Job description

$130K–$150K + Bonus | North Sydney | Immediate Start

Great clients. Great people. Seriously good offices. And yes, the coffee is excellent.

If you’ve spent the last few years building your technical expertise in public practice but are starting to wonder whether there’s somewhere you can enjoy the people, the environment and the work a little more, this could be worth a conversation.

Our client is a leading Financial Services firm based in North Sydney, with a genuinely impressive culture, a growing team and a strong focus on using technology to make life easier — rather than simply doing things the way they’ve always been done.

They’ve also recently moved into fantastic purpose‑built offices, surrounded by great cafés, shops and amenities, with excellent public transport access.

And, apparently, one of the best coffee machines in Sydney. We felt that deserved its own mention.

The opportunity

We’re looking for an experienced Accountant / Senior Accountant who enjoys being close to their clients and wants more than just another compliance‑heavy accounting role.

You’ll manage a portfolio of privately owned businesses, family groups and high‑net‑worth clients, working closely with Partners and becoming a trusted adviser rather than simply producing the numbers.

There’s plenty of technical work, of course — but there’s also real scope to provide advice, solve problems, build relationships and influence outcomes.

You’ll be involved in:

• Managing your own portfolio of privately owned businesses, family groups and high‑net‑worth clients
• Providing proactive tax planning and strategic business advice
• Reviewing financial statements, income tax returns and other compliance work
• Advising across business structures, restructures, CGT, Division 7A and broader Australian taxation matters
• Building genuine, long‑term relationships with clients
• Mentoring and developing junior accountants within the team
• Working directly with Partners on more complex client engagements
• Contributing to business development and identifying opportunities to provide broader support to clients

Who we’re looking for

You’ll probably have around 10–15 years’ experience in Australian public practice and be comfortable independently managing client relationships and a portfolio.

Ideally, you’ll also bring:

• CA or CPA qualification
• Experience working with privately owned businesses and high‑net‑worth clients
• Confidence dealing directly with clients and senior stakeholders
• Experience mentoring, coaching or reviewing junior team members
• A commercial mindset — you enjoy understanding the client’s business, not just completing their compliance
• A collaborative leadership style and the ability to have a laugh along the way

Why this one is different

This isn’t a business looking to replace someone and keep everything exactly the same.

The team is experiencing genuine organic growth, which means there is opportunity to grow with them.

You’ll be joining a high‑performing but down‑to‑earth environment where people work hard, support one another and genuinely enjoy coming into the office.

Add in new fit‑for‑purpose offices, brilliant North Sydney amenity, great transport links, shops and cafés on the doorstep, modern technology and a leadership team that genuinely values its people, and it starts to feel very different from the traditional accounting firm.

If you’re ready for a role where you can use your technical expertise, build meaningful client relationships and actually enjoy the environment you’re working in, we’d love to hear from you.

Sometimes the right career move isn’t about doing something completely different — it’s about finding somewhere better to do what you’re already great at.

At QIX Consulting Group, we are committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse workplace where everyone is treated with respect and provided with equal opportunities. We encourage applications from people of all backgrounds, experiences and abilities.
