Intermediate Accountant Australian Tax Multiple Roles Available

A rare specialist career in Australian expatriate tax with an established Australian firm whose preparation team has been proudly based in Ho Chi Minh City since 2015. Please read the requirements below carefully before applying.

Who we are

Expat Taxes Australia is a specialist Australian tax practice, established in 2006, acting for thousands of Australian expatriates in around 115 countries, with 356 five-star client reviews and a strong technical reputation. Our preparation team has been based in Ho Chi Minh City since 2015, is led day to day from within Vietnam by our Tax Managers, and we are expanding the team there.

Our founder lived and worked in South East Asia for over a decade; this is not an offshore back office, it is where our engine lives.

The role

You will prepare Australian individual income tax returns and supporting workpaper files for expatriate clients worldwide. The work is technical and varied: residency positions, foreign income and tax offsets, double tax agreements, rental schedules, capital gains, employee share schemes.

You will work inside a fully documented system: standardised workpapers, step-by-step checklists for each client type, and structured AI-assisted review of your own work before submission. Your first weeks are spent on live files under the direct mentorship of our Tax Manager and Preparation Lead, with formal Australian tax training through the NTAA Tax Schools program arranged as part of your induction (where applicable).

Career path

This is not a dead-end processing role. Preparers progress to senior preparer and, on a transparent, tested pathway, into training, standards and reviewing roles. Our Preparation Lead and both of our Tax Managers rose from within the team. The path is real because we are growing.

What we offer

• Above-average compensation (including 13th month payment), benchmarked to your market and experience, paid reliably by an established firm with twenty years of history.

• Fully remote or hybrid working with flexible hours across the time zones we span.

• Hands-on development in Australian expatriate tax, a genuinely rare and portable specialisation: live-file mentoring from day one plus formal NTAA Tax Schools training.

• Modern systems (Karbon practice management, AI-assisted workflows) and a supportive international team across Australia, South America and South East Asia.

Yêu cầu công việc

Read this first: three requirements

Applications that do not meet all three of the following will not be reviewed. We receive many applications and we read every one that qualifies, carefully. Please respect your own time and ours.

1. A completed or in-progress professional accounting qualification: CPA, ACCA, CA or equivalent chartered pathway.

2. At least two years of professional tax or accounting experience in a firm or corporate environment.

3. Strong written and spoken English. You will read Australian source documents daily, write workpaper notes in English, and interview in English.

How you will learn, and what we do not teach. Prior Australian tax experience is required. Building on your existing Australian tax experience, you learn the Australian expatriate tax layer the way our whole team has: on the job, on real client files, guided by step-by-step checklists and standardised workpapers, and mentored directly by our Tax Managers and Preparation Lead, who teaches every new preparer how to put a job together properly.

We supplement that with formal Australian tax training through the NTAA Tax Schools program. Experience preparing Australian returns (for example in an outsourcing environment) is highly regarded and will accelerate your progression.

What we do not teach is tax or accounting fundamentals or English. Those you bring.

How to apply (this is the important part)

--------

Begin your cover note with the exact words “Green kangaroo”. Applications without this opening will not be read; it is how we confirm you have actually read this advertisement.

Then, in English and in your own words, answer these three numbered questions:

1. Your accounting qualification and where you are up to with it.

2. Any exposure you have had to Australian tax or other foreign tax work (it is fine if the honest answer is none; say so and tell us what you have done instead).

3. Why a specialist career in Australian expatriate tax appeals to you, specifically.

Attach your CV in English.

Generic cover notes, AI-generated applications and applications that skip the questions will not be considered. Shortlisted candidates complete a short paid practical exercise and an interview conducted in English.
