I run a growing construction business in Australia and I’m looking for an experienced Xero-savvy accountant who can step in and take full control of our books. Your first priority will be to dive into Xero, identify and fix the existing reconciliation discrepancies, and bring every account back into line with ATO requirements. From there, I need you to keep the file pristine with ongoing financial management, timely BAS preparation and lodgement, accurate company tax returns, and end-to-end GST and PAYG compliance. Day to day, you’ll handle payroll and super, ensure every transaction is coded correctly, and deliver clear financial statements so I can make informed decisions. Registered Tax Agent or BAS Agent status is strongly preferred—you’ll be liaising directly with the ATO on my behalf, so experience with Australian accounting standards and construction-sector nuances is essential. I value clear, proactive communication and ownership of results. If you’ve performed similar full-service engagements for Australian clients, I’d love to see brief examples or references. Start your proposal with “ATO” so I know you’ve read the brief. Looking forward to partnering with a professional who can keep our finances rock-solid while I focus on building projects.
