Jobbeschreibung

Senior Accountant / Future Team Leader – SMSF & Strategic Advice

At MJC Partners, we're not looking for someone who wants to spend the next five years preparing tax returns and waiting for a promotion.

We're looking for someone who wants to become a trusted adviser, build meaningful client relationships, develop leadership skills and play a significant role in the future of our SMSF division.

This is an opportunity to work directly alongside one of Australia's leading SMSF specialists, attend strategic client meetings from day one, and accelerate your professional development in a way few firms can offer.

About the Role

Our SMSF division manages approximately 400 funds and is a key part of our business.

You'll initially join as a Senior Accountant and work closely with our leadership team across technical advice, client strategy, compliance review and relationship management.

As your capability and confidence grow, you'll progressively take ownership of client relationships, mentor team members and develop into a future Team Leader.

This is not a role where progression depends on someone retiring or moving on.

We are actively building the future leadership structure of our SMSF division and are looking for people who want to be part of that journey.

What You'll Be Doing

• Reviewing SMSF compliance work and providing technical guidance
• Attending strategic client meetings from day one
• Working with successful business owners, professionals and high-net-worth families
• Assisting with complex SMSF advice and strategy implementation
• Developing trusted adviser relationships with clients
• Responding to technical client queries
• Supporting and mentoring junior team members
• Contributing to continuous improvement within the division

What Success Looks Like

Over time, you will:

• Become the primary adviser for a portfolio of clients
• Build deep and trusted client relationships
• Help mentor and develop future team members
• Progress into a Team Leader role
• Position yourself for future advancement within the firm

Our long-term vision includes developing future Team Leaders and Associates from within the business.

About You

We're less concerned about finding the "perfect" technical accountant and more interested in finding the right person.

You are someone who:

• Builds trust naturally with clients and colleagues
• Takes ownership rather than waits for direction
• Follows through on commitments
• Enjoys solving problems
• Is genuinely invested in helping clients achieve great outcomes
• Wants to grow into a leadership role
• Has strong communication skills and enjoys working with people
• Is coachable and committed to continual improvement
• Most importantly, you're someone who wants more than a traditional compliance-focused accounting role.

Technical Requirements

You'll bring:

• Several years' experience in public practice accounting
• Strong SMSF experience
• Solid Australian tax knowledge
• Experience reviewing accounting and compliance work
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Exposure to advanced SMSF strategy, tax planning or advisory work will be highly regarded, but is not essential for the right candidate.

Why MJC Partners?

We believe progression should be earned through capability and contribution, not simply years of service.

Strategic Client Exposure

You'll attend strategy meetings from day one and gain exposure to sophisticated client work rarely available at this level.

Learn From Experts

You'll work directly with highly experienced advisers and receive hands‑on mentoring in advanced SMSF and strategic advice.

If leadership is part of your career goals, we'll help you build the skills, confidence and experience required to get there.

A Great Team

Culture is everything to us.

We're proud of the team we've built and are looking for someone who will contribute positively to that environment.

The Opportunity

This role will suit someone who wants to build a long-term career rather than simply find their next job.

If you're looking for an environment where you can accelerate your development, build meaningful client relationships and genuinely progress into leadership, we'd love to hear from you.
