The first Pillar Two returns just went in. The ATO is circling private groups. Somewhere in Sydney, a founder is reading a letter from the ATO with a second generation coming through the business and a subsidiary offshore, and she has one question: "what do we do now?" At this firm, the person she calls is the tax manager.

That could be you. You'd have your own portfolio of corporate, private and listed groups and a partner who wants you in the meeting. The advice would go out with your name on it.

If you've built your career in Australian corporate tax, this is open to you. On a sponsored visa? Transfers are welcome. Based in Melbourne or Brisbane and wondering what life looks like on the harbour? Great - keep reading, it gets good.

We’ve partnered with a leading Top 10 firm in the Sydney CBD. Their clients are Australia's middle market: family groups, private businesses and corporates, many turning over $50 million or more. Managers here sit close to the partners and own their client relationships. Restructures, deals and international work come your way early.

The timing is valuable. Around 8,200 private groups are in the ATO’s sights, and the rules on interest deductions and cross-border structures keep shifting.



Clients want someone who can tell them what it all means in plain English, and they want that person on speed dial.
