Job description

At Boroughs, we believe great accounting is about more than numbers. We're trusted advisors to a diverse portfolio of businesses, entrepreneurs, family groups and high-net-worth individuals, helping them navigate challenges, identify opportunities and achieve their goals.

As our firm continues to grow, we're seeking a Senior Tax Consultant to join our collaborative and high-performing team. Whether you're looking to take the next step in your public practice career or seeking greater client exposure and progression, this is an opportunity to develop your technical expertise while working closely with Directors, Managers and clients.

The Opportunity

This role is ideal for a tax professional with 3+ years' tax experience who wants to make tax advisory the focus of their career. In this role you will enjoy 100% advisory work.

You will work across a broad range of technically interesting matters, providing practical and commercially focused advice to our clients while working closely with and being mentored by the Managers.

Your Responsibilities

• Conduct research into tax legislation, case law and ATO guidance.
• Advise on a broad range of tax matters, including income tax, GST, international tax, corporate tax, NSW land tax, NSW payroll tax and NSW stamp duty.
• Provide advice on business restructures, succession planning and other strategic tax matters.
• Liaise with the ATO and other external stakeholders regarding ATO audits, ongoing compliance reviews, Private Binding Rulings (PBRs) and tax governance frameworks.
• Assist Managers and Directors with the preparation of written tax advice, including advice letters and client correspondence.
• Provide tax advisory expertise to other members of the firm on matters including IDS reviews, complex tax compliance queries and ad-hoc tax matters.
• Keep up to date with changes and developments across the tax landscape.
• Contribute to team and firm-wide initiatives, with recent examples including reviews of trustee resolutions and AML/CTF obligations.
• Assist with and mentor junior team members, including conducting internal training sessions.
• Participate in ongoing technical training across areas including tax, accounting, estate planning and succession.
• Manage client budgets, billing and debtor management on a monthly basis.

About You

We're looking for someone who is genuinely interested in developing a career in tax advisory and who has:

• A minimum of 3 years' relevant tax experience, including some prior advisory exposure. Or you could have previous experience in business services with a strong tax background.
• Experience working with private clients and privately owned businesses.
• Exposure to tax consolidation and international tax.
• Strong technical research, analytical and problem-solving skills.
• The ability to communicate complex tax issues clearly and provide practical, commercially focused advice.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Previous experience within a Big 4, mid-tier accounting firm or tax/law firm is preferred.
• A CTA, Masters of Tax or CA qualification would be highly regarded but is not essential. A law degree would also be advantageous but is not a prerequisite.

Why Boroughs?

At Boroughs, you'll have the opportunity to work closely with experienced Directors and a diverse client base, while continuing to develop your technical expertise across a broad range of tax advisory matters.

This is an opportunity for someone who wants to move beyond a predominantly compliance-focused role and build a career where tax advisory is genuinely at the centre of the work.

You'll be supported by a collaborative team, exposed to challenging and varied client matters, and given the opportunity to take ownership and develop as a tax professional.

If you're looking for your next step in tax and want to build your career in advisory, we'd love to hear from you.
