  • We see these skills as foundational for a highly successful career with us. We're not looking for traditional sales experience; we're looking for your accounting expertise and your desire to make a difference.

 

What this unique career path offers you:

 
  • Impactful Advisory: You'll be a true partner, consulting with accounting firms to help them embrace cutting-edge digital strategies with the Xero platform.

  • Leverage Your Expertise: Apply your accounting knowledge and industry experience to solve real-world problems for accounting practices, guiding them towards greater efficiency and growth.

  • Relationship-Driven Role: Build deep, lasting relationships with key decision-makers in accounting firms, becoming their trusted advisor on digital strategy.

  • Meaningful Contribution: Be at the forefront of a movement that is modernising the accounting industry and truly making a difference for millions of businesses.

  • Strong Earning Potential: We offer a highly competitive remuneration package, designed to reward your expertise, the value you bring, and your success in driving partner outcomes.

 

Who we're looking for:

 
  • You're an Accounting Professional: Ideally CPA-qualified, or with significant experience in an accounting practice, and a strong understanding of its operations.

  • You're a Natural Relationship Builder: You enjoy connecting with people and are skilled at building rapport and trust.

  • You're Solutions-Oriented: You're a problem-solver who can identify needs and offer practical solutions.

  • You're Curious about Tech: You have an interest in the emerging online accounting market and the potential of Fintech.

  • You're Ready for a New Challenge: You're looking for a change that leverages your existing skills in a new, exciting environment.

 

Is this the career change you've been looking for? If you're an accountant ready to translate your financial acumen into a dynamic advisory role at the intersection of accounting and technology, we encourage you to apply.
