Help build our Queensland presence from the ground up
Next Level Accountants is a boutique firm with a sharp focus: trades and construction businesses. From our Victorian base in Torquay, we service clients across Australia — and we're now establishing our Gold Coast presence. This role is central to it.
About Us
We're not a generalist suburban practice. We work with builders, subcontractors and trade businesses nationally, delivering compliance, bookkeeping, Virtual CFO, business improvement and SMSF services. We run a modern stack — Xero, Karbon, Microsoft 365 — and we invest seriously in AI and automation, so our accountants spend their time on advice, not admin.

Prepare and review financial statements and income tax returns across companies, trusts, partnerships and individuals
Manage BAS/IAS, FBT and Division 7A obligations across client groups
Lead tax planning and deliver proactive advice clients actually act on
