In my role as a graduate accountant, I am responsible for the preparation of tax returns and financial statements for small and medium-sized businesses. I also occasionally take face to face client appointments for the preparation of individual tax returns. Further responsibilities include the preparation of Business Activity Statements for clients, bookkeeping, and set up of client accounting software such as Xero.
