  • Take a leading role in developing an understanding of our clients' specific issues and contributing to the development of the appropriate project plan and deliverables to meet their needs.
  • Coach others, recognize their strengths, and encourage them to take ownership of their personal development.
  • Contribute actively to supporting our brand and culture as a high performing team of accounting advisory professionals.
  • Collaborate amongst the team to work flexibly and respond promptly to ad hoc requests by clients, taking ownership of your own portfolio of jobs and clients.

  • Deep Knowledge: Strong understanding of accounting standards, regulatory frameworks (IFRS, US GAAP and ASPE), and market practices governing IPOs, capital raisings, and other transactions.
