Job description

Overview

We are a leading, ARF Top 50 private client advisory firm with over 30 years’ experience working with SMEs and high net wealth individuals and families.

The purpose of our business is to make a positive difference to our clients’ financial outcomes. To do that we deliver a breadth of specialised financial advice tailored to every stage of our clients’ journey. You will be an integral part of that and a growing AFR top 50 firm with numerous awards for our innovative and integrated accounting and financial planning services.

Rather than the traditional professional firms where the professionals spend their careers working crazy hard in environments that don\'t support them properly - we aspire to be the place where professionals can spend time outside the office on their interests, while still helping clients solve challenging issues, and being supported by modern tech, systems and aspiring people, in an environment that supports flexibility and individualised career plans - where you can progress at your desired pace, working on clients and projects you enjoy.

The people who join Altus want it all - they aspire to do challenging work in a modern and growing business, look after a great client portfolio, spend time with their equally aspiring workmates, while working to outcomes in a flexible and supportive environment that supports both their work and personal goals.

So, we create the environment for them - doing professional services differently.

The Role

Due to substantial growth, we are on the hunt for a tax superstar - someone to be our internal tax guru to our accounting and financial planning advisers, someone who loves and knows private clients and their tax and transactions requirements, and who wants to build a team of tax advisers.

Education

• Devise and execute the tax education strategy for Altus incl external training providers and in-house training and education
• Run selective intensive training on select topics on a quarterly basis

Leadership - Lead and execute the tax & transactions strategy including building a team of tax experts.

You

• 10+ years’ experience in private clients’ tax advisory
• A strong desire to build relationships with clients and internal advisers and work with them to create solutions
• Experience in developing and building up junior team members to be the best tax professionals they can be
• Experience being involved in the growth strategy for the tax and transactions team

What you can expect:

• Genuine path to equity ownership - we have a broad shareholder base that includes levels below Director and continue to add to our shareholder base - we can show you the clear path to get there
• Collaborate with a team of passionate, highly skilled professionals who’ve got your back – we are an aligned and supportive culture
