You will work across family groups, privately owned businesses, medical professionals, property developers, trades, professional-services clients, high-net-worth individuals and SMSFs. The variety extends beyond industry: you will see different structures, entity types, transaction issues and stages of business growth, helping you build broader technical judgement without being pigeonholed. Your initial work will sit roughly at: Financial statements and tax compliance (65%), Tax planning (10%), Business and strategic advisory (10%), SMSF work (10%), Business improvement projects (5%). The compliance work is varied and often involves larger clients, multiple entities and issues requiring careful technical consideration. As your capability develops, you will receive increasing exposure to tax planning, advisory assignments, client discussions and the review and development of junior team members.
