Intermediate Accountant

At MGI Parkinson, we're a Subiaco-based accounting firm built on strong relationships, technical excellence and a genuine commitment to helping our clients, and our people thrive.

We're looking for an Intermediate Accountant (with approximately 2 years' experience) to join our growing team. You'll get hands-on exposure to real clients from day one, structured mentoring from experienced accountants, and a clear runway to build your technical skills and your career — not just tick boxes.

If you're after a firm where you'll be genuinely supported through your CA/CPA studies, given real responsibility early, and surrounded by people who want to see you succeed, we'd love to hear from you.

What you'll be doing

You'll work alongside experienced accountants to support our clients with their taxation and compliance obligations, while building the technical foundation for a long and successful career in public practice.

Your day-to-day will include (but isn't limited to):

• Assisting with the preparation of Financial Statements and Tax Returns for Companies, Trusts and

            Partnerships

• Preparing Income Tax Returns for Individuals, including Sole Traders and family business groups

• Learning the ropes of tax planning strategies alongside senior team members

• Working closely with colleagues to make sure everything complies with current tax legislation and

            regulations

• Getting involved in ad hoc advisory work — think cash flow forecasting, budgeting and business

            performance insights

• Building your client-facing skills and starting to develop your own professional relationships

About you

• A completed degree in Accounting, Commerce or a related field

• 2 years' experience in a public practice accounting firm

• Genuinely curious about tax, business and how companies operate — you ask “why”, not just “how”

• Comfortable working independently but you also love being part of a team that has your back

• Confident communicator, keen to build real relationships with clients and colleagues alike

• A proactive, can-do attitude — you look for ways to add value rather than waiting to be told

• Strong research skills and the drive to dig into technical problems until you understand them

• Ambitious and career-minded, with your sights set on where this role can take you

What we offer

• A structured training program with real mentoring, not just a manual to read

• Genuine support toward your CA or CPA qualification, including study leave and financial support

• Hands-on experience across a diverse range of industries, clients and accounting systems from day one

• A clear, visible career path — we promote from within and want you thinking long-term with us

• Ongoing professional development through in-house training and the wider MGI Australasia network

• A social, down-to-earth team culture where your questions are welcomed, not just tolerated

If you're ready to build real skills, work with great people, and set yourself up for a career (not just a job) in accounting, we'd love to hear from you.
