A bit about us

Trekk Advisory is a modern accounting and advisory firm working alongside business owners as they grow.

We go beyond compliance reports, using the numbers as a foundation to help our clients understand their business, make better decisions, and move forward with clarity and purpose.

Our team is down‑earth, switched on, and genuinely invested in our clients’ success. Internally, we focus on creating an environment where people are supported, trusted, and given room to grow.

Trekk North Queensland is locally owned and operated, and part of a broader national Trekk community. Across our network, we collaborate to develop better systems, processes, and ways of working, drawing on shared knowledge and experience to improve outcomes for both our clients and our team. For you, that means the feel of a smaller, supportive team, with access to the opportunities, resources and thinking of a much larger firm.

About the role

We’re looking for an intermediate to senior accountant to manage a client base and who is looking for more than just compliance work. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working directly with clients and is looking to build their advisory capability over time.

While our head office is based in Townsville,



we also have a presence in Mount Isa and are open to remote team members. What matters most to us is finding the right person—location is flexible for the right fit.

What that looks like day‑to‑day:

- Build strong relationships with a portfolio of clients. You’ll be a key point of contact, not just working in the background
- Manage the compliance work requirements, guiding and reviewing work from junior and offshore team members
- Work closely with the directors on client strategy and advisory conversations
- Take ownership of your client work, with the support of a collaborative team around you
- Continue developing your technical and advisory skillset as your role evolves
- We operate in a trust-based environment. There’s support when you need it, and space to take ownership where you’re ready.

What you’ll be doing

- Managing the compliance work across your client portfolio, including delegating, guiding and reviewing the work of your team
- Managing day-to-day compliance requirements across your client portfolio
- Communicating with the ATO and handling client queries as they arise




- Big picture financial analysis and identifying opportunities to improve client outcomes (cash flow, tax, structure, etc.)
- Supporting advisory work and gradually stepping into more client-facing strategy conversations
- Reviewing and delegating work to junior and outsourced team members

What you’ll bring

- 5+ years’ experience in public practice
- Working towards (or completed) CA/CPA
- Solid technical understanding of tax and accounting for SMEs
- Confidence communicating with clients in a clear, straightforward way
- Experience with cloud-based systems (Xero, XPM, etc.)
- Ability to manage your time, priorities, and client expectations
- Strong communication skills, with the ability to guide and mentor junior team members
- A practical, solutions-focused approach to problem solving and client challenges
- Most importantly, you care about delivering outstanding work for your clients and being part of a team that supports each other.

Benefits

- Adaptable working arrangements, including WFH and remote working options
- Early finish every Friday
- Paid support for CA/CPA (including fees and study leave)
- Ongoing training and development (internal and external)
- Direct access to partners and hands‑on mentorship
- Regular team days and a genuinely positive team environment
- Office parking and easy access to public transport

A note on salary

Salary will be based on your experience, capability, and the value you bring to the role. We’re open to having that conversation upfront.
