About Us

Don’t just deliver work - this is your opportunity to shape our people, influence outcomes, and play a direct role in building the future of the firm - not just delivering work.

Whether you’re an experienced Manager looking to fast-track your path to executive leadership, or a Senior ready to step up, we’ll support and develop you to get there.

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

What You’ll Get In Return

• 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 senior advisor and executive leader you aspire to be.
