Our client is a well‑established, multi‑service professional services firm with over 30 years of history advising privately owned, high‑growth and complex organisations. The firm operates across the Asia‑Pacific region, with a presence in multiple countries and a strong Australian footprint.

Due to continued growth and succession planning, the firm is seeking a Senior Manager – Business Services & Tax Advisory with a clear progression pathway to Partner for the right individual.

The Opportunity

This is a senior leadership role combining technical expertise, client ownership and people leadership. You will work closely with Partners as a key part of the firm’s next generation leadership group, with a genuine opportunity to progress to Director as part of the firm’s medium‑term growth strategy.

The firm has an established and growing fee base, a diversified service offering and a track record of strategic acquisitions, providing a solid platform for senior leaders who want to build long‑term careers.

Key responsibilities include:

- Managing a portfolio of business services and tax advisory clients across a range of industries
- Providing strategic tax and commercial advice to privately owned and growing businesses
- Reviewing complex financial statements, tax returns and advisory deliverables
- Acting as a trusted advisor to founders, CFOs and senior decision‑makers
- Leading, mentoring and developing Managers and junior staff




- Contributing to client growth, cross‑selling and practice development initiatives

About You

You are a technically strong and commercially minded Senior Manager who is motivated by progression, leadership and client impact.

You will ideally have:

- CA or CPA qualification
- Extensive experience in business services and tax advisory within a professional services firm
- Strong technical capability across compliance and advisory
- Proven experience managing client relationships and leading teams
- Ambition to progress to Director within a structured, supportive environment
- A collaborative leadership style and strong communication skills

Why This Role Stands Out

- Defined pathway to Director, supported by succession planning and firm growth
- Exposure to a diversified service offering including Business Services, Tax Advisory, CFO Services, R&D; Tax and Audit
- A growing firm with strong Australian presence and Asia‑Pacific connectivity
- No timesheets - work managed based on client and project budgets
- Hybrid working model (2 days from home, 3 days in the office)
- Ongoing investment in people through monthly and quarterly training, emerging leaders programs and professional development initiatives
- A dynamic, social and people‑focused culture with long‑term career pathways from junior through to partner

This opportunity will suit a Manager or Senior Manager who is looking for more than just the next role, offering visibility, influence and a genuine pathway into senior leadership within a growing advisory firm.
