Business Services Manager – Warwick | Lead the Practice Within 2 Years
This is a rare opportunity for an experienced Business Services professional to step into a Manager role in Warwick with a clear runway to Practice Principal within two years.
You’ll take on a diverse portfolio of business services and tax clients, leading a small team while being backed by the resources, technical support and career structure of a broader group. This isn’t a standalone office left to fend for itself. You’ll have access to specialist support across audit, financial planning and finance, along with a genuine succession plan mapped out from day one.
This is the kind of chance that rarely comes up in regional QLD, a real pathway to ownership and leadership, without having to build a practice from scratch or go it alone.

- Review work prepared by accountants within the team
- Build and maintain strong client relationships, acting as a trusted advisor
- Mentor and develop junior and intermediate staff
- Work closely with the Principal on practice strategy and growth
- Step into a leadership pathway with the practice earmarked to be led by you within 2 years
