What You'll Do

You will own the client relationship for a portfolio of B and C-tier international clients — acting as their trusted advisor as they operate and grow in Australia. You provide tax guidance, business and regulatory advice, and help clients navigate everything from entity structuring to payroll obligations to BAS compliance. For your clients, you are ABN Australia.

This is a client-facing advisory role, not an administrative or production role. You manage relationships, deliver advice, handle onboarding, and identify opportunities to add value.

Requirements

ABOUT YOU

You're a confident, client-facing advisor who international businesses trust to help them navigate Australia.

You combine accounting literacy with genuine commercial instinct — you understand what clients need, you explain it in plain language, and you make sure it happens.

Qualifications and Experience

- Tertiary qualification in Commerce, Accounting, Business, or a related field

- CPA / CA qualification preferred but not essential — commercial and advisory capability matters more than technical credentials

- 3–7 years' experience in accounting, professional services, or a client-facing advisory role





- Strong written and verbal communication — you write clear, professional emails and are confident advising senior finance professionals

- Experience advising or supporting international businesses operating in Australia is highly valued

- Familiarity with Australian tax and regulatory obligations at a conversational level — you guide clients, you don't prepare the returns

- Familiarity with Xero, practice management software, or CRM systems is a plus

What We’re Really Looking For

- Trusted advisor. Clients rely on you. You understand their business, anticipate their questions, and give them confidence that their Australian operations are in good hands.

- Proactive, not reactive. You don't wait for clients to call with problems. You're ahead of them — flagging upcoming obligations, suggesting next steps, and keeping them informed before they have to ask.

- Commercially aware. You understand that your portfolio drives retention and revenue. A well-advised, well-serviced client stays and grows. You spot opportunities to add value naturally.

- Clear communicator. You translate tax and regulatory complexity into language international clients can act on. You bridge the gap between the technical team and the client.

- Relentlessly organised. You track every open item, every deadline, every client commitment. Nothing gets lost. Nothing gets forgotten.

- Adaptable. You're comfortable working across different client types, industries, and levels of complexity. No two days look the same and you like it that way.

- Growth oriented. You want to develop into a Senior Client Manager. This role gives you direct exposure to higher-complexity advisory, pricing, and portfolio leadership under an experienced SCM — it's designed as that pathway.
