About the role

As part of our leadership team, you will:

• Deliver strategic advice and tailored solutions across a diverse client base
• Lead, mentor and inspire a high-performing team
• Work on complex, varied work where no two days are the same

What you’ll be doing

• Manage your own portfolio, delivering tailored tax and business advisory solutions
• Review complex financial statements, tax returns and compliance work
• Act as a trusted advisor, guiding clients through all stages of the business lifecycle
• Lead, coach and develop your team to achieve their full potential
• Drive workflow, quality, and team performance outcomes

What sets you apart

• CA or CPA qualified
• 5+ years’ experience in public practice
• Proven leadership and mentoring capability
• Strong technical expertise with a commercial mindset
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
• Full Australian working rights

• Meaningful work: Be a trusted advisor when clients need it most
• Iconic clients: Work with recognised local and national brands
• Career growth: Clear pathways to executive leadership
• Professional development: Ongoing training, mentoring and support
• Employee benefits: Access to a broad range of employee benefits and social initiatives.

Why Bentleys?

At Bentleys, we invest in people who want to build a career, not just hold a role. As a Manager, you’ll be empowered to lead, supported to develop your team, and challenged to grow into the executive leader and advisor you aspire to be.

This role is based in Adelaide, Australia. Full working rights are required.
