We are looking for a Senior Accountant that is excited about the below Mission and Outcomes. Mission: As a Senior Accountant in our Australia team, your mission is to support SME clients with their accounting matters, enabling growth and decision making. More specifically you will deliver accurate BAS lodgements, maintain clean financial records, and provide clients with clear, actionable financial insights. We’re looking for an excellent communicator who thrives on being the go-to person for clients’ accounting needs, offering support, clarity, and confidence every step of the way. Outcomes: Prepare and lodge accurate Business Activity Statements (BAS) and Instalment Activity Statements (IAS), ensuring GST and payroll liabilities are reconciled and compliant with ATO regulations. Maintain accurate financial records and full sets of accounts across a portfolio of clients, using cloud systems like Xero and Dext, including fixed asset management, journals, and reporting. Oversee accounts payable and receivable processes, ensuring timely invoicing, collections, payments, and reconciliation of supplier/client accounts. Collaborate with bookkeeping and tax teams to ensure accuracy of transaction recording, ledger integrity, and smooth financial operations. Assist in preparing monthly management accounts and financial reports, offering clients clear insights to support decision-making. Provide payroll support and maintain strong communication with clients, acting as their go-to advisor for day-to-day accounting needs and ensuring adherence to Australian regulatory standards. Manage the client relationship from end to end, providing answers and guidance to Australian SME owners in their day to day operations. Be a business enabler supporting their growth. To do this, you will have a minimum of 4 years experience as an Accountant within an accounting firm, with outstanding client relationship management (both verbal & written). Behavioural fit is also important at Sleek, and we will be looking for candidates that have a proven track record of embodying the below attributes in their recent roles: Ownership: This shows reliability and helps build trust within the team. We move fast and need to know that everyone will see things through to completion and proactively help to get things back on track when challenges arise. Accountability is really important to us. Humility : There is so much we don’t know. Humility allows for open-mindedness to feedback and a willingness to learn from others. It paves the way for collaboration and creates a positive work environment. It is a key ingredient of self awareness and emotional intelligence. Structured Thinking: Our business is complex with many layers (many services, many countries, many cultures). Regardless of whether you’re more analytical or creative in nature, being able to show sound judgement is important to us. It ensures solutions are pragmatic and balance the needs of the organisation, team and customers. Data driven: We are a data rich business with ~15,000 small customers. Each decision we make can impact many more people than we realise - so it’s critical that we use sound data to support our strategies and review the success of our initiatives. Can have tough conversations in a positive way: It’s not a matter of if, but when difficult interpersonal situations arise. Disagreement, conflict and disappointment are a given in a fast moving business where people care about their work. People that proactively have tough conversations with kindness build empathy, trust and great working relationships. Tech + services savvy : We are a tech-enabled services business, automating traditional, manual processes and delighting customers while doing so. You will thrive as someone who understands and is excited by the challenges and opportunities of utilising software to scale a business. Problem Solving : You’ll need to be able to think on your feet as this role requires you to identify, diagnose, and resolve production issues quickly, reducing downtime. You will leverage your strong infrastructure and development skills in post-incident reviews to find the underlying cause of failures and prevent future incidents. Attention to detail: You’ll be managing multiple, complex workstreams from numerous stakeholders. It will be important for you to keep track of everything and notice when information is missing or inconsistent. Excellent listener and clear communicator: We have a variety of nationalities and for many people, English isn’t their first language. For you to excel, you’ll need to be present in your calls and make sure you properly receive and thoughtfully send messages to others in the business. Analytical Mindset: You have a keen eye for detail and a methodical approach to dissecting problems. You excel at analysing complex systems and processes to identify weaknesses and inefficiencies, and your ability to evaluate multiple scenarios enables you to devise the best testing strategies. You apply data-driven decisions to enhance testing coverage and performance metrics, ensuring the highest standards of software quality. Collaboration-Driven: You thrive in a cross-functional team environment, working closely with developers, product managers, and operations teams to ensure alignment on requirements and testing goals. You communicate effectively, advocate for quality throughout the development process, and proactively address potential issues before they arise, fostering a culture of shared responsibility for delivering exceptional software. AI-ready and curious : We live & breathe AI as we develop our own proprietary tools and involve accountants in shaping up the most efficient tools, but there are many more applications to be found and incorporated. We want the candidate to be able to identify additional AI-led applications and be able to ascertain the practicalities of those solutions The interview process The successful candidate will participate in the below interview stages. We anticipate the process to last no more than 3 weeks from start to finish. Whether the interviews are held over video call or in person will depend on your location and the role. Case study A ~60 minute chat with the Hiring Manager, where they will give you some real-life challenges that this role faces, and will ask for your approach to solving them.

Behavioural fit assessment A ~60 minute chat with a member of the HR or leadership team, where they will dive into some of your recent work situations to understand how you think and work. Offer + reference interviews We’ll make a non-binding offer verbally or over email, followed by a couple of short phone or video calls with references that you provide to us. +++++ Requirement for background screening Please be aware that Sleek is a regulated entity and as such is required to perform different levels of background checks on staff depending on their role.
