Job description

AVH Business Services Pty Ltd – Brendale QLD

Senior Tax Accountant – Registered Tax Agent | Pathway to Partnership

AVH Business Services Pty Ltd | Brisbane, QLD | Full-time or Part-time | Hybrid

Earn Well. Perform Well. Build Something of Your Own.

We offer a very attractive salary, performance-based bonuses and the opportunity to work towards equity in the business. Your rewards and progression will reflect your performance, contribution and the growth you help create.

If you’re ambitious, commercially minded, and want more than a salary - if you want the opportunity to build a successful division and share in its future - let’s talk.

About AVH

AVH Business Services is an established Australian Business Services practice with 10 years in operation and a team of 18. Our services span bookkeeping, BAS, software development, IT, HR intermediary services, ASIC services and now Tax.

We are growing our dedicated tax division and are looking for an experienced Registered Tax Agent to lead tax service delivery and help develop the division, with a genuine pathway towards partnership for the right person.

Our tax division successfully completed its initial soft launch with an external tax practitioner joining the business. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen personal circumstances, that arrangement came to an end earlier than anticipated. We are now looking for the right person to lead the next stage of growth and build a long‑term future with AVH.

We already have signed tax clients ready to commence, established referral channels and a strong existing client base. You won’t be starting from scratch.

The Role

This is a hands‑on leadership role for a commercially minded tax professional who wants to build something and progress their career.

You will be responsible for:

• Preparing and reviewing individual, company, trust and partnership tax returns.
• Preparing and reviewing financial statements.
• Providing tax planning, advisory and business structuring advice.
• Managing ATO correspondence, compliance requirements and lodgement deadlines.
• Overseeing tax workflows, quality control and day‑to‑day delivery.
• Building client relationships and attending client meetings.
• Identifying opportunities to expand advisory services and develop new business.
• Improving processes, systems and the profitability of the tax division.
• Developing tax team members as the division grows.
• Reviewing the work of other tax team members as required.
• Coordinating company formations and ASIC services where appropriate.

Systems, Technology and Workflows

Our tax division has successfully completed its soft launch using Xero Practice Manager (XPM), Xero Tax and TaxDome. Our existing bookkeeping and BAS team also use XBert, XPM and Xero Tax, providing an established technology and workflow foundation.

We’re open to adopting alternative software and workflow systems where they offer a clear benefit. We value practical innovation, efficient processes and technology that supports quality service delivery as the division grows.

An Established Team Behind You

You will have support from an existing team, including:

• Two degree‑qualified Tax Associates who are also BAS Agents.
• A Chartered Accountant.
• Experienced administration staff.
• An established bookkeeping and BAS team.
• Internal management and operational support.

Our bookkeeping and BAS division operates independently, so your focus will be on taxation rather than managing or supervising the BAS team. The tax function operates through a separate arm of the business.

We also have two in‑house software developers working on integrations, automation, reporting and custom solutions, alongside the development of an internal learning platform for clients and staff.

Tax Agent Registration

Your current Tax Practitioner Board (TPB) registration must be in good standing.

Your registration will underpin AVH’s tax agent arrangements, and you will lead the taxation function operating under those arrangements. This is a substantive professional role with responsibility for the quality, compliance and delivery of tax services in accordance with applicable TPB requirements.

The remuneration package reflects the professional responsibilities of the position, including the registration‑related responsibilities agreed for the role. The arrangements will be structured in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements.

This is not a registration‑only arrangement. We want someone who will actively lead, contribute to and grow the tax division.

Career Pathway to Partnership

We are looking for someone ambitious who wants more than another accounting position.

For the right person, there is a genuine pathway towards partnership and equity, with the opportunity to help shape the tax division, develop its client base, influence business decisions and share in its future success.

Progression and any equity or partnership arrangements will be developed through mutually agreed terms as the division grows.

About You

You will ideally have:

• Current TPB registration as a Tax Agent.
• Strong public practice experience in taxation.
• Experience preparing and reviewing a range of tax returns and financial statements.
• Sound knowledge of tax compliance, planning and advisory services.
• The confidence to manage client relationships and provide practical advice.
• A commercial mindset and an interest in growing a practice.
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage deadlines.
• A desire to develop professionally and work towards partnership.

We value initiative, sound judgement, accountability and someone who takes pride in their work.

Working Arrangements and Benefits

• Full‑time or part‑time employment.
• Flexible working hours and hybrid arrangements.
• Availability to attend our Brisbane office at least two days per week for face‑to‑face client meetings.
• Competitive remuneration based on experience and responsibilities.
• Performance incentives.
• Paid professional development, CPD and relevant seminars or training.
• Birthday leave.
• A supportive team and established business infrastructure.
• A genuine career pathway towards partnership for the right person.

We want someone who values being well rewarded for their expertise and contribution, while also being motivated by career progression, professional autonomy, strong client relationships and the opportunity to grow with the business.

Who This Opportunity Suits

This role could suit an experienced Senior Tax Accountant or existing Tax Agent who is ready to take the next step, lead a tax function and build towards a partnership opportunity without having to establish an entire practice independently.

If you are commercially minded, motivated and interested in building a long‑term future with an established business, we would like to hear from you.
