Job description

The first Pillar Two returns just went in. The ATO is circling private groups. Somewhere in Sydney, a founder is reading a letter from the ATO with a second generation coming through the business and a subsidiary offshore, and she has one question: "what do we do now?" At this firm, the person she calls is the tax manager.

That could be you. You'd have your own portfolio of corporate, private and listed groups and a partner who wants you in the meeting. The advice would go out with your name on it.

If you've built your career in Australian corporate tax, this is open to you. On a sponsored visa? Transfers are welcome. Based in Melbourne or Brisbane and wondering what life looks like on the harbour? Great - keep reading, it gets good.

We’ve partnered with a leading Top 10 firm in the Sydney CBD. Their clients are Australia's middle market: family groups, private businesses and corporates, many turning over $50 million or more. Managers here sit close to the partners and own their client relationships. Restructures, deals and international work come your way early.

The timing is good. Around 8,200 private groups are in the ATO’s sights, and the rules on interest deductions and cross-border structures keep shifting. Clients want someone who can tell them what it all means in plain English, and they want that person on speed dial.

What you'll be doing

• Managing your own portfolio of corporate, private and listed clients across a mix of industries
• Leading and reviewing complex compliance: income tax, tax effect accounting, FBT and tax reporting
• Advising on corporate restructures, tax consolidation, international tax and tax governance
• Supporting clients through transactions, due diligence, mergers and acquisitions
• Spotting where a client needs advice beyond the return, and starting that conversation
• Reviewing the team's work and coaching seniors and juniors on the technical side
• Running workflow, deadlines and engagement profitability
