The firm has particular strength across property, property funds, construction and development , creating an opportunity to work on more complex tax and advisory matters than you would typically find in a boutique practice, while maintaining direct access to the Directors.

This is a newly created position , driven by continued growth and the need to create additional capacity at Senior Manager and Director level.

- Reviewing complex tax and financial work and ensuring a high standard of technical delivery
- Leading and developing staff from the firm's shared resource pool
- Working closely with the Directors on complex client matters and broader advisory projects

For someone with the ambition and capability to progress further, there is a genuine pathway to Director .

You will bring:

- CA/CPA qualification – essential
- Strong Business Services & Tax experience within an Australian public practice firm
