We are looking for an experienced Senior Accountant or Supervisor with a strong Business Services background to join our growing team. You'll bring solid experience from Australian public practice, with the technical capability to independently manage compliance work across companies, trusts, partnerships and individuals, while building trusted relationships with your clients.

Depending on your experience and capability, you may join us at Senior Accountant or Supervisor level .

If you've built strong foundations in Business Services and are looking for an opportunity to broaden your exposure into genuine business advisory work – or you're already operating at Supervisor level and looking for your next opportunity – we'd love to hear from you.

About Us

We believe accounting should be proactive, strategic and genuinely helpful.

We partner with businesses of all sizes – from small private enterprises to large private groups – across industries including retail, manufacturing, mining and professional services.

Our team combines strong technical foundations with a people-first, technology-driven approach to advisory support, helping clients simplify their financial management, understand their numbers and make confident, real-time decisions.

We're a modern, relationship-focused boutique firm that values collaboration, transparency and continuous improvement. If you're looking to build on your Business Services experience and move beyond traditional compliance into broader advisory work, you'll have the opportunity to do that here.

The Opportunity

This is a hands-on Business Services and Advisory role working closely with our Director and broader team across a diverse portfolio of privately owned businesses.

You'll take ownership of core Business Services work, including financial statements, tax returns, tax planning and client queries, while developing deeper exposure across structuring, forecasting, valuations, financial modelling, due diligence, and management and board reporting.

We're looking for someone who already has strong Business Services foundations and can confidently manage complex accounting work with minimal supervision.

At Senior Accountant level , you'll take ownership of your work and client relationships, manage competing priorities and continue developing your technical and advisory capability.

At Supervisor level , you'll bring all of the above, with greater responsibility for managing engagements from scope through to completion, delegating and reviewing work, developing team members, managing budgets and workflow, and building stronger professional relationships with clients.
