Associate Accountant | Day shift - Au client

Build your accounting career in a structured, high-performance team — remote, with clear scope and real ownership from day one.

The Role
What You Will Own
As an Associate Accountant, you are the execution backbone of the Aureus Accounting team. You own the preparation and administration layer that keeps our compliance work running on time, our clients informed, and our Accountants free to focus on higher-value advisory work.

You will not be guessing what to do next. Every function comes with a clear boundary, a system, and a defined escalation path. What we need from you is accuracy, reliability, and the discipline to follow the process consistently.

Compliance & Admin
Prepare ASIC annual reviews and manage all follow-up actions
Process SGC statements, STP transactions, and TPAR filings
Download, organise, and file ATO reports accurately and on time

Bookkeeping & Finance
Provide bookkeeping support as directed by the supervising Accountant
Conduct General Ledger reviews and flag discrepancies
Assist with BAS drafting and follow-up activities

Billing & Client Ops
Raise invoices accurately within approved budgets
Chase accounts receivable and manage overdue follow-up
Set up workpapers and collect outstanding client documents

Experience
5 years prior experience in an accounting, bookkeeping, or professional services support role (preferred).
Exposure to Australian compliance obligations, including ASIC, STP, SGC, TPAR, and BAS.
Experience working within checklist-driven, process-oriented workflows.
Demonstrated ability to manage client follow-up and administrative tasks with accuracy and reliability.

Skills & Competencies
Working knowledge of Xero, Karbon, and XPM — or a demonstrated ability to learn practice management software quickly.
Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite, particularly Excel.
Strong attention to detail — able to produce accurate, error-free work consistently.
Clear written communication — able to liaise professionally with clients and the internal team.
Discipline to follow established systems and escalate appropriately when matters fall outside defined boundaries.
