BRETT HEADRICK - PARTNER.jpg)
In my student days I would never have imagined joining a firm that would give me the opportunity to work on global transactional engagements worth more than $85 million, or to live in the UK on a client secondment for 18 months.
But that's the JR difference.
Joining Johnston Rorke Chartered Accountants as a graduate was the smartest career move I ever made.
I've gained expertise in taxation, business structuring, GST, superannuation and financial management, and now, I'm proud to say I am a partner of the firm and I'm here to stay.
But I didn't achieve this level of success on my own.
At JR, you have the support of an amazing team of colleagues. In this firm, mentoring is a big deal - not a chore, or an afterthought.
There's a mutal respect between partners and employees. Partner's spend one-on-one time with employees on a daily basis, providing the support, advice and in-depth knowledge needed to tackle CA exams and achieve great results.
You know what they say about all work and no play? At JR we believe that is true. That's why we've created a workplace culture that is socially dynamic.
JR is full of young and vibrant professionals who work hard and play hard - there's sporting teams, golf days, gala balls, charity initiatives, corporate retreats and plenty of opportunity to relax after work and get to know your colleagues.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you would like to know more.
KAREN LEVINE - MANAGER
I began my career at JR in February 1996 after completing a Bachelor of Commerce at U.Q.
The outgoing nature of the staff and the diversity of high calibre clients, provides a fun and challenging working environment. Meeting and talking with your own clients is common place at JR, even as a graduate. The Partners are easily approachable and always willing to share their valuable experience. I have completed the PY and received fantastic ongoing in-house training and support which is integral to your performance in the program. JR has a well struck balance between work and play which ensures my lifestyle is not inhibited whilst I strive forward in my career.
Please feel free to contact me with any queries that you might have about a career at JR.
