Job description

Lead, Advise, and Shape the Future as a Manager Tax

At Bentleys Queensland, we go beyond compliance—we deliver specialist tax insights that drive growth, manage risk, and create long‑term value for our clients. As a Tax Manager, you’ll play a pivotal role in delivering high‑level tax advisory and compliance solutions while guiding and developing a team of professionals.

Our core values—Insightful, Authentic, Dynamic, and Connected—define our culture and approach. You’ll be part of a team that values technical expertise, collaboration, and excellence, where your skills and leadership will be recognised and rewarded.

About The Role

This is an opportunity to step into a Tax Manager role where your technical expertise and leadership capability will be genuinely valued. You’ll take the lead on complex tax matters while mentoring a team of accountants, helping them build confidence, capability, and strong careers. You’ll work closely with a diverse portfolio of clients, providing expert tax planning and compliance advice that delivers real, measurable outcomes.

In this role, you’ll oversee the preparation and review of income tax returns, BAS and IAS, FBT, and tax effect accounting, while delivering tailored tax planning and advisory solutions. Your work will include restructures, consolidations, international tax considerations, and succession planning, as well as providing clear, strategic advice around tax risk, compliance, and legislative change.

A key part of this role is supporting and developing people. As our Tax Manager, you will enjoy mentoring and guiding accountants at varying stages of their careers, fostering both technical excellence and professional growth. You’ll collaborate closely with Partners and Directors to enhance tax service offerings and contribute to business development, all while promoting a culture of continuous improvement, knowledge sharing, and high standards of work.

About You

You are a detail‑oriented problem‑solver who thrives in technical environments. You’re passionate about tax and take pride in guiding clients through complex issues. You enjoy developing people, building strong client relationships, and being a trusted specialist.

As a CA or CPA qualified professional with a background in Accounting, Commerce, Law or a Master of Tax, you have built a strong career in taxation within a reputable professional services firm.

You bring technical expertise across income tax, FBT, CGT, Division 7A, and tax effect accounting, and you’ve ideally worked with both corporate and private clients on complex advisory and compliance matters.

Just as importantly, you’re a strong communicator who can translate technical tax concepts into advice clients understand and trust.
