Job description

Tired of the Bruce Highway crawl? Enjoy a shorter commute, flexible hours and a genuine say in how a practice runs.

If you live around North Lakes, Redcliffe, Mango Hill or Caboolture, this could be the career move you’ve been waiting for.

We’re looking for an experienced Senior Accountant to join a growing local practice. Forget the layers of management and the daily trek into the CBD. You’ll work directly with the Director, take ownership of your client portfolio, and see the impact of your work on the practice.

Why you’ll want to work here

Work directly with the Director. Have a genuine voice in client matters, technical decisions and how the practice improves.

Focus on the work that matters. A capable local and offshore team handles the preparation, so your time goes on review, clients and advisory work.

Build real client relationships. Explain complex tax in plain English and identify opportunities to add value.

Flexibility that fits your life. The role is office-based, with start and finish times you can agree to suit your commitments.

Modern systems. Xero, XPM and cloud-based tools such as Karbon.

What you’ll be doing

Managing and developing a portfolio of individual and business clients

Preparing and reviewing complex work for individuals, companies, trusts and SMSFs

Advising on tax planning, structuring, CGT, Division 7A and other technical matters

Reviewing junior accountants’ work and supporting their development

Onboarding new clients and liaising with the ATO

Helping the Director improve processes and grow the practice

What you’ll bring

Senior Accountant experience in Australian public practice

Strong technical knowledge across individual, company, trust and SMSF taxation

CPA or CA qualified, or currently working towards completing your qualification

Confidence reviewing work and communicating directly with clients

Experience mentoring or supporting junior accountants

Most importantly, you take ownership, enjoy working with clients, and want your input to count.

What’s on offer

$100,000–$115,000, depending on experience

Permanent, full-time role

Flexible start and finish times

A convenient North Lakes location with easy parking
