• Support Directors and Partners on complex technical matters such as Division 7A, trust taxation, FBT, CGT succession planning.


• Act as a key contact for clients, building strong relationships and delivering exceptional service.


• Deliver strategic financial guidance to support clients in meeting their business objectives and enhancing overall financial outcomes.


• Mentor and guide junior staff, fostering technical development and professional growth.

• The opportunity to start or accelerate your career in Private Client Accounting and Advisory.


• A dynamic, collaborative culture and the chance to work alongside market‑leading professionals.
