About us | NEXTGEN IQ ACADEMY

NextGen iQ

Born from Industry, Built for the Future

NextGen iQ was created by Australian CAs and CPAs to solve the critical hiring and training gaps in the accounting industry.

As a Chartered Accounting firm, we have experienced firsthand:

The hiring challenges
firms face—finding job-ready talent with practical skills.

The struggles graduates
face—lacking the experience needed to secure a role.

And we’re solving both problems—by training and placing future accountants who are ready from day one.

With over 16 years of experience, we provide comprehensive accounting and tax services to businesses, while also training and placing the next generation of accounting professionals.

Who We Serve

Accounting & Tax Clients – We provide end-to-end financial solutions for businesses, from BAS lodgements and tax compliance to payroll, financial reporting, and advisory services.

Graduates & Interns – We equip aspiring accountants with the practical experience, technical skills, and industry connections needed to land their first job in accounting.

This dual approach allows us to stay ahead of industry trends while ensuring that our training programs align with real-world business needs.

NextGen iQ: Our Mission

Our mission is to enhance graduate employability by revolutionizing accounting education. Starting as an accounting firm, we faced hiring and retention challenges, prompting us to create a training platform that bridges the gap between education and industry needs.

By embracing Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic (V.A.K) learning styles, we ensure personalized, engaging, and effective training. Our goal is to provide practical skills and knowledge that make our graduates stand out in the job market.

How We Do It

Personalised Learning

Everyone learns differently. By embracing Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic (V.A.K) learning styles, we ensure each student can absorb and retain information effectively. Our goal is to cater to individual learning preferences to make education more engaging.

Unlocking Potential

Every student has the potential to excel. Whether you're entering the job market, enhancing your skills, or staying updated with industry trends, we provide the tools and knowledge to help you achieve your career goals and thrive.
