It’s a small, close-knit team with a direct and collaborative culture. They take their work seriously, but they’re not a big corporate firm, and that’s exactly the point.

The Role

• Identifying opportunities to improve processes and systems

You’ll likely have:

• 8+ years experience in public practice
• CA or CPA qualification
• Strong technical knowledge across tax and accounting compliance
• Experience reviewing financial statements and tax returns
• Confidence communicating directly with clients
• Experience mentoring or leading junior team members

And you’ll be someone who:

• Communicates directly and with confidence
• Takes ownership and knows when to escape
• Enjoys developing others and improving how a team operates
• Thrives in a small firm where your contribution is visible
