About The Role

An excellent opportunity has opened up for an experienced Manager or Associate Director to join a large, well-structured Business Services team in Brisbane CBD. This is a genuine leadership role reporting directly to a well-respected Partner, with the chance to build a long-term career, whether that means a clear pathway to Partnership or a strong leadership track. You will work closely with another senior leader in the team, sharing responsibility across a combined group of client-facing accountants while managing your own portfolio and direct reports.

Working closely with the Partner and fellow senior leader to manage workflow, client relationships and team development





Reviewing compliance and advisory work across a broad client base

Building and maintaining strong client relationships, with genuine enjoyment of client facing work

Contributing to the ongoing growth and direction of the team

What We Are Looking For

CA or CPA qualified accountant with strong public practice experience at Manager or Associate Director level

Proven experience managing and mentoring a team within a public practice environment

Strong technical skills across compliance and advisory work

Comfortable managing a varied client base, agribusiness exposure is well regarded but not essential

Excellent relationship building and communication skills

Genuine interest in either a Partnership pathway or a long term leadership career

2 days WFH & flexible hours

Clear and genuinely supported pathway to Partnership, or an alternative long term leadership career track

Work directly with warm, engaging and highly experienced Partners known for excellent mentoring
