Abbotts Business Group | Professional Financial Services
Perth
Abbotts Business Group | Professional Financial Services is a small firm (typically 10–50 staff) accounting practice based in Perth. Firms like this typically provide tax compliance, BAS preparation, bookkeeping, financial statements, business advisory, and SMSF administration, serving a mix of individual taxpayers, small businesses, and self-managed super funds. Staff rotate across multiple client files simultaneously — lodgements, financial statements, tax planning, and ongoing compliance work for a regular client base. Interns typically assist with BAS preparation, tax return data entry, and reconciliations under supervision from a senior accountant or manager. You'll be working with real client files from the start.
