Senior Manager or Associate Director - Business Services

Step into a senior leadership role with a growing firm in Brisbane's inner suburbs serving an expanding portfolio of $40m to $100m turnover clients.

About The Role

This is an outstanding opportunity for a technically strong Business Services leader to join a well established Brisbane firm at the Senior Manager or Associate Director level. The firm services a portfolio of privately owned and family businesses. As the firm continues to win larger, more complex clients in the $40m to $100m turnover range, they are looking for someone who can lead from the front technically, manage senior client relationships and mentor a growing team.

What You Will Be Doing

- Managing a portfolio of complex clients, including groups turning over $40m to $100m
- Reviewing and overseeing financial statements, tax returns and complex compliance work for companies, trusts and groups
- Providing high level advisory support including structuring, forecasting and cash flow management
- Building and maintaining strong relationships with business owners, CFOs and other key stakeholders
- Leading, mentoring and developing a team of accountants
- Working closely with Partners and Directors on business development and firm growth initiatives
- Reviewing work prepared by senior staff and providing technical guidance





What We Are Looking For

- CA or CPA qualified
- Strong technical background in Business Services, ideally gained across mid tier, second tier or Big 4 firms
- Proven experience managing clients in the $40m to $100m turnover range is essential, regardless of firm background
- Demonstrated leadership experience managing and developing a team
- Strong communication skills and the ability to build trust with senior stakeholders
- A genuine interest in being part of a firm's continued growth and success
- Clear KPIs set from day one to support your progression to Director
- Bonus scheme available, up to $40k per year
- Exposure to a growing portfolio of larger, more complex clients
- A genuinely collaborative culture across service lines, with a client first mindset rather than a focus on who gets credit for the fee
- 2 days WFH & flexible hours
- Ongoing career development including sales and soft skills training
- Involvement in firm strategy and growth planning
- Large investment in AI and service offering to clients

If you are a Senior Manager or Associate Director level accountant who wants autonomy, exposure to bigger clients and a real say in where the firm goes next, this is worth a conversation.
