Job Description
Senior Accountant – 4-Day Week, Advisory-Focused Role | Birtinya, Sunshine Coast
n
ABA Advice – Advice Beyond Accounting
n
Birtinya, Sunshine Coast QLD (Hybrid)
n
Full-time or Part-time | $110,000 – $120,000 + flexibility & lifestyle benefits
n
What's in it for you?
n
n
4-day work week — get paid for 38 hours, work 32. Genuine time back for the things that matter outside the office.
n
Advisory-led work, not compliance-only — the majority of our portfolio is business advisory and forward-planning, not just lodgements and BAS. You'll be helping clients build wealth and structure their businesses, not just filing their returns.
n
Mentoring built into the role — you'll shape the growth of our accountants while continuing to develop your own technical and leadership skills.
n
Modern tech stack — Karbon, Xero Practice Manager, Ignition, BGL360, O365, Monday.com, Change GPS — so you're not wrestling with outdated systems.
n
Option to progress to a Client Advisor role (if and when you're ready)
n
n
The Chance
n
At ABA, we do exactly what our name says — we go beyond the numbers. This role is for a Senior Accountant who wants more than a compliance desk: you'll manage a portfolio of clients — SMEs, established family businesses — working directly with clients on both the numbers and what those numbers mean for their goals.
n




You'll bring strong technical accounting skills and pair them with the kind of advisory thinking that turns a set of financial statements into a genuine growth conversation. Over time, there's a real pathway into a leadership role within the team — this isn't a placeholder title, it's a role with a trajectory.
n
You'll Enjoy Working With:
n
n
A high-performing, friendly team who love what they do
n
Leaders who genuinely invest in your professional growth
n
n
What You'll Bring
n
n
5 years' experience in public practice, ideally with exposure to both compliance and advisory work
n
While a CA or CPA qualification is welcomed, we're equally interested in candidates who bring proven accounting experience, sound technical knowledge, and a collaborative leadership approach
n
Confidence in client conversations — you'll be trusted with real relationships
n
A genuine interest in mentoring and developing others
n
n
About Us
n
We're a values-driven team of professionals who are also parents, runners, volunteers, and more. We show up every day to make a difference — for our clients, our team, and our community.
n
Why ABA?
n
We're not your average firm — and we're proud of that. Our growth comes from referrals, not cold calling. Our people stay because they're valued, supported, and genuinely enjoy the work they do.
