About the Opportunity

n

I'm currently partnering with a progressive accounting and business advisory firm in the city fringe to find their next Practice Manager. With over 50 staff and steady growth on the horizon, the firm is evolving its structure.

n

This isn't a typical practice administration job. The Partners are looking for someone who can step back from the day-to-day admin grind to focus on what really matters: running key projects, modernizing internal systems, and building sharper ways of working across the business. Working directly alongside supportive, forward-thinking Partners, you'll have a genuine voice in how the firm scales.

Key Responsibilities

n

n
- Processes & Workflows: Review, overhaul, and roll out firm-wide workflows to remove bottlenecks and keep all divisions running smoothly.
n
- Systems & AI Innovation: Take the lead on evaluating, implementing, and championing new technology, workflow automation, and AI tools to cut out manual tasks and modernize how work gets done.
n
- Team Leadership & HR: Support and mentor the admin team, handle workload distribution, oversee recruitment, manage onboarding/offboarding, and keep HR records up to date.
n
- Projects & Facilities: Manage office upgrades, software implementations, vendor relationships, facilities, and hybrid working arrangements.
n




- Financial Admin & Payroll: Keep the engine room running by managing MYOB accounts payable, bank reconciliations, payroll, superannuation, IAS, and payroll tax compliance.
n
- Governance & Culture: Oversee insurance renewals, registrations, professional memberships, and annual compliance, while keeping office culture alive through firm events and team activities.
n
- Partner Liaison: Act as the central operational link between Partners, technical teams, and support staff.
n

n

What We're Looking For

n

n
- Public Practice Experience: Background as a Practice Manager, Operations Manager, or Senior Admin lead within an accounting firm.
n
- Systems Mindset: A genuine curiosity for tech, a drive to test current tools, and a knack for fixing clunky processes.
n
- Ownership & Communication: The confidence to take a project from concept to delivery while building great working relationships across every level of the business.
n

n

What's on Offer

n

n
- Real Autonomy: A strategic seat at the table where your operational ideas actually get listened to and implemented.
n
- Partner Access: Direct line to approachable, down-to-earth Partners who value fresh thinking.
n
- City Fringe Location: Bright, modern offices easily accessible from the city or inner suburbs.
n
- Career Growth: Variety, trust, and long-term career stability in a thriving 50+ person firm.
