• Handle Division 7A calculations and related reporting
• Support preparation of company financials and year-end processes
• Work within Xero and XPM (Xero Practice Manager) to manage workflow and reporting

• Disclose any existing ongoing roles or client work
• Reflect this engagement on their LinkedIn profile (clearly marked as “Independent Contractor”)
