Job description

With over 30 years of experience, this firm has built a strong reputation for attracting clients typically serviced by Big 4 or mid-tier practices. Despite its boutique size, with 60 professional staff and 3 partners, they have consistently partnered with high-level clients, including well-established large corporates and some of Australia’s most prominent family offices.

The firm has a significant focus on business advisory and adopts a deliberate approach to growth, opening its books to new clients just once a year. This controlled intake ensures they can provide tailored, high-quality service to every client. Clients range from passive but complex family office structures with trading entities to larger corporates in industries such as renewable energy, professional services and agriculture.

Known for their supportive environment, the firm has an impressive average staff tenure of 7.3 years, reflecting its commitment to fostering long-term careers. Employees benefit from comprehensive mentoring and training opportunities, with a proven track record of internal promotions.

Flexibility is a cornerstone of the firm’s culture, offering fully remote, hybrid or in-office work arrangements. This role suits professionals at all stages of their careers, whether returning from leave, seeking more work-life balance or looking to advance within a collaborative and forward-thinking environment. As long as you bring the right attitude and a passion for quality work, the firm is ready to teach, train and support your development.

Senior Accountant

You’ll balance technical accounting responsibilities, mentorship, and advisory opportunities. You’ll oversee the work of Intermediate Accountants and junior team members, ensuring accuracy and maintaining a high standard of quality.

Your day-to-day will include working on complex compliance, financial reporting and advisory projects such as business valuations, growth consulting, and strategic planning. Client contact is available for those who enjoy it, but the role is flexible to accommodate those who prefer a more technical focus.

• 100% remote work option, or you can opt for a hybrid arrangement, balancing time between home and the office.
• Each employee receives a $3,000 home office setup stipend to create an ergonomic and efficient workspace.
• Monthly training, industry-led sessions, and quarterly firm-wide training days, with full support for qualifications beyond CA or CPA.
• Work with clients across industries, from startups to large private companies, on projects like valuations, acquisitions and R&D tax incentives.
• No emails or calls after work hours, ensuring real work/life balance by enforcing a protected time-off policy.

Requirements

• Minimum 6 years’ Australian public practice experience within Business Services working as a Senior Accountant, Assistant Manager or Manager level.
• Chartered Accountant (CA ANZ) or CPA qualified.
• Experience working across individuals, partnerships, companies, trusts, and group structures.
• Confident preparing and reviewing financial statements and income tax returns, with well-rounded exposure to tax planning, trust distributions, Division 7A and capital gains tax matters.
• Any experience across FBT, small business CGT concessions or business advisory work is a welcome bonus, though certainly not essential.
• Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage your own workflow and work autonomously.
• Previous experience working remotely, either in a hybrid or full-time work-from-home capacity.
• Experience with Xero and FYI Docs preferred, however candidates with MYOB AE, HandiSoft, APS or similar practice management software are strongly encouraged to apply.
