Are you ready to connect with your true potential?
  
At Nexia, we don’t just talk about it. We nurture it. Cultivate it. Unlock it. We bring it to life, not just for you, but with you. That’s the promise we make to our clients, and it’s the same promise we make to our great people. We do this because we believe in pushing the boundaries of personal potential and helping our people leave their mark on the world.
  
While we’re in the business of accountancy and advice, we’re actually in the business of people—because we believe that when great people are aligned, great things happen. We are incredibly proud of our values-based culture – prioritising our values over profit margins to make a positive impact.
  
The role
  
We are currently looking to expand our team and provide a fantastic opportunity for a first year university student or high school leaver who is excited about building a long-term career at Nexia. 
  
Our Cadetship experience will provide you with the opportunity to work with a diverse range of clients in a variety of industries, gaining valuable exposure to hands-on learning while completing your accounting degree. Our team of accounting experts will mentor and provide guidance throughout your career, both technically and socially.

This is a full-time position, 8:30 am - 5:00 pm Monday to Friday, commencing in January / February 2025 and your studies will need to fit around your work schedule.
  
Specifically, some of the tasks that you will be trained in and eventually take ownership of include:

  • completing basic to large tax returns;
  • completing relevant schedules and working papers;
  • calculating capital gains and losses;
  • checking and forwarding assessment notices, provisional tax notices, and variations;
  • processing transactions via the appropriate accounting system;
  • completing accounts to the review stage, ensuring all balance sheet items are reconciled and an analytical review is performed for profit and loss statements; and
  • prepare, calculate, and reconcile asset registers and depreciation

  • have completed your year 12 HSC by the end of 2024; or

In addition, you will:  

  • Be an enthusiastic team player;
  • Exhibit excellent social and communication skills, both verbally and written;
  • Be organised and take ownership of your responsibilities;
  • Have a positive, helpful, and solution-driven mindset; and
  • Have excellent attention to detail
