Job description

For an ambitious Manager or Senior Manager who can’t see a clear path to equity in their current firm, this is a genuine opportunity to make that next step.

Joining one of Brisbane’s most established suburban accounting practices, you’ll take ownership of an existing client portfolio, lead a highly experienced team and work directly alongside the Directors with a defined pathway toward future equity.

With a 45+ year history, an exceptionally loyal client base and a 15+ person team boasting impressive tenure, this is a stable and profitable practice that continues to grow. The client work is broad and commercially focused, spanning complex tax, structuring, asset protection, succession planning and ongoing business advisory.

The Role

• Manage and develop an established portfolio of clients.
• Build trusted relationships with business owners and key decision-makers.
• Deliver tax planning, structuring and commercially focused business advice.
• Review work and oversee workflow across the team.
• Mentor and develop Accountants at varying levels.
• Identify opportunities to expand services within existing clients.
• Develop relationships across an established referral network.
• Work directly with the Directors on growth and broader practice initiatives.

Why This Opportunity?

• Genuine pathway to equity and ownership.
• Established practice operating for 45+ years.
• Long-standing and loyal client base.
• Excellent 15+ staff team with strong tenure.
• Established portfolio from commencement.
• Exposure across tax planning, restructuring, asset protection, SMSFs and succession planning.
• Opportunity to influence the future direction and growth of the practice.
• Ongoing professional and leadership development.
• Strong referral network and opportunity to build your own profile.
• Down-to-earth, supportive team environment.
• On-site parking.
• Long-term opportunity to progress from senior leadership into ownership.

About You

• You’ll ideally be CA/CPA qualified and currently operating at Manager, Senior Manager or Associate Director level within Australian public practice.
• You’ll combine strong Business Services & Tax technical capability with the confidence to manage complex client relationships, develop staff and provide commercially focused advice.
• You don’t necessarily need to arrive with a book of clients. More important is the ability and ambition to develop relationships, contribute to growth and ultimately become a key part of the practice’s future.
