Operations & Administration Officer
JOB DESCRIPTION
Signor Chartered Accountants
$70,000 – $90,000 per year
Signor Chartered Accountants is a progressive accounting firm committed to delivering exceptional client service through innovation, teamwork, and operational excellence. Our success relies not only on technical accounting expertise, but also on the strength of our internal systems and workflow management.
We’re seeking an Operations and Administration Officer to play a key role in managing and improving the firm’s operational processes. This position is ideal for someone with solid accounting knowledge who enjoys problem-solving, process improvement, and helping teams work efficiently.
You’ll use your accounting background to support the smooth flow of work across the firm—ensuring client engagements are managed effectively, deadlines are met, and systems are optimised for performance and accuracy.

Key Responsibilities
· Oversee and coordinate workflow across the firm’s accounting and advisory teams.
· Monitor job progress, deadlines, and client deliverables using practice management systems.
· Develop and refine internal procedures to improve efficiency and service delivery.
· Assist with reporting, capacity planning, and workload forecasting.
· Liaise between accounting staff, partners, and administrative teams to resolve process issues.
· Support the implementation and optimisation of accounting software and workflow tools.
· Develop and enhance customer relationship skills.
· Be proactive and a valued contributing member of the team.
Ideal Candidate
· Degree-qualified in Accounting, Commerce, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
· Strong understanding of accounting processes, documentation, and compliance principles.
· Excellent organisational and analytical skills.
· Proactive communicator who enjoys streamlining operations and improving systems.
· Experience with accounting practice management software (e.g. Microsoft Office, FYI, Xero, Class Super, and Business Fitness Active) ) is highly regarded.
· Ideal for someone from an accounting background looking to move into a firm operations or management pathway.
Why join us
· Be part of a forward-thinking accounting firm with a collaborative culture.
· Contribute meaningfully to how the firm operates and grows.
· Flexible working hours.
· Competitive salary and ongoing professional development opportunities.
· Enjoy variety—no two days are the same.
· Benefit from a full amenity workplace with great harbour views.
