THE OPPORTUNITY A rare opportunity to join a highly regarded specialist accounting and advisory firm as a Manager / Senior Accountant, with a clear and genuine pathway to partnership within around five years. Established for close to four decades, our client is a boutique, high-calibre practice whose client profile and fee levels sit alongside the mid-tier firms, without the volume, red tape or generalist work. This is a business turning work away rather than chasing it, so you join a stable, highly profitable firm with real room to build both your portfolio and your career.
THE ROLE
This is a genuine dual role. You will manage your own portfolio while reviewing and signing off complex work across the wider team. Day to day you will:
- Own and grow a portfolio of around twenty significant business services and tax clients
- Review and sign off complex tax and technical matters from the team, mentoring as you go
- Lead ATO negotiations, audit management and Small Business Restructures
- Supervise and develop a team of six, including senior and intermediate accountants
- Work alongside the partners on the firm's most complex and compelling matters, including forensic, litigation and advisory work
ABOUT YOU
- Strong technical background in complex business services and tax at a reputable firm
- Confident dealing directly with the ATO
- Proven leadership, comfortable supervising and reviewing a small team
- Ambitious and commercially minded, genuinely motivated by partnership
- A clear, confident communicator who builds trust with clients and colleagues
- Full Australian working rights (no sponsorship is available for this role)
WHAT IS ON OFFER
- up to $160,000+ base plus superannuation (dependent on experience)
- Commission and rewards for bringing in new clients
- A genuine, mapped pathway to partnership
- Complex, high-calibre work you will not find in a suburban practice, spanning forensic, litigation, ATO challenges and restructures
- A tight-knit, diverse and genuinely happy team with a strong culture
- Move into a brand new, purpose-built office within the next year
- Based in Melbourne's inner north, five days on site initially, with flexibility once you are established
