Key responsibilities

At the heart of our approach is the belief that our robust, independent audits deliver actionable insights and add substantial value for our clients. We are fiercely independent.

• Independent statutory audit of the financial reports of a wide variety of entities including public listed and unlisted companies, proprietary companies, incorporated associations and other not-for-profit entities and government bodies
• Preparation of complete and accurate audit work papers
• Identifying and reporting on client financial risks
• Using your analytical skills to analyse clients' financial statements and ensure they adhere to statutory requirements
• Research of difficult technical issues and application of issues to clients' circumstances

Skills and experience

We're looking for an agile, responsive individual who brings innovative ideas to the table. Your passion for understanding your clients' businesses will see you go beyond addressing technical issues to developing actionable growth recommendations.
The following attributes are important to the team:

• Experience in a similar Audit & Assurance environment ideally with a sound knowledge of IFRS
