About the job

Join a Leading, Tech-Savvy Chartered Accounting Firm

Roseville, Sydney | Full-Time | On-Site Parking | Next to Roseville Station

About Dolman Bateman

Dolman Bateman is an established Chartered Accounting firm with decades of experience providing taxation, business advisory and accounting.

We are a modern, highly technology-focused firm and continually look for better ways to use technology, automation and efficient systems to improve the way we work and service our clients.

At the same time, we have maintained the personal approach of a smaller practice. We value long-term client relationships, practical advice and getting things done properly.

Our team is down-to-earth, supportive and family-friendly. We believe people do their best work when they are trusted to take responsibility, given flexibility when they need it, and recognised for the value they bring to the firm.

Our Roseville office is conveniently located next to Roseville Station, with plenty of on-site parking. This role would particularly suit an experienced accountant living locally on the North Shore who wants to work closer to home and family without the daily commute into the CBD.

The Opportunity

We are looking for an experienced Senior Accountant who can step into a senior role and confidently manage a large and established portfolio of approximately 500 clients and entities.

This is a role for someone who is exceptionally organised, technologically capable and comfortable managing a busy workload with multiple priorities at the same time.

You need to be someone who takes genuine pride in their work. Accuracy, presentation, responsiveness, organisation and following matters through to completion are extremely important to us.

This is not a position where you will be constantly supervised or reminded about deadlines. We are looking for someone who takes ownership, stays on top of their workload and can be trusted to manage clients and responsibilities independently.

For the right person, there is significant opportunity to build a team around you and grow within the firm.

• The ability to take ownership of tasks from beginning to completion
• A high level of personal responsibility and accountability
• The ability to work independently without requiring constant supervision
• A practical, solutions-focused mindset
• The ability to supervise, mentor and eventually build a team around you

Being tech-savvy is essential for this role. We are looking for someone who embraces technology rather than avoids it. You should be comfortable learning new systems, improving processes and using technology to work more efficiently.

Given the level of direct client contact involved, professional-level written and spoken English is also essential.
