Why hello you snazzy Accountanting legend!

Thanks for taking the time to check us out! You might be exactly who we’re looking for.

Do you thrive on working directly with clients, managing multi-entity group structures and supporting junior staff? Can you confidently tackle complex tax puzzles while keeping a smile on your face? If yes, keep reading.

We’ve got a cracker of an opportunity for you to hop, skip, and jump into your next chapter - working alongside a bunch of passionate humans who genuinely care about their clients and about each other. We’d be stoked to have you join us and give you the best possible place to grow in this wild and wonderful industry.

But wait, who the hell are we???

We are Illumin8 and we are Accounting for your tomorrow (corny right!?)

At Illumin8, we think outside the box, keep things human, and make sure we have a heap of fun along the way. Work is important, but it’s not life — so we back a healthy work-life balance every day of the week.

Tech is our best mate. We’re fully cloud-based, obsessed with good systems, and help our clients embrace the same.

Our clients? They’re running some of the best Aussie small businesses across creative, e-commerce, trades, hospo, alcohol, and professional services. They’re great people (mostly 😉), and you’ll love the real, meaningful work you get to do with them.

You're going to love the focus and empowerment this role offers; we are going to love that you:

  • Have completed your CA/CPA (or near completion)- whilst wer don't beleiuve letters at the end of your name is the be all and end all, it shows us your comittment to the accounting cause
  • Have minimum 4 years public practice experience
  • Have worked directly with clients and enjoy building strong relationships being the main point of contact
  • Can confidently prepare and review complex tax work and group structures
  • Are tech-savvy - cloud tools and new software excite you
  • Can juggle multiple clients and tasks without breaking a sweat
  • Communicate clearly and work well in a team environment
  • Are keen to support and develop junior staff
  • Bonus points if you have worked with e-commerce clients (Shopify, A2X, Cin7… the whole circus)

On any given day you will:

  • Advise clients on tax, companies, trusts, and partnerships
  • Process more complicated compliance work, as well as review junior team members work
  • Assist clients with insights into business performance
  • Solve complex client problems while keeping them happy
  • Work with a tech stack that makes your future self say “thank you”
    • As well as give support t your clients on the tech they also use
  • Collaborate with the team like a band on tour - learning, celebrating, winning together

We have a slick office in Mornington, hybrid flexibility, and yes - you CAN work remotely some of the time. Whisky bar on-site and a team that actually gets along. You’re welcome.

Ideally, you can come into the office at least 3 days a week - partly to collaborate, partly because the banter is just better in person.

Illumin8 is a fast-growing, award-winning accounting business - Fastest Growing Accounting Firm in Australia, Xero VIC Partner of the Year, Top 100 Coolest Companies in Australia… the list goes on. Go stalk us on socials - we love it.

So hurry up and get in touch with us. We’re dying to meet you!

We're ac-counting on you (Yes, we love the puns).
