KHI Accounting Brisbane is a well-established, forward-thinking Chartered Accounting and advisory practice based in Spring Hill. As part of the broader KHI Partners group, we combine the resources of a multidisciplinary firm with the personal service and close working relationships of a local Brisbane team.

We work with a diverse portfolio of privately owned businesses and value accurate, proactive and commercially minded service. We are now seeking an experienced Senior Bookkeeper to strengthen our Brisbane team and take ownership of a critical part of the firm’s compliance program

About KHI Partners

KHI Partners is a forward-thinking global and multi-disciplinary advisory firm led by senior management with Big 4 backgrounds. With 51 Partners and over 213 team members across Australia, the UK and the Philippines, and expansion into Melbourne and Recent Zealand planned for 2026, we are growing rapidly while maintaining a strong, collaborative culture.

We work with sophisticated clients-many with complex investment property portfolios-and go beyond compliance to deliver strategic, advisory-focused solutions that create real value.

This is a hands-on Senior Bookkeeper role with meaningful responsibility from day one. You will manage the firm’s activity statement lodgment program, coordinate workflow and deadlines, review work prepared by junior and offshore accountants, and provide practical coaching to help the team deliver accurate, review-ready work on time.

For the right person, this role offers more than a traditional bookkeeping career path. Following successful completion of probation and subject to demonstrated performance, cultural fit and commercial alignment, there is scope to help establish and lead a dedicated bookkeeping firm, with the potential to participate in equity under a separately agreed arrangement

Key Responsibilities

Own and manage the firm’s activity statement lodgment program, including workflow planning,



deadline monitoring and escalation of risks or delays

Prepare and review BAS, IAS, GST, PAYG withholding, PAYG instalment and related compliance work across a multi-client portfolio

Review work prepared by junior and offshore accountants, provide clear feedback and ensure files are accurate, complete and ready for lodgment

Mentor, train and support junior and offshore team members, including improving technical capability, consistency and accountability

Manage end-to-end bookkeeping, including bank and general ledger reconciliations, accounts payable and receivable, payroll processing and month-end reporting

Liaise directly with clients to obtain information, resolve discrepancies and provide responsive, professional support

Maintain strong quality-control, documentation and review processes consistent with the firm’s professional obligations

Identify opportunities to improve systems, standardise processes and increase efficiency across the bookkeeping function

Contribute to the planning, establishment and future growth of a dedicated bookkeeping business

Who We’re Looking For

We are looking for an experienced Senior Bookkeeper who combines strong technical capability with leadership potential and a commercial mindset.

Substantial bookkeeping experience, ideally within public practice or a multi-client environment

Strong working knowledge of GST, BAS, IAS, PAYG withholding, payroll, superannuation and reconciliations

Proven ability to manage a lodgment program, competing deadlines and a high-volume workflow





Experience reviewing others’ work and mentoring junior or offshore team members

High attention to detail, sound professional judgement and a commitment to quality

Confident, professional communication skills and the ability to build trusted client relationships

An entrepreneurial outlook and genuine interest in helping build and lead a bookkeeping business

Requirements

Certificate IV in Accounting and Bookkeeping, or an equivalent relevant qualification

Registered BAS Agent status is highly regarded, or the qualifications and experience needed to work towards registration

Advanced proficiency in Xero; experience with MYOB and other cloud accounting and workflow systems is advantageous

Ability to work effectively under a hybrid arrangement, combining time in our Spring Hill office with working from home, and to collaborate closely with local and offshore team members

What We Offer

Competitive salary package based on experience, capability and registration status

A genuine leadership role with ownership of a critical firm-wide compliance program

Direct access to experienced Partners and involvement in operational and growth decisions

The opportunity to shape systems, processes and team capability rather than simply inherit an established function

Potential to establish and lead a dedicated bookkeeping firm, with equity participation considered after successful completion of probation and subject to agreed performance and commercial criteria

A supportive, professional and collaborative Brisbane team

A modern Spring Hill office close to public transport

A flexible hybrid working arrangement, with a combination of working from home and time in our Spring Hill office

Ready to Build Something?

If you are an accomplished bookkeeper who is ready to lead, develop others and help create a high-performing bookkeeping business, we would like to hear from you.
