Move beyond compliance. Become the trusted adviser businesses rely on.
At Corporate Advantage, we believe the best accountants don't just prepare financial statements—they help businesses make better decisions.
We're looking for an experienced Senior Accountant who enjoys understanding the story behind the numbers, building lasting client relationships, and helping ambitious businesses grow with confidence.
If you're looking for a role where you'll manage sophisticated clients, mentor an emerging team, work directly with a Partner and build a genuine pathway towards leadership, this could be the opportunity you've been looking for.
ABOUT CORPORATE ADVANTAGE
Corporate Advantage is a growing professional services firm providing accounting, taxation and commercial advisory services to established Australian businesses. We invest in people who want to build long-term careers—not just complete compliance work.
Their clients aren't small start-ups. You'll manage a portfolio of established businesses, each with annual turnovers exceeding $5 million, giving you exposure to complex commercial environments across multiple industries.
THE OPPORTUNITY
This role combines technical accounting expertise with commercial thinking, client relationship management and leadership. Reporting directly to a Partner, you'll become a trusted adviser to a significant portfolio of business clients while leading and developing a team of six accountants.
You'll oversee approximately 300–400 active client relationships, ensuring every client receives exceptional service, practical advice and proactive support. Most importantly, you'll help clients understand why the numbers matter—not simply what they are.
WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING
As Senior Accountant, you'll:
- Manage a large portfolio of established business clients
- Build trusted, long-term relationships with business owners and key stakeholders
- Prepare and review financial statements in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards
- Prepare and review taxation returns across companies, trusts, partnerships, individuals and SMSFs
- Manage BAS, IAS, FBT, payroll tax and compliance obligations
- Provide proactive tax planning and commercial business advice
- Analyse financial performance and identify opportunities to improve profitability, efficiency and cash flow
- Explain complex financial information in a way clients genuinely understand
- Review work completed by junior team members and provide coaching and technical guidance
- Work alongside a Partner on complex client matters and strategic advisory projects
WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR
This is a role for someone who wants to become a genuine adviser—not simply prepare tax returns. We're looking for more than a technically capable accountant. We're looking for someone who combines technical excellence with commercial insight and exceptional client service.
You'll thrive in this role if you:
- Enjoy solving complex financial problems
- Naturally look beyond the numbers to understand the commercial story
- Take pride in producing accurate, high-quality work
- Build strong relationships with clients and colleagues
- Stay calm and organised while managing multiple priorities
- Continuously seek better ways of working
WHAT YOU'LL BRING
- Degree qualified in Accounting, Commerce or a related discipline
- CA or CPA qualified (or actively working towards qualification)
- Strong Australian public practice accounting experience
- Excellent knowledge of Australian taxation legislation and compliance
- Robust capability across Xero, MYOB, Microsoft Excel and cloud accounting systems
- Exceptional analytical and critical thinking skills
- Outstanding attention to detail
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- Experience managing client relationships and delivering exceptional service
- Provide what software can't—critical thinking, commercial insight and trusted client advice
THE ADVANTAGE OF CORPORATE ADVANTAGE
- Work with sophisticated clients
- Learn directly from experienced Partners
- Genuine pathway to Partnership
- Expand your expertise
- Investment in your professional development, including funding your CPA or CA studies
