We are a growing accounting firm specializing in Australian taxation and bookkeeping services. We provide comprehensive financial support; including GST compliance, payroll, and financial reporting to a diverse portfolio of Australian SMEs. We are seeking a motivated Accounts Trainee to join our team in Lahore to support our Australian-based clients.

About the Role

As an Accounts Trainee, you will gain hands-on experience in the Australian accounting ecosystem. You will assist the team with day-to-day bookkeeping, focusing on maintaining "audit-ready" records in accordance with Australian accounting standards.

• Reporting: Help prepare Year-End Workpapers and financial statements in line with Australian standards.
• Client Liaison: Communicate professionally with Australian clients to request missing information or clarify transaction details.

About You

• Education: ACCA Finalist or Qualified.
• Experience: 0–1 year of experience (Fresh graduates with a strong interest in AU Tax are highly encouraged).
• Technical Skills: Proficiency in MS Excel. Prior exposure to Xero, MYOB, or Receipt Bank (Dext) is a significant advantage.

• Communication: Excellent written and verbal English skills, suitable for interacting with Australian business owners.
• Attributes: High attention to detail (essential for AU compliance) and a proactive approach to learning new software.

What We Offer

• Specialized Training: Deep-dive training into Australian accounting legislation and ATO compliance.
