Seeking someone CA qualified or undertaking the CA. Advisory-led work across varied clients. Real referrals, support, and freedom to shape your own niche.

• Build relationships, not just reports and be rewarded for owning them
• 20% commission on your billings with a clear, short path to Partnership
• Modern, Xero-driven firm with flexibility and genuine work-life balance

Now, if you’re the kind of accountant who enjoys hiding behind a desk, punching a clock, and watching someone else profit from your hard work… this won’t be for you.

But if you’ve got ambition – the kind that builds relationships instead of just spreadsheets, and you’d like a genuine shot at Partnership without aging into it over a decade… well, you might actually belong here.

This firm doesn’t throw you into the deep end and yell “good luck!” from the shore. They do something smarter. They help you build your own book of business. They’ve got multiple interstate offices, a modern structure, and more referrals than they can handle – and they’re ready to hand them to you.

You want to focus on a specific industry? Go for it. You want to get into complex advisory work instead of dying slowly inside doing compliance? They’ll back you with the right clients and the right resources.

You bring the ambition.

They bring the referrals.

And here’s the part everyone pretends not to care about but definitely does: money and ownership.

You own your client relationships. You earn 20% commission on your billings. And Partnership? Not a “maybe someday” carrot on a stick. It’s achievable in the short term if you perform.

What’s in it for you?

• Flexible work arrangements (because life exists outside spreadsheets)
• A real mix of clients – from small business battlers to mid-sized operators ($1M–$15M turnover)
• Work that goes beyond tax returns: debt reduction, profit improvement, complex tax consulting
• Xero-driven, modern, and sane – no dinosaur accounting, no prehistoric attitudes
• A firm that actually believes in work-life balance (and means it)

What do they need from you?

• CA qualified or currently undertaking the CA
• Based in Newcastle
• Comfortable with Xero
• Ambition to grow

Interested? Let’s talk. With over 20 years recruitment experience, I can guarantee that your application is in good hands.
