Senior Accountant | Move Beyond Compliance & Into Advisory

Work directly with Partners. Build trusted client relationships. Develop real advisory expertise.

If you're a Senior Accountant who's spending most of your day pushing compliance work through the door, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.This role offers something many firms promise but few genuinely provide:

A seat at the table.

You'll work closely with the Partners, build meaningful relationships with business owners, investors and high-net-worth clients, and gain exposure to the advisory and strategic work that drives real career progression.
This isn't a role where you'll be buried in tax returns all day.

It's an opportunity to become a trusted adviser.

About the Firm

Our client is a well-established and highly respected accounting and advisory practice with a strong reputation for delivering tailored taxation, accounting and business advisory solutions to privately owned businesses and high-net-worth clients.
Unlike larger firms, you'll have direct exposure to decision-makers, clients and complex advisory matters from day one.

You'll be trusted to take ownership, contribute ideas and play an active role in helping clients achieve their commercial and financial objectives.

The Opportunity

Reporting directly to the Partners, you'll manage a diverse portfolio of clients while supporting both compliance and advisory projects. Your responsibilities will include:

• Preparing and reviewing financial statements and income tax returns
• Managing annual compliance obligations across a range of entity structures
• Working directly with business owners and key client stakeholders
• Assisting with tax planning and strategic advisory engagements

• Preparing management reports, forecasts and financial analysis
• Liaising with the ATO and other regulatory bodies
• Mentoring junior team members and contributing to workflow management

We're looking for someone who enjoys combining technical accounting expertise with strong client relationship skills. Ideally you'll have:

• Several years' experience within Business Services and Taxation
• Strong public practice accounting experience
• CA or CPA qualification (or substantial progress towards completion)
• Experience preparing financial statements and tax returns for companies, trusts, partnerships and individuals
• Strong communication and client management skills
• Experience using Xero and related accounting technologies
• A genuine interest in advisory work and career progression

Why This Role Stands Out

• Direct access to Partners and senior decision-makers
• Exposure to tax planning, structuring and advisory work
• High-quality privately owned business and high-net-worth clients
• A genuine pathway into management and leadership
• Diverse work beyond traditional compliance accounting
• Opportunity to expand your commercial and advisory skills
• Supportive and professional team environment

Who This Role Will Suit This opportunity is ideal for someone currently working as a:

• Senior Accountant
• Business Services Accountant
• Senior Tax Accountant
• Business Services Supervisor
• Assistant Manager
• Business Services Manager

who wants greater client exposure, more advisory work and a clear long-term career path.
