Supervisor/Client Manager | Business Services & Advisory
Salary:$100,000 to $130,000 + superannuation + annual bonus
Why This Role
This is not a traditional Supervisor or Client Manager role where you inherit a fixed portfolio, sit under several Partners and mainly review compliance work.
This is an opportunity to help build a new Adelaide office for a growing national tax and business services firm.
You will step into a role with genuine ownership, direct Partner support and a clear pathway toward Client Director as the South Australian business continues to expand.
The firm already has established offices across Sydney and Melbourne, an existing South Australian client base, a Partner leading the region and a clear plan to grow in Adelaide.
They are now looking for the right person to become a key part of that growth.
What makes this different is the structure around you.
The firm has central operational support, a client experience team, offshore support, dedicated marketing and a sales function to help generate and convert new work.
This is a robust opportunity for an ambitious Senior Accountant, Supervisor or Manager who wants more than a standard public practice role and is interested in building something with long-term upside.

Why This Is Different
Most Supervisor or Client Manager roles involve stepping into an existing hierarchy and managing an inherited workflow.
This role is different.
You will be part of the expansion of the Adelaide office, supported by a national firm that already has established offices, systems, processes, people, and a proven growth model in place.
You will have the chance to shape the local team, grow a client ledger, work directly with senior leaders and build toward Client Director in a firm that has already promoted people through that pathway.
You will also have meaningful support around you, including central operations, client experience support, offshore support, sales support and marketing support.
That means your time can be focused on client relationships, advisory work, team development and building the Adelaide presence, rather than being buried in low-level administration.
For the right person, this is not just the next accounting job.
It is a chance to become part of the growth story early.
