Carrick Aland Careers

Make a difference to Qld’s farming and family businesses

About Us

Multi-award winning Carrick Aland rural and business financial specialists are one of the region’s oldest professional services firm with offices in Dalby, Chinchilla and Toowoomba. We aim to leverage technology and knowledge to create value for the benefit of our clients, our people and the broader community.

Community is at the heart of everything we do and we actively practice community leadership through volunteering, holding honorary leadership positions or by sponsoring deserving causes. We work with a number of local organisations and proudly sponsor the Dalby Chamber of Commerce & Industry’s Exceptional Service Awards.

With a team of over 30 people, our open and friendly culture encourages you to explore and share new ideas, whilst building a successful individual career at your own pace.

We are always looking for bright minds that have career aspirations. We offer excellent professional and personal development opportunities to build a career that suits you and allows you to work with and learn from our professionals.

One decision, a lifetime of opportunity

As a Cadet, you typically combine work with university studies. Taking this approach takes drive and commitment, but we will provide you with the support you need to succeed.

Whilst we have always been primarily known as “accountants”, we are certainly able to create broader opportunities across other areas of our whole business including Tax Services, Business Advisory, Financial Planning, Self-Managed Superannuation (SMSF) and Audit, offering a diverse range of career opportunities.

We enjoy being able to teach our business and farming clients how to use and make the most of technology. Helping them proactively identify key issues sooner, taking action and allowing more time to investigate ‘why’ rather than just crunch numbers is how we help them to operate on the front foot.

So, if you are looking for a challenging and rewarding career, watch our Careers page which we update with positions that are available across our business.

What are we looking for when recruiting?

Yes, our standards are high, but we’re interested in you as a person, not just an academic record.

Put simply, we are looking for talented people. Team players who are also innovative thinkers; people who relish the challenge of solving problems and those who can communicate their ideas with conviction and passion. People who keep on learning, who want to be at the leading edge of their chosen profession and, importantly, who want to make a difference.

How we recruit

Once a role becomes available, you can apply online. Our recruitment team and managers will review your application and decide whether your individual skills match our requirements.

If your application is successful you will be contacted by a member of the recruitment team and asked to come to our office for a formal interview.

Our interview panel will ask you questions about your life, your time at school, your extra-curricular activities and any work experience you have acquired. You do not have to do any advance preparation for your interview.

No matter what subjects you studied at school, Carrick Aland welcomes all applicants to apply. In assessing an application, we review your academic results, work experience, evidence of leadership and team experiences as well as your level of involvement in school, social and/or community life.

Staff Testimonials

Daniel Bartkowski

Client Manager

“I have been working at the firm since 2006, after finishing high school. In that time I have learned a lot about the accounting industry, which has helped me to grow as an accountant and as a person. During my time here I have been studying to earn my Bachelor of Commerce (Accounting & Finance). Carrick Aland has always allowed me the flexibility to have the time to study, and supported me with any difficulties in my study.”

I enjoy working at Carrick Aland as the firm gives me the opportunity to advance my career, and the culture and values the principals have ingrained into the firm are positive not only for staff but also for clients.

Shakira Elliott

Tax Preparer

“I have worked at Carrick Aland since 2011, following four years working as a teacher. I know I made the right decision to move into the field of accounting when I began work at Carrick Aland Accountants. The partners are very supportive and flexible, as they have allowed me the opportunity to find a good balance between work and study. The work is challenging, interesting and enjoyable, and just as importantly the firm culture is personal and warm.”
