At RDA, We Do
Accounting Differently…

Then again, every accounting firm and their dog
claim the same, don’t they?

That’s why we confidently stand behind our success and let the numbers talk. Since 2013 we’ve expanded from a small, family-run firm into a dynamic business working with exceptional clients around Australia. 

Our business has grown by 700% in the last 10 years, though you won’t find us on every list of “Fastest Growing Business” awards (even if we have won a few) because we’re not looking for the limelight. We’d rather see our clients in the limelight instead.

At RDA, we believe building businesses starts by building trusted relationships. That’s why we continue to grow and why we’re searching for more exceptional team members to help more clients.

We Help Clients Make Better Decisions,
Run Better Businesses & Live Better Lives

At RDA, we’re on a bold mission to provide a better life to our clients. We believe
that if we provide our clients with better lives we in turn have better lives.

That’s why we continue evolving and responding to our client needs. We offer an entirely new service to small to medium business owners as well as traditional accounting. We work to deliver a true growth partnership with our clients, not just the traditional fee for service. 

We go beyond a traditional view of accounting to meet compliance requirements, which is of course critical to keeping on track. We see compliance as an important checkpoint on the journey, it’s just not the destination most of our clients are working with us to achieve. We seek out hungry, passionate people who can blend their experience, knowledge and expertise to deliver our clients an unfair advantage.

By enhancing the business and financial literacy of clients in understanding the drivers behind their business, we help open up a world of new possibilities for them whether that means increasing revenue, improving operational efficiencies, or simply delivering greater business success. In doing so we open new challenges, new work and new problems to help solve. 

Our focus is to help our clients work on their business, not feel trapped working in it. By focusing on the big picture, beyond tax returns or BAS compliance, we build long-term relationships that support our clients’ business objectives and drive sustainable growth. 

As part of our team, you will be surrounded by great people who aren't happy with being "normal", there are infinite career/life development opportunities available to our great team and most importantly a clear vision.

"If you relate to our values and get excited
about the thought of making a difference to
the people you work with then you'll be a
welcome addition to the RDA"

What I love the most about working at RDA is that no two days are the same, so you’re never really put in a box and there’s space for creativity. I have received a lot of support in navigating through never-before-seen challenges which allows me to design the best solution to a problem.

You Didn’t Get Into Accounting to Become Just Another Cog in a Machine

At the same time, we know *exactly* what the accounting industry can be like…

The larger firms are often regarded as industry leaders but what happens when you bring your unique perspective and skills to these major players? Do you risk being swallowed by the needs of corporate self-interest? 

How would it feel to use your skills and knowledge to make a genuine difference while advancing your career and taking home the satisfaction of being part of a winning team?   

Let’s Get Started
SIDE-BY-SIDE

Traditional Accounting Firms vs. RDA

Spot the Difference

RDA

  • You work with our clients to ensure they benefit from working with us, no red tape slowing you down.
  • Your ambition will only be limited by your ability to learn/grow/develop. We are a growing business, that means opportunities to step-up are always emerging.
  • Your ability to take advantage of professional development comes alongside working with a great team with great clients.
  • Work in a modern team, with modern offices and modern clients.

Traditional
Accountants
ROLES

  • You’re stuck in an “hourglass” model between directors/partners and clients which causes delays, miscommunications, and frustration.
  • You've got ambitious goals for your career, but you need someone to move on or retire before you get a chance to move up.
  • Your ability to take advantage of professional development is guided by others.
  • There’s an end goal, and your path is restricted to ensure you stay within the system and work inside a well-defined box. 

Who Are We Looking For?

We are seeking passionate, value driven
professionals who don't just want a job. We want to speak with people who want to build a life.

Be it tax compliance, tax knowledge, or project management; ideally holding a CA or CPA qualification. 

Experience drawing from diverse backgrounds is also favoured to ensure our team is well-rounded and delivers the best possible service to our clients.

We have a team of dedicated accounting specialists who are well supported and trained by some of the best tax brains in the industry. Not all roles are client facing, if you love doing high quality accounting work we have a great home for you.  

Before you hit ‘Apply’, let’s see if you
match up to our core values:

You think, “My skills and
knowledge could help in
a more meaningful way.”

You’re a natural-born problem solver able to see and think outside the box

You value and can build trust (trust is at the heart of everything we do)

You genuinely care about work and strive to have the greatest impact

You place a high value on and strive for personal and professional growth

You thrive in a collaborative environment and enjoy being part of a team

If you think "this is me" we would love to hear
from you, so please send us your details so we
can have a confidential discussion.

Have a Look at Why Our
Clients Appreciate Our Work So Much

As a member of RDA, you’ll be a part of a team making this kind of

impact on the businesses and lives of people who trust and value us.

“Partnering with RDA has been a transformative experience for my business. Their fresh perspective from an outsider’s point of view has been invaluable in steering my company towards growth.

Without RDA, I’d still be confined to a small-business mindset. Their involvement has propelled me into a new realm of thinking, one that aligns with the vision of a larger business. The most significant impact Nathan has made is helping me recognize where my true value lies within the business and how to allocate my time effectively.”

Ben Rijnbeek

“Escaping the shackles of being a 100-hour-a-week slave and constantly wrestling with challenges is a feeling beyond words. When business headaches pop up, RDA steps up as a dedicated problem-solver by your side. They share your vision for an efficient, effective business. Best of all, this pursuit of efficiency isn’t just about healthy margins – it’s about reclaiming time, and ultimately, freedom.”

Kolbi Whittaker

“Choosing to join forces with RDA stands as the most important decision I’ve ever made for my business. I shudder to think of the alternate reality if I hadn’t made that shift. Nathan has not only become a trusted advisor but a mentor. Our relationship has fostered this, but it’s also a testament to Nathan’s approach and the genuine investment he makes in his clients’ success.

Over the span of just 18 months, they’ve played an integral role in propelling our business to new heights. 
The difference between where we were and where we are now is night and day. Without RDA, I’d still be navigating uncertain waters and buried under stress. The pursuits I cherish and the life I envision for myself would likely remain distant dreams, if they materialized at all.”

Andrew Monks

Administration Manager

Bio

A passionate administration professional who thrives to deliver nothing less than excellence in everything that I do. Completed a degree in Bachelor of Business Management in pursuit of my ambitions and am now devoted to learn, improve and grow with RDA and our clients. I enjoy building rapport with all and will always welcome you with a big smile.

I value spending time with my family, my dog and my friends. In my spare time I also enjoy baking and work on self-care.

Buster

Manager- First Impressions

Bio

Having been an office dog since I was 12 weeks old, I really love the office life. I get to meet a diverse range of people and be around people all day. I provide support at some strategic review meetings when there is no substitute for dog therapy. My key achievement is training a local postman to bring in a dog treat for me when he delivers the mail. He hasn’t worked out that I am too efficient with my energy to chase him. However, we both have a healthy respect for each other’s stereotypical roles. Outside of office life, I love the outdoors and am very fortunate to live close to the Adelaide Hills, which on a weekend I can be found claiming as my own.

Hamish Burns

Assistant Client Manager

Bio

I am an ambitious young accountant who is focussed on building my skills, knowledge & experience in accounting and finance. I have a genuine passion for empowering small businesses to  thrive. I enjoy tackling complex financial scenarios head-on, seeking to implement practical and effective solutions. I maintain a calm and composed demeanour with a keen attention to detail that I believe gives clients confidence in what we do together. I am currently completing my studies to become a Chartered Accountant.

Outside of the office, I love staying active by playing football and basketball. I also value quality time with friends and family, cherishing those meaningful connections that are complementary to my professional pursuits.

Assistant Client Manager

Bio

I’ve been with RDA since I graduated with a Bachelor of Business and Legal Studies. I’m passionate about the underlying numbers and business improvement. I am always keen to help a client overcome a challenge and work towards learning and improving. I’m passionate about business improvement and optimising performance through efficiency gains. I have found myself doing complex business scenario modelling for client decision making, which I am really enjoying. I enjoy the human aspects of how we work with the people our clients grow with. Whether it’s implementing a new system into your business, or optimising an existing one, I love to solve complex problems and making your business work for our great clients. Outside of work I enjoy staying active, by going to the gym and playing hockey. I like spending time outdoors with friends and to balance life out I also appreciate some indoors time playing video games.

Empowering people to grow in business is why I took over RDA in 2013. Having enjoyed a diverse working background between Australia and the UK, I’ve had the privilege to work with brilliant minds and learn a lot of corporate business tricks. I love working as a team to give small business owners get a competitive advantage.

In my “thinking time” I enjoy being around fellow motorsport enthusiast, tennis players and golfers. I value learning and evolution. With a curious mind, I actively look for opportunities to grow and learn about new skills and gain knowledge from people who are exceptional in their chosen pursuits.
