About

SUMMARY Clarum Accounting is not a standard, reactive firm—we are a modern, rapidly growing advisory business dedicated to solving the real-world financial problems of established Australian SMEs (Turnover: $1−$5M). We focus exclusively on management accounting, budgeting, forecasting, and detailed cash flow management to help our corporate clients succeed. Technical & Management Accounting Month-End Assurance: Rigorously review and finalise month-end procedures to ensure the complete accuracy of financial statements prepared by the bookkeeper. Forecasting & Reporting: Lead the preparation of critical client deliverables, including detailed cash flow statements, budgets, and financial forecasts. Advisory Support: Provide dedicated support to the Principal Advisor/Partner by performing necessary due diligence, analysis, and legwork required to prepare high-level strategic advisory reports. Project & Task Management: Utilise strong project management skills (ideally with Karbon or similar software) to plan, prioritise, and manage the workflow and deliverables of the supporting bookkeeper team. HIRING PROCESS (Stage 1) Due to the strong requirement for client-facing communication skills, Stage 1 of our application process requires: Your current Resume/CV. A Video Cover Letter (1-3 minutes). This is a mandatory opportunity for us to assess your communication style before an interview. Please use this video to succinctly cover: Why you are passionate about this role at Clarum Accounting. Your relevant Australian accounting experience. Your direct experience in management accounting (budgeting, forecasting, etc.). Specific examples of your account management and client-facing skills. We're looking for an autonomous and passionate Senior Accountant to join our team. This permanent role is initially 4 days a week with a clear pathway to 5 days based on your performance and our rapid growth. If you thrive on fixing distressed businesses, enjoy strong client relationships, and want to be part of a non-boring, proactive firm, this is your opportunity. This is a key leadership position: you will oversee the work of a dedicated bookkeeper and report directly to a Principal Advisor/Partner, acting as the primary financial liaison for a dedicated client book.
