A Business Services Accountant carries out financial management duties for a range of businesses, usually focusing on taxation issues. You might prepare financial reports and help businesses submit tax returns. Business Services Accountants may provide taxation advice or make recommendations on managing tax requirements.
Business Services Accountants should be good with numbers and have strong attention to detail. It’s important that you are organised and can manage multiple clients at one time. Business Services Accountants should have strong communication skills and be able to liaise with clients from a range of backgrounds.
In Australia, a full time Business Services Accountant generally earns $1,340 per week ($69,680 annual salary) before tax. This is a median figure for full-time employees and should be considered a guide only. As you gain more experience you can expect a potentially higher salary than people who are new to the industry.
The number of people working in this industry has grown strongly in recent years. There are currently 205,700 people employed as an accountant in Australia and many of them specialise as a Business Services Accountant. Business Services Accountants may find work across all regions of Australia.
