Most practice manager roles are maintenance. Keep the jobs moving, keep the deadlines met, keep the partners happy, and do the same again next year.

This one is a scaling job.

Aureus Accounting has grown 100% every year and we’re on track to double again. We are going from seven seats to fourteen this financial year across three countries, and we intend to keep growing at that rate. We run on Karbon. Our client process is documented, our service standards are written down, and the technical bench is being built alongside you.

What we do not have is one person whose whole job is making that engine carry twice the volume, and then twice again. That is this role.

You will own how work flows through this practice: how it is templated, allocated, tracked, reported and improved. Not shared across a leadership team, not a slice of somebody's week. Yours. And you will own it during the window where the decisions actually compound, because the system you design for fourteen seats is the one that has to hold at twenty eight.

You can do it from wherever you live, four days a week.

What you will own

- The workflow. Karbon, end to end. Job templates, work types, stages, due dates, automation, reporting. You own how it is built and you decide how it evolves as we add services and seats.

- Who does what, by when. A real capacity view across the onshore and offshore team, work allocated to available capacity, and the rebalance happening before the deadline rather than after it.
- The lodgement programme. The calendar, the deferral position, and the weekly number that tells everyone where we actually stand.
- The numbers that show the engine is running. Utilisation, work in progress, debtors, and the one-page pack that is in the room's hands before the Tuesday leadership meeting starts.

- The team productivity. 7 accountants, growing to 14 and two client success coordinators. You keep everyone moving in the same direction.

What success looks like in the first 90 days

- Every job in the system has an owner,



a date and a stage, and it stays that way while volume climbs.
- Capacity is visible enough that allocation decisions are obvious rather than negotiated.

- The Tuesday leadership meeting runs off your pack, and the pack arrives before anyone asks for it.

Who you are

- You get genuine satisfaction from work moving. A clean board does something for you that it does not do for most people.

- You have configured a practice management system, not just used one. You know what a well-built job template is worth and what a badly built one costs.
- You think in systems. You would rather change the process than chase the exception, and you can tell which one you are looking at.

- You can get an accountant who does not report to you to work differently, by being useful rather than by escalating.
- You are calm in a lodgement crunch, and you are the one holding the shape of the week while everyone else is heads down.
- You want the growth. A practice doubling is either the best thing or the worst thing that can happen to an operations person, and you already know which one you are.

What you need to bring

- Deep hands-on experience with Karbon, or a directly comparable cloud practice management system such as Xero Practice Manager, FYI or Senta, including having configured or implemented one.

- Experience allocating work and managing capacity across an accounting or professional services team, ideally through a period of growth.
- Australian public practice experience, so you understand what a lodgement deadline actually is.
- Comfort working with an offshore team across time zones.





- Australian work rights.

Valued, not essential: work in progress and debtor management, process documentation, Ignition, and experience inside a practice that scaled quick.

What we offer

- Genuinely part time. 4 days per week for the first six months while you build, stepping to 3 days by agreement once it is running. 5 days if you would rather. We are not going to advertise part time and then need you five days, and the outcomes are scoped to the hours.

- $103,000 to $120,000 package including superannuation at 4 days, pro rata at other arrangements.
- Fully remote, anywhere in Australia, permanently. Flexible hours with core overlap agreed up front.

- A real mandate. This is a seat we are creating because the function deserves an owner, not a set of tasks handed down. You will not be asking permission to change how things work.
- Direct reporting line to the group executive.

Short chain, fast decisions, and the person who can unblock you is the person you talk to.

- A parallel track with a genuine path into group operations, with the criteria written down rather than implied.

Why Aureus Aureus Financial is an Australian financial services group across accounting, wealth advice, business education and marketing. Accounting is the division scaling hardest, which means the operating system you build is the one the business runs on for years rather than something replaced at the next restructure.

If you have spent your career making other people's practices run well, this is the one where you get to design it from the ground up and then watch it carry a doubling.

How to apply

Send your CV and a short note on this: the workflow you are proudest of building or rebuilding, what you changed, and how you knew it worked. A few paragraphs is plenty. We are more interested in that answer than in your cover letter, and the first thing we will ask you about is the number you used to know it worked.
