SW Accountants & Advisors Reviews

There is an opportunity to even reach a partner from graduate if you put in the work and time

SW is heavily involved in the CSR program as we have been involved in a few projects like November and CEO sleepout.

The team is supportive, managers are kind and willing to teach and discuss. Partner not only focuses on work, but also care about other things, like career development, and personal development. No one would contact me after hours, which I appreciate.

My company's commitment to diversity is strong as they respect all types of people from different communities and do not discriminate, they give everyone an equal opportunity.

My role is a graduate in the BPCA division. Each day is different, but any day can include the following: - emails and phone calls with clients and colleagues - individual tax returns - Preparation of company and trust financials and tax returns, along with business and instalment activity statements - company secretarial work such as amending officeholder details, issuing or transferring shares or appointing a new director. - Setting up new entities - Calling the ATO and ASIC about queries.

From the beginning, I was perfectly comfortable approaching my managers for assistance. By leading with understanding and compassion, they have become good mentors of mine and I have no issue seeking guidance from them.

The office is the nicest office I have worked in. There is plenty of space and our desks need to be booked on a daily basis. This means nothing is to stay on your desk at the end of the day and doesn't allow for the office to become messy. Most desks are sit/stand desks which is good for people's health. The dress code is fairly standard but is not strictly controlled. People will dress fairly casually on a Friday, but if you have a client meeting you should dress appropriately.

The hiring process was fairly straightforward. After applying for the position, I received a call from our recruitment advisor who asked me several questions. I was lucky enough to receive an interview from my partner. After the interview, I was offered a position with the firm. This was approximately 9 months before starting with SW Accountants & Advisors. They held several meetups with the graduate cohort prior to starting.

I am satisfied with my pay at the moment, as it is higher than general graduate positions. I think my salary reflects the work that I do. I have not received any bonuses, but I have received a $500 clothing bonus which was a good incentive.

We have fortnightly grad technical training which is super beneficial. you are learning in more depth about the work you are doing day to day and different situations that can arise. We also have division-wide training along with tax catch-ups so we stay up to date with any changes in the law and requirements.

SW has been flexible with working arrangements applying WFH a couple of days a week. Hours tend to be typically 7.5 working hours a day.

My company is really sustainable.
