Business Support Officer | Public Practice

Are you an administration superstar who thrives on supporting a busy professional team and delivering outstanding client service?

We’re looking for an experienced and proactive Business Services Officer to play a critical role in supporting our accounting team. This is a true administration role—focused on enabling our accountants to do their best work while ensuring a seamless experience for our clients.

This is a key support role within our firm where no two days are the same. You’ll be the backbone of our operations—keeping things running smoothly, supporting accountants, and delivering exceptional client service.

You will:

• Provide high-level administrative support to accountants to keep workflow moving

• Coordinate client jobs, documentation and internal process

• Act as a central point of support between clients and the accounting team

• Assist with lodgements, correspondence, and practice management systems

• Support process improvement and adapt to new systems and technologies
  

We’re not just looking for someone who can follow a checklist—we want someone who understands that great admin support is what allows a professional team to excel. We want someone who can think, adapt, and take ownership.

The ideal candidate will demonstrate:

• Outstanding customer service skills – you genuinely care about clients and put them first

• Proven experience in an administration role (professional services preferred)

• The ability to prioritise and work in a busy, fast-paced environment

• Confidence using systems and learning new technology

• A proactive mindset and willingness to improve processes

At CE Smith & Co we value:

• Kindness and respect in how we work together

• A client-first mindset – everything we do is centered around delivering great outcomes

• People who step up, think ahead and contribute to a better way of working

• Adaptability – we embrace change and continuous improvement

In this role, your impact is clear - you enable our accountants to focus on delivering great outcomes for clients. Without strong administrative support, the team can't perform at its best.

If you are an admin professional who takes pride in your work, thrives under pressure, and genuinely cares about people, we’d love to hear from you.
