Job description

Join a nationally recognised advisory firm and step into a genuine leadership pathway.

It's not often an opportunity like this comes to market.

A highly respected accounting and advisory firm is looking to appoint an ambitious Assistant Manager or Manager to join their South Sydney office and work directly alongside the principal in a genuine succession prospect.

Rather than simply stepping into another management role, you'll become the Principal's 2IC, gradually taking ownership of an established client portfolio while developing your leadership skills within a growing national group.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to take the next step in their career and play a key role in the future growth of the office.

What's on offer?

- 1-2 days WFH after probation

- Take ownership of an established $700k client portfolio over time
- Manage and mentor an experienced team
- Strong advisory focus with minimal compliance-only work
- Award-winning national advisory firm with multiple offices
- Ongoing professional development and leadership mentoring

The Role
Working closely with the principal,



you'll become a key member of the leadership team and be heavily involved in managing client relationships and delivering high-quality advisory services.

Your responsibilities will include:

- Managing a diverse portfolio of business clients
- Providing tax planning and business advisory services
- Reviewing financial statements and tax returns
- Building long-term relationships with clients
- Managing workflow and mentoring junior staff
- Identifying advisory opportunities to add value to clients
- Working closely with the Principal on strategic client matters
- Assisting with the future growth of the office

About You
You'll ideally bring:

- CA or CPA qualified (or close to completion)
- 5+ years' experience within Australian Public Practice
- Experience managing your own client portfolio
- Strong technical knowledge across Business Services & Tax
- Previous experience reviewing work and mentoring staff
- Excellent communication and relationship management skills
- Ambition to progress into a leadership position

Why Apply?
