The good thingsThe culture at Nexia is second to none. The work is rewarding and you get a lot of client interactions, and there is great communication in the teams.
The challengesThe salary could be higher, but the benefits and opportunities Nexia provides make up for it

A pretty basic accounting firm, needs to get up to speed with the modern world
The good thingsThe direct team I worked with.
The challengesIt's all a facade. Things are so slow and old fashioned. Not progressive at all.

Part of a team
The good thingsI recently started working at Nexia Perth. I love that they looked at my full skills set and my life experience during the interview and employment. They were very focused and mindful of how new personnel fit into the current team.
I am very glad I held out for the right position.
The challengesThe services offered by Nexia Perth are so diverse, it has taken a minute to get my head around how all the parts fit together.

Graduate Accountant
Nov 2020I have a good mentor so my experience has been somewhat okay but i have had to work with other managers and that's when everything starts going downhill.
The good thingsSomewhat friendly co-workers (doesn't include managers). Flexible to an extent.
The challengesMostly the managers - no appreciation for doing good work; blaming the juniors/grads for their own forgetfulness; changing and twisting things to suit a particular situation. Office politics. Some managers are unapproachable as they are always moody but somehow have time to gossip for 30 mins straight.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Nexia
The good thingsThe team I worked with were great! Even though COVID-19 hit, we experienced phone catch ups twice a day that were not all necessarily work focused - a lot of the time they were social, just to have that interaction similar to in the office.
The directors are always easy to approach - and give you that responsibility to take charge of client work.
Work-life balance was a walk in the park. There was hardly ever a time where I needed to work overtime as the expectations were always realistic to achieve. Even when we were forced to work from home due to COVID-19, we were highly encouraged to clock off on time and enjoy the rest of our day. I really appreciated hearing that from management.
The challengesThe software we used was a bit out dated (MYOB). And working from home should have been more of an option to begin with (much like what they do at the big 4). However, with covid-19 and the fact that Nexia had to start working from home, I believe this will be more of an option going forward - as they now have the capabilities.
