Job description

Seeking 3 + years Business Services experience advising clients on strategy, growth, tax and succession.

• Pathway to Partnership in a respected Canberra firm
• Ethical, relationship-driven culture with global reach
• Lead a client portfolio with support from a strong junior team

Based in Canberra and part of a global network, this is a firm that not only serves clients with integrity and insight, but backs its people for the long haul. They invest in their staff as though they’ll be with them forever – and many are. Why? Because the culture here is something special.

The Role

You’ll be the trusted advisor to a portfolio of business clients – often privately owned and family-run – working on more than just compliance. You’ll be alongside them, helping to shape strategy, improve operations, manage tax, and drive growth. It’s commercial. It’s consultative. It’s real-world advisory at its best.

And unlike some big firms, you won’t be lost in a sea of hierarchy. You’ll be seen. You’ll be heard. And if you’ve got the right mindset, you’ll be on a fast-track to Partnership.

Who You Are

You're a CA or CPA-qualified professional (or undertaking one of these programs) with 3+ years’ experience in business services and tax within Australia. You always bring a client-first approach. You don’t cut corners. You earn trust. And you’re ready to step into a role that rewards both intellect and integrity.

Why This Firm

Because it’s about doing business the right way. Clients aren’t pressured for fees – they’re guided toward value. Staff aren’t just trained – they’re genuinely developed with pay reviews every 6 months. This is a place where you can build your reputation and shape your future. And if Partnership is on your horizon, they’ll walk with you toward it.

Plus, there’s the kind of workplace culture that’s too often talked about, and too rarely delivered: collaborative, inclusive, social, and supportive. The coffee’s good. The gym membership’s included. And the leadership team listens.
