Our Business Culture

We have a family-oriented business culture at KAS Accounting Solutions. We’re proud of our reputation for developing local talent and recruiting locally, but we welcome any new staff members who share our family and community values.

The top end is a great place to work and raise a family, with its strong sense of community.

KAS Accounting Solutions is also an exciting and professionally rewarding place to work because we’re helping people in not-for-profit organisations and small businesses who otherwise wouldn’t have access to professional accounting services.

Our team partners with our clients to provide our services with understanding and compassion.

Our community focus

We’re proud to be an integral part of the Kununurra and Darwin communities. Our staff have strong local ties and extensive experience both living and working in these regions.

We help to strengthen these communities through our personalised accounting services. Being based in the top end ourselves, we understand the unique challenges that people in remote, rural businesses and not-for-profit organisations face. We also have extensive experience in helping our clients to implement strategies and solutions to overcome these challenges.

Our diverse range of clients includes cattle stations, construction businesses, tourism operators and restaurants, ranging from sole traders to large companies. We also have many not-for-profit clients, including child care centres, sports clubs, Indigenous organisations and employment agencies.

Together, we’re helping to build strong community organisations and businesses to benefit everyone who lives and works in Kununurra, Darwin and surrounding areas.

The KAS Experience

"During my period at KAS, I have had the opportunity to work with a team of dedicated and talented individuals who consistently demonstrated a commitment to excellence. The support, insightful feedback, and mentorship I received from my directors and seniors played a significant role in shaping my skills and contributing to my professional and personal growth. The dynamic and inclusive work environment has provided me with the chance to develop not only technical expertise but also invaluable client relationship and team-building skills. As I embark on a new journey, I carry with me the beautiful memories of my time here and would like to extend my best wishes to KAS for continued success and growth."

"My experience at KAS can be described as a life changing experience and the experience gained over past three years has been second to none. I started as a graduate accountant during the peak of COVID, and in my second year at KAS I got promoted to a client manager. I like the diverse culture at KAS, and I could significantly improve my accounting knowledge as well as my soft skills while engaging with clients. While working at KAS, I started my CA studies and KAS has been very supportive to my CA journey throughout."

Yitzchak De Silva. Period Employed - July 2020  to September 2023

"I started as a graduate accountant at KAS with minimum knowledge and KAS guided me through to become a client manager. I could enhance myself professionally as I had right people beside me to guide me and KAS has a great management and leadership style. I developed my accounting skills with the proper guidance of client managers and directors. The experience I gathered over the past three years at KAS is exceptional. KAS offers great work life balance hence while being at KAS, as a mother I could manage both my work and family life better."

“My journey with KAS has been very rewarding. I have made so many unforgettable memories. Starting my career as a graduate accountant, I was trained by very experienced people in various areas of accounting such as bookkeeping, payroll, BAS, tax, reporting, audit workpapers and so on. I was encouraged to start the Chartered Accountancy program and was trained and supported throughout the CA studies. KAS has given me experience in different clients in different industries and the opportunities to travel between Kununurra and Darwin to meet those clients. The most exciting part of the role was the client experience by visiting them on site, which is not a common opportunity provided in other firms. Being based in one of the beautiful towns Kununurra for more than a year, I got to visit many secret spots. The work hours have been awesome, especially as there is no need to work on the weekends. KAS being a diverse team has a very encouraging environment. The directors are easily approachable and open to bringing ideas. The various team building activities over the years also have contributed to my personal growth. From graduate accountant to client manager, I have gained hands-on experience on various tasks that not only made me a better accountant but also a better person.”

“Working in the Kimberley was a fantastic opportunity to experience the beauty of the Australian outback, and the skills I developed were far beyond my expectations. The variety of work and people I dealt with at KAS was much greater than what I would have been doing in the city, and was one of the best decisions I ever made”

Sam Gevers. Period Employed – Feb 2014 to July 2017

“As a Graduate Account,  fresh from Perth, I found that moving to the remote township of Kununurra in the East Kimberley was a huge challenge – both personally and professionally.  On a personal level, it is quite tough to move to a small town without knowing a single person, and having to adapt to a completely new environment,  unlike that of the big city in which I had become accustomed.  Professionally, I started my journey as a graduate accountant starting with the basic day-to-day bookkeeping tasks. Working with KAS Accounting Solutions has changed those challenges into an opportunity to develop myself and my career. Under the mentorship of my principals,  Jodie Silvester and Paula Cooney,  I am fortunate with the knowledge I have gained and continue to gain both on a technical level and in relation to the disciplines of bookkeeping and taxation. I have met a diverse range of clients, including indigenous corporations and the local business communities – I have assisted these clients to meet their tax obligations and general day to day business operations – I can proudly say that I am learning from the experts.”

Carlo Soegiarto. Period Employed – Feb 2017 to Present

“Working at KAS has enabled me to gain an exceptional level of professional experience. The ability to have input on projects and provide value added feedback to a range of clients from different industries including both non-for-profit and small business. The opportunity to build strong relationships with our client base and fellow team members from day one along with the access to the CA support/mentored program are a few of the many reasons why I chose the Kununurra Graduate Program."
