibility to use up to 7.5 hours of unpaid study leave per week to attend your tertiary classes and paid study leave to prepare for exams and internal assessments
  • Taking up to five papers per year so that students can achieve a good balance between work, study and social time. Therefore take a little longer to finish your degree

What’s in it for me?

  • Assist in either the preparation of annual accounts and tax returns or monthly management work, initially with a focus on smaller and more straightforward clients (including tasks like data entry, spreadsheet work, drafting accounts etc)
  • Respond to client queries and assist the compliance team in managing client relationships (Income tax, GST and other indirect taxes)
  • Attend in-house/other training, build knowledge in use of professional accounting software
