About us

Simic Financial is a Virtual CFO and bookkeeping firm helping growing small and medium businesses across Australia get on top of their numbers and make better decisions. We're a team of 10 across Geelong, Melbourne and the Philippines, and we've grown 250% three years in a row. Our founder, Tom Simic, was named 2025 Young Chartered Accountant of the Year.

We're small enough that you'll know everyone and have a real say in how things are done. We're also growing quick enough that there's plenty of room to grow with us. Our clients keep asking us to handle their tax too, but we don't offer it yet. That's why we're bringing in a dedicated tax specialist to set it up.

The role

You'll be our go-to tax expert and, in most cases, the final sign-off on tax returns and financials.

Your main focus at the start will be setting up our tax systems. That covers workflows, checklists, software and review processes. The client base is already there from our CFO and bookkeeping work, so you won't be starting from zero. It's your chance to shape the tax side of the practice the way you think it should run.

You'll work with our CFO and bookkeeping teams so that everything lines up for the client.

What you'll do

- Set up our tax systems, processes and workflows from scratch
- Prepare, review and lodge financial statements and tax returns for companies, trusts, partnerships and individuals




- Be the final sign-off on tax and financials for most clients
- Advise on structuring, restructures and rollovers as clients grow
- Stay across legislation changes and keep the team and clients informed
- Handle ATO and ASIC matters for client groups
- Work with our CFO advisory team so tax and strategy advice line up
- If it interests you, help build out our small business advisory offering. This part is optional, not expected.

What you'll bring

- CA or CPA qualification
- At least 7 years of Australian tax experience across SMEs and multi-entity groups
- Confidence preparing and lodging tax returns and financials, and signing off on them without someone checking your work
- A genuine interest in staying on top of legislation
- The ability to work independently and remotely
- Registered Tax Agent status, or progress toward it, is a plus

What we offer

- A flexible 3-day week that fits around school runs and family life. We care about good work and deadlines met, not hours at a desk.
- The option to work from anywhere in Australia, with only occasional days at our Geelong office
- $180k + super (full-time equivalent), pro rata
- An existing client base ready for tax, so there's no business development required
- Support from our bookkeeping team on prep work and from our practice manager on admin
- The freedom to design the tax service your way from day one

How to apply Apply through LinkedIn. A cover letter is optional but heavily favoured, as is proximity to Geelong!
