Ready to accelerate your accounting career?
We don't hire accountants to process tax returns. We develop trusted business advisers.
At Connect Advisors, we are a fast growing boutique advisory and business services firm based in Melbourne's Docklands. We work with an exceptional portfolio of clients ranging from entrepreneurial businesses with annual turnover up to 500 millions including public listed companies, investment funds, overseas high profile companies, high-net-worth groups and other well-established businesses.
This isn't an environment where you'll spend years preparing the same tax returns.
You'll work alongside experienced directors, solve complex business and tax issues, interact directly with clients, and gain exposure to advisory work that many accountants don't experience until much later in their careers.
If you're ambitious, enjoy being challenged, and want to become an outstanding adviser rather than simply a compliance accountant, we'd love to meet you.
Why Join Connect Advisors?
Work with sophisticated clients
Our client portfolio is far from ordinary. You'll gain exposure to:
Public companies
Investment and managed funds
AFSL licensees
Small to large privately owned businesses
This means you'll be exposed to complex tax, business advisory and commercial matters that will significantly accelerate your professional development.
Be challenged every day
No two days are the same.
You'll work on diverse engagements involving tax planning, business advisory, complex compliance, restructures, due diligence, corporate transactions and strategic business advice.




If you're someone who enjoys learning, solving problems and continuously developing your technical skills, you'll thrive here.
Learn from experienced professionals
We are passionate about developing exceptional accountants.
You'll receive ongoing mentoring from directors and senior professionals, regular internal technical training, external professional development opportunities, and hands-on experience with sophisticated tax and advisory matters that go well beyond traditional accounting work.
