Accounting Jobs Australia - FAQs

What accounting jobs are available?

Accounting is a broad field with many specialisations and job opportunities. Depending on their degree and certifications, professionals in the accounting sector could pursue roles as auditors, CPAs, financial managers, tax advisors, or business analysts. They provide businesses and individuals with critical services such as tracking and managing finances, creating financial reports, developing strategic plans for the future, auditing records for accuracy and preparing taxes.

A successful candidate will find plenty of hands on accounting experience and career progression working as a full time assistant accountant, financial controller, or working in payroll tax, accounts payable all the way to being a senior accountant.

Accounting has been essential to the success of organisations for centuries. Accountants are finance professionals who provide vital analysis to ensure money is spent effectively, legally, and efficiently. Prospective accountants have the chance to make a lasting impact on anyone from small companies to global conglomerates.

Is accounting a good career?

Accounting careers can be an incredibly rewarding and satisfying choice for anyone with a passion for numbers and problem-solving. Those who pursue a path in accounting can benefit from strong job security, stability, and the opportunity for growth and development within some of the world's most powerful organisations. 

With a diverse range of roles from auditing to financial consulting, there continues to be an abundance of opportunities and hands on experience available in the realm of accounting. 

An accounting degree is one of the most marketable credentials available in today's economy, providing graduates with an auto-pass entry into many specialty fields within finance and business. A bachelor's degree or higher qualification gives you the perfect opportunity to land a permanent full time position in your ideal role.

Is there a demand for accountants in Australia?

Accounting is an important profession in the Australian economy, and there is no doubt that there remains a large and growing demand for qualified accountants in Australia. You’ll find accounting jobs provide plenty of career prospects. 

The emergence of new technologies has only increased the versatility of today’s accountants, who are expected to have knowledge and experience in fields such as data analytics as well as traditional accounting processes.

As more businesses recognise the importance of having an accurate account in their finance team, it is essential for them to employ professionals with proven knowledge and expertise in this area – something that can only be obtained from a successful career in accounting. By understanding these changing trends and the complexity of this field, it is clear that there is a solid demand for competent accountants in Australia.

How much does an accountant earn in Australia?

An accountant's salary in Australia can vary based on a number of factors, such as experience, qualifications and responsibility. Generally, accountants earn quite well in Australia: the average annual salary for an accountant is roughly $80,000-85,000 AUD a year. Those with more experience can expect to earn closer to the higher end of that spectrum depending on the accounting job, potentially even exceeding six figures in some cases.

As Australia's economy continues to grow, many full time accountancy roles are becoming available with increasing salaries and benefits.

With so many options out there, it's clear that accounting remains a lucrative profession for those looking to make sound investments in their future.
