About us
At Curae Law, our mission is simple: We exist to help people simplify and solve legal problems.
We empower our clients to understand their legal problems, the options available to them and to make good decisions; and then to solve them, so they can move on with their lives. We do this through delivering practical, customer-focused services at incredibly high standards.
We are looking for a capable and self-motivated accountant who can work independently, take ownership of their role, and drive financial efficiency within our firm.

Handling bookkeeping for smaller, related businesses and superannuation funds.
Preparing financial reports for the firm and its associated entities.
Completing straightforward tax returns for the firm, superannuation funds, estates, and trusts.
Liaising with external accountants on complex matters to ensure compliance and accuracy.
Managing accounting services for the firm’s clients, including tax returns, ATO lodgements, and estate accounts.
This position is open to full-time and part-time applicants and will be based in our office in the Perth CBD.
