Client Manager | Business Services & Advisory

Salary: $115,000 to $145,000 package + annual bonus

Why This Role
n
This is not a traditional Supervisor or Client Manager role where you inherit a fixed portfolio, sit under several Partners and mainly review compliance work. This role fits an ambitious accountant seeking growth and diversity in their work.
n
This is an opportunity to help build a new Adelaide office for a growing national tax and business services firm with an established portfolio.
n
You will have genuine client ownership, direct Partner support and a clear pathway toward Client Director as the South Australian business continues to grow.
n
The firm already has established offices across Sydney and Melbourne, an existing South Australian client base, and a Partner leading the region. They are now looking for the right person to be a key part of Adelaide's growth story.
n
The firm has central operational support, a client experience team, offshore support, dedicated marketing and a sales function to help generate and convert new work.
n
About Our Client
n
Our client is a growing national accounting and business services firm with established offices in Sydney and Melbourne and an expanding presence in South Australia.
n
The firm works primarily with small business owners, private clients and growing businesses, with a typical client base in the $5m to $10m revenue range. Larger clients exceed $50m.
n
The business has a structured growth model built around client pods, giving each senior team member the support of accountants, juniors, cadets,



offshore staff and central client experience support as the portfolio grows.
n
This is a robust environment for someone who wants more ownership, more progression and more involvement in building something than a standard public practice role usually offers.
n
The Role
n
As Supervisor/Client Manager, you will take ownership of your own client ledger and help establish the firm's Adelaide presence.
n
Your responsibilities will include:
n
Managing a portfolio of business services and tax clients
n
Building strong relationships with small business owners
n
Reviewing financial statements, tax returns and compliance work
n
Providing tax advice across FBT, Division 7A, GST and CGT concessions
n
Advising clients on budgeting, planning and practical business matters
n
Working closely with the South Australian Partner and broader leadership team
n
Using central support across client experience, marketing, sales and administration
n
Leveraging onshore & offshore support
n
This role will require some adaptability while the Adelaide office becomes established, but you will have access to national systems, training, operational support and senior leaders across the firm.
n
What You'll Bring
n
Strong Australian public practice experience in business services and tax
n
Readiness to step into broader client ownership and leadership responsibility
n




Strong technical capability across tax, compliance and advisory work
n
Confidence managing client relationships
n
Experience advising small business owners
n
Strong communication skills and a people-focused approach
n
Tech-savvy approach and comfort with cloud-based systems
n
This role will suit an ambitious Senior Accountant ready to step up, or an existing Supervisor, Assistant Manager or Manager looking for a clearer pathway into client leadership.
n
What's On Offer
n
$115,000 to $145,000 package & annual bonus
n
Direct support from the South Australian Partner
n
Backing from established Sydney and Melbourne offices
n
Client ledger ownership from day one
n
Opportunity to hire and build your own team over time
n
Central client experience support for ASIC, ATO and client administration
n
Dedicated sales and marketing support to help grow the Adelaide ledger
n
Access to established systems, training and national operational support
n
Values-driven, high-performance team culture
n
Why This Is Different
n
Most Supervisor or Client Manager roles involve stepping into an existing structure and managing an inherited workflow.
n
This role is different because you will help build a new Adelaide office, grow a client ledger, shape the local team and work directly with senior leaders.
n
You will have the backing of a national firm, established interstate offices, central support, offshore support, sales support and marketing support.
n
For the right person, this is a genuine opportunity to move beyond a standard accounting role and become part of the Adelaide growth story early.
