As a SMSF Accountant, you'll be responsible for supporting the preparation and maintenance of accounting records for Australian SMSFs. You'll work hands-on with Class and Cloud Offis, reviewing financial information, completing reconciliations, preparing workpapers, and supporting SMSF financial statements with minimal supervision.

Success in this role means producing accurate, well-organised SMSF work, identifying discrepancies early, and ensuring files are complete and ready for review within required timelines.

What You'll Do

• Prepare and maintain accounting records for Australian SMSFs.

• Complete SMSF accounting work using Class.

• Prepare and maintain Cloud Offis workpapers.

• Perform relevant reconciliations and investigate discrepancies.

• Assist with the preparation of SMSF financial statements and supporting accounting documentation.

• Review workpapers and supporting documents for accuracy and completeness.

• Maintain accounting records in line with relevant Australian accounting and SMSF requirements.

• Identify missing information, discrepancies, and unusual transactions and follow these up appropriately.

• Work closely with the broader accounting team to ensure SMSF files are completed accurately and on time.

• Maintain organised documentation to support the preparation and review process.

• Manage multiple SMSF files and competing deadlines effectively.

What We're Looking For

• Practical, hands-on experience in Australian SMSF accounting.

• Strong experience preparing SMSFs using Class.

• Experience working with Cloud Offis workpapers.

• Good understanding of Australian SMSF accounting processes and requirements.

• Strong attention to detail and accuracy.

• Ability to review financial information, identify discrepancies, and resolve or appropriately escalate issues.

• Strong organisational and time-management skills.

• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills.

• Ability to collaborate effectively with an Australian and/or offshore accounting team.

Nice to Have

• Experience working with an Australian accounting or professional-services firm.

• Experience preparing SMSF financial statements and associated workpapers.

• Familiarity with Australian accounting practices and workflows.

• Experience supporting multiple SMSF files in a deadline-driven environment.

Why This Role

This is an opportunity to join a multidisciplinary Australian professional-services group and build specialised experience in Australian SMSF accounting. You'll work directly with industry-specific systems such as Class and Cloud Offis, giving you meaningful responsibility for SMSF files while working closely with a broader accounting team.
