Job description

Complex Clients. Clear Progression. Genuine Work-Life Balance.
If you're an experienced Senior Accountant ready to step into leadership, or an existing Supervisor looking for greater client exposure and a clearer pathway to management, this opportunity offers the perfect next step.

Join a highly regarded CBD-based accounting and advisory firm that combines the technical work and client complexity of a larger mid-tier practice with the supportive culture and flexibility of a people-first environment.

Working alongside experienced Managers and Directors, you'll gain exposure to high-profile clients, advisory projects and structured career development within a firm that genuinely invests in its people.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Preparation and review of financial statements and tax returns
• Managing client relationships and day-to-day queries
• Mentoring and reviewing work completed by junior team members
• Assisting with complex tax and advisory engagements
• Management accounting and business performance reporting
• Business structuring and restructuring projects
• Exposure to mergers and acquisitions activities
• Cross-border taxation matters and international group structures

You'll work across a broad client base including:

• High-net-worth individuals and family groups
• Property investment and development businesses
• Consumer products and retail organisations
• Professional services firms
• Growing SME businesses
• Large private groups and listed entities
• Client turnover ranges from $1 million through to multi-billion-dollar organisations, providing exposure rarely found outside larger firms.
