We are seeking an experienced Senior Tax Accountant to join our established boutique accounting, tax and financial advisory firm in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs.
This is a rare opportunity for an experienced public practice accountant who is looking for more than a traditional senior accountant position. For the right person, there is a genuine pathway to partnership and the opportunity to play a significant role in the future growth of the practice.
We have built a successful boutique practice based on strong client relationships, quality advice and a supportive and pleasant working environment. We are looking for someone who shares these values and is interested in building a long-term future with us.

Tax planning and providing practical taxation advice
Preparation and review of BAS and other compliance obligations
Providing accounting and business advisory services to clients
Developing strong, long-term client relationships
Identifying opportunities to improve client outcomes and internal processes
Collaborating with colleagues across the business to deliver exceptional client service
Liaising with the ATO and other skilled advisers
Reviewing work and mentoring junior team members
Maintaining high professional and ethical standards
Taking an active role in the continued growth and development of the practice
About you
We are looking for a senior, technically strong and commercially minded accountant who is ready for the next stage of their career.
You will have:
10+ years' experience in Australian public practice
A tertiary qualification in Accounting
CA or CPA qualification
Strong Australian tax and accounting knowledge
Demonstrated experience preparing financial statements and tax returns
Significant experience managing a portfolio of clients independently
Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
A high level of attention to detail and professional judgement
The ability to work autonomously while contributing positively to the wider team
A genuine interest in business advisory and client relationships
Strong experience with cloud-based accounting platforms
The confidence and maturity to take on increasing responsibility within the practice
Most importantly, you will be someone who values quality, integrity, client relationships and teamwork and who is looking to make a genuine long‑term contribution.
This is an opportunity to join a successful boutique practice with a genuinely supportive and pleasant culture.
We offer:
A genuine pathway to partnership for the right candidate
A high-quality and diverse client base
A role combining tax, accounting and business advisory
Significant autonomy and responsibility
Direct access to experienced principals
A supportive, collaborative and friendly team environment
Modern cloud-based systems and technology
Ongoing professional and career development
A strong focus on quality rather than a high-volume compliance environment
An attractive remuneration package commensurate with experience
The opportunity
If you have 10+ years of public practice experience, enjoy working directly with clients and are looking for an opportunity where your contribution can genuinely influence the future of a boutique advisory practice, we would like to hear from you.
This is not simply a Senior Accountant position — it is an opportunity to become an integral part of the practice with a genuine pathway to partnership.
