CARBON ACCOUNTANT

Graduates to senior accountants welcome to apply.

“I’m not a regular accountant, I’m a cool accountant” - if you want to proudly make this statement at your next family gathering or social event, it’s time to transition to carbon accounting. You’ll be working on one of the most significant global challenges of our time - how do we decarbonise small and medium businesses?

ER Advisory is a management and sustainability consulting firm based in Tasmania, we provide carbon accounting services through our start-up, Sumday. We’re looking for exceptional accountants with a passion for sustainability and a strong desire to support SMEs in decarbonising their organisations. Carbon accountants support clients to calculate their emissions in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas standards, they also work closely with our analysts to identify opportunities for reducing emissions.

About the Role

You will be provided with training and support to learn at a rapid pace as you transition to the world of carbon accounting. While we all love excel – we communicate data to clients through PowerBi so experience using this will be highly regarded. Our clients are generally not cool Carbon accountants either - so we break complex information down in a way that is meaningful and makes sense to them. A strong ability to communicate effectively with clients is really important.

We’re headquartered in Burnie on the northwest coast of Tassie, if you’re from here or you’re willing to move here, that will be considered highly favourable. While we’re a flexible workplace that will always support our team to work in a way that meets their individual wants and needs - our success is centred around team connectivity and a fast-paced learning environment - something we know is optimised when we have opportunities to work together in person. And don’t be coming at us about Burnie - we’ve got the best cafe in the state (coffee sorted), breweries (one in town and two more nearby), little penguins (can live stream them on YouTube if you don’t believe us) and we’re less than an hour from some of the best outdoor playgrounds in Tasmania (hello Cradle Mountain and Boat Harbour beach).

Culture is everything for us and our values will tell you a lot about who we are, make sure you check them out on our website before applying!

If this sounds like the high impact role you’ve always wanted, we want to meet you! We’re looking for the most passionate people we can find to work on the biggest challenges we have.
