- Support that helps you grow
Too many accounting roles rely on sink‑or‑swim learning, vague expectations, and feedback that only arrives when something goes wrong. We’ve deliberately chosen a more supportive approach.
- What we can do for you and your career
We know that talented people want more than a job title. They want momentum, clarity, and room to grow.

Acctivate Perks Policy
Flexible Start and Finish Times
We offer flexible hours to help you work when you’re most effective:
– Start between 7:00am and 9:00am
– Finish between 3:30pm and 5:30pm.
You have autonomy to plan your day, you just need to keep your directors informed.
Hybrid Work Model
We value both collaboration and focus. Once you’re fully onboarded and have sufficient workload, for a full-time employee your work model can be as follows:
– Work from home: Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday
– Work in office: Monday and Wednesday.
This is optional, if you prefer to work in the office, you can work full-time in the office. Once this is locked in, it will remain this way until approved by your director. This hybrid work model is also available to part-time employees subject to your days of work.
Half-Day Fridays
Full-time team members can choose to finish at 12:00pm every Friday by working an extra 30 minutes Monday to Thursday. This is optional, if your personal life doesn’t fit around working that additional 30 minutes, you can work a full day Friday. The ability to work less hours on a particular day or a half-day is available for part-time employees on a pro-rata basis commensurate with the hours and days of work.
Monthly Team Lunch
5 Weeks Annual Leave
We encourage rest and recharge through the provision of 5 weeks of annual leave (pro-rata if you work part time). This comprises the standard 4 weeks of annual leave per year entitlement under the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) plus an additional week of annual leave. This additional week of annual leave is a separate and additional entitlement to the standard 4 weeks of annual leave per year based on each year of service.
The additional week of annual leave will be credited at the commencement of each financial year and must be taken within the financial year that it is granted as otherwise it will expire. It does not accrue from financial year to financial year.
This annual leave entitlement ensures everyone takes breaks and avoids burnout.
Birthday Leave
Take your birthday off with full pay:
– If it falls on a weekday, that’s your day off
– If on a weekend, take the Friday before or Monday after.
No Timesheets
Dress for Your Day
Our dress policy is practical and respectful:
– Client-facing days: smart casual/business attire
– No-meeting or remote days: wear what’s comfortable. Please ensure you have business shoes and jacket at your desk in case a last-minute meeting arises.
Modern, AI-First Tech Stack
We are a Xero-only firm using the latest tools in:
– AI-powered accounting
– Workflow automation
– Integrated app ecosystems.
We invest in tech so you can focus on high-value work.
Professional Development Support
We offer reimbursement for study and professional membership fees as well as study leave.
You will be entitled to 2 days of study leave per subject that is undertaken for completion of a Chartered Accountant (CA) Program or ongoing CA course of study. Satisfactory evidence may be required to support that you are enrolled.
We will reimburse you for the following fees:
– CA Program fees
– Ongoing CA or other accounting professional membership fees.
Where you have successfully completed study for a CA Program or ongoing CA course of study or have other accounting professional membership, and paid the required fee, you will be reimbursed for the fee. Satisfactory evidence will need to be provided to support that you have successfully completed this CA study and/or have other accounting professional membership, and paid the required fee.
With this, there will be a clawback of CA/professional accounting course subject fees if you leave within 12 months of completion of that subject.
We’re committed to your ongoing learning and professional accreditation.
Quarterly Social Events
Every quarter, we host a team event to connect, relax, and celebrate progress. These may range from informal outings to shared experiences that reflect our culture and values.
Annual Bring Your Dog to Work Day
Once a year, our office goes dog-friendly! This light-hearted day:
– Happens once per year
– Gives your pup a taste of work life (and us some joy).
Dogs must be vaccinated, well-behaved, and office-appropriate.
Wrapping Up
These perks reflect what matters to us: flexibility, autonomy, connection, and continual growth. They’re designed to support you in building a meaningful and sustainable career at Acctivate.
We’ll regularly review this policy to ensure it evolves with our business and your needs. Have ideas or feedback? We’d love to hear them.
