After completing your CA you can be promoted to a Senior Associate. Depending on your development you can then become a Manager, then an Associate Principal, and then a Partner of the firm

Moving from hardcopy paper files to digital online files more emphasis on recycling and more bin options

DAA has a very strong culture. After hours, the social team hosts a variety of events to build culture and for team members to enjoy. During hours, we have events such as birthdays, Friday dimmie runs, end of month celebration etc. These are a great way to get to know your colleagues on a more casual and non work basis.

At DAA we definitely have a wide diverse group of individuals with all different backgrounds, Everyone embraces you at the firm no matter what ethnicity you are, everyone is welcome, and everyone at DAA is part of another family. From Recruitment wise, the team does a fantastic job in bringing in the right people to the firm, and that speaks on the retention in retaining the people here. I have only seen 1 or 2 people leave DAA since I've been working at DAA and that's amazing to see. I think everyone here at DAA feels the same way I do, and it ticks a lot of boxes.

My role is to assist other team members with compliance work for clients, including returns, preparing financial statements, activity statements, preparing work papers and a range of other activities

All things considered, management is supportive and ready to teach and help.

The office space is very nice and tidy. We have 3 levels, ground, L1, L2, and a rooftop bar which is good for Friday drinks. The dress code is smart casual and is pretty relaxed.

My interview was a casual but informative chat.

I did not select my role based on my salary but I did expect it to be approx 5k-10k more than what was offered. I had other offers that were more than my current salary for similar experience but overall chose this role for the culture, location, and type of work and am hopeful my salary will increase eventually.

There is a very good learning and development program set up at the firm, with both formal and informal training provided. Usually, there is a training session once a fortnight.

The company emphasises a healthy work-life balance. Rarely will you be required to work/ see other colleagues work long hours in the office.

It's most definitely a factor on trying to be as environmentally friendly as possible in the realm of an office. We definitely have many bins for food wastage, recycling, and general waste. We do our best to follow that, and for the kitchen, we have electric stoves, no gas.
