Why This Role

This is an opportunity for an Intermediate Accountant to join a high-profile boutique firm in the Melbourne CBD. The role will suit someone with around 3 years of Australian public practice experience who wants stronger technical development, greater client exposure, and a clear pathway to continue progressing.

You will work with large, complex clients, including groups with turnover above $100m, while receiving direct access to Partners, regular leadership check-ins, and ongoing training.

The firm offers a broader service model than a traditional accounting practice, giving you exposure to accounting, tax advice, wealth management, lending and private family management.

The firm works with prestigious private clients, complex business groups and high-net-worth families, providing services across accounting, tax, advisory, wealth, finance and broader private-client matters.

The environment is collaborative, professional and growth-focused, with contemporary software, robust internal support and access to senior people who are invested in developing their team.

This is a strong fit for an accountant who wants to move beyond standard compliance work and build a more rounded public practice career.

Your responsibilities will include:

- Liaising with the ATO, OSR, clients and other professionals
- Supporting timely and accurate completion of client work
- Working with contemporary systems including MYOB AE, Xero and Excel
- Building your technical skills across complex structures and higher-value client groups
