We offer awesome career opportunities

We’re looking for the cream of the crop in the financial planning, accounting and business advisory fields – Do you believe your skills could be utilised to help business and not for profit clients achieve financial and business success?

Kennas is one of Central Queensland’s largest accounting, business advisory and financial planning firms, providing services to clients throughout Central Queensland, Queensland, and across Australia.

We are fast tracking accounting careers and providing incredible learning opportunities, including regular training and monthly mentoring with Partners and senior managers. Our experienced accountants work closely with business and not for profit clients in an autonomous environment, helping solve clients financial and business challenges.

Our goal is to help shape our clients financial and business success from getting started in business, growing the business, to getting out of the business (then our in house financial services team leads our clients in their post business lives).

For you, this could mean unlimited opportunities to work with a diverse range of clients across many industries, including multi-million dollar businesses, high net worth individuals, small business entrepreneurs, wholesalers and distributors, farm businesses, professional services and medical businesses. The types of skills you may need include business advisory, taxation consultancy, financial planning, self-managed superannuation fund advice and administration, auditing and taxation compliance.

The team at Kennas is a vibrant mix of longer-serving staff and younger people. A third of our staff and partners have worked at Kennas for 15 to 35 years – that tells you about our great culture, developed over more than 120 years of continuous operation.

We’re always looking for the brightest accounting minds who want to grow professionally and develop industry leading skills… and we’ll reward the best.

Kennas Partners and senior accountants regularly attend national industry events to ensure we are connected with latest trends and technologies and we have in house IT staff who to help fast track improvements and technology adoption.

We are also an FPA Professional Practice, and we encourage our Financial Planners to achieve their Certified Financial Planning (CFP) status – the highest in the field. Our support includes paid study leave, an extra 2 days professional development leave, purchase of study material, and reimbursement of module costs upon passing of each exam.
