You will have a significant degree of independence and have the opportunity to work under the guidance of partner, Michael Horton, who has over 40 years’ experience.

You will be working in a small, friendly and collaborative team located a few minutes’ walk from the Metro Station in North Sydney.

We believe in a balanced work and life and regular working hours.
