Curtin Accounting Clinic

The Curtin Accounting Clinic is a new practice-based learning initiative from Curtin University’s Faculty of Business and Law. It connects final-year Accounting students with small businesses, not-for-profits, and community organisations to offer free, practical accounting support.
Delivered under the supervision of qualified academics and industry mentors, the clinic enables students to apply their learning in a real-world setting while offering meaningful assistance to those who may not have ready access to professional services.
How the Accounting Clinic can help
The Accounting Clinic can assist with a range of business accounting needs, including:
- Bookkeeping and reconciliations
- Budgeting and cash flow planning
- Financial reporting and analysis
- Business record management
- Support with accounting software (e.g. Xero, MYOB)
- Financial literacy for business owners and community leaders
Whether you’re a small business owner seeking better financial clarity or a community organisation needing extra support, the Accounting Clinic is here to help.
