Audit, Assurance & Corporate Advisory

Audit Manager/Assistant Manager - GOLD COAST OR LISMORE NSW (NEAR BYRON BAY) LOCATION

Why are we chatting?

- You're living interstate and a change to the Gold Coast or Byron Bay area might be just what you need where you can live a better lifestyle, get more time back for you but still maintain a professional career with plenty of growth opportunity and upside.

- The Audit & Assurance profession is under the microscope right now. Increasing regulation, structural change, innovation and A.I, 'large firms' in the media spotlight for all the wrong reasons.....We know a lot of people want a change from their current situation.

- Experience: You like audit because it offers you something that other roles don't. LOTS of variety, challenges your thinking, makes you grow like no other. The self-development and exposure audit gives you fast-tracks your development and career progression. Now has never been a better time to be in the audit profession with so much opportunity.

- You've been through the busy season in your current role, you're 'over' the 'head office' budgets and strategies being mandated to you which don't resonate with your office, your partners can't control the outcomes, you're just a 'number' in a larger pie.

About Us:

The phone is ringing, the emails are hitting our inbox, we're in Australia's fastest growing corridor of Northern NSW and the Gold Coast. With two office locations at Robina on the Gold Coast (right near the train station) and in Lismore NSW (near Byron Bay).

We are a leading mid-tier professional services firm specialising in Audit & Assurance and Corporate Advisory,



providing high-quality services to clients across various industries. Being a member of HLB Mann Judd means we're part of the 8th largest accounting firm in the world. In practical terms it means we have the resources of a large firm but we're independently owned and operated - we can make our own decisions without being dictated to by a 'head office'.

Why join us? Because we’re different. We’re a contemporary business with a ‘challenger mindset’ (google that term if you need to!). Our Partners are in our 40's and industry leading experts; our team is well-trained, professional and likes to enjoy ourselves! Come and ask us what we do for fun – it embodies #whywe’redifferent! Our vision is to be the destination of choice for Partners, our People and our Clients. We involve our team in our strategic thinking and give them ownership of the destination. We also don't get A.I to write our recruitment ad's!

But we don't take on new work unless we KNOW we can deliver - now is the time to invest in our team.

What We Offer:

- Competitive salary and benefits package commensurate with your experience and aspirations. We will also assist with relocation benefits for the right candidate.





- Supportive team environment with opportunities for growth opportunities and development. We don't promote based on tenure with the firm - it's all performance based and it always has been!

- A client base that envies Big 4 and large mid-tier firms. We're punching well above our weight. And we like it that way.

- Flexible work environment and work-life balance. Just as a start, we only work half-day Fridays from November to January – because we’re different. Come and tell us how you can make your role work.

To give you an idea of how we roll, we've recently collaborated as a team and developed the following behaviours for our success:

- Own it: Take pride in doing your best work and follow through on what you commit to.

- Do what you say you will do: Follow through on your commitments and deliver on your promises.

- Act now – do now: Be proactive, make decisions and keep things moving.

- Collaborate: Work as one team, share knowledge and help others succeed.

- Learn and improve: Reflect, debrief and turn experience into better ways of working.

- Bring a positive and challenging mindset: Embrace constructive challenge, step outside your comfort zone and stretch yourself.

- Stay open: Be curious, welcome feedback and be willing to learn new things.

How to Apply:

You need to resonate with our culture. We'll provide the opportunity. Tell us what the above means to you and why. Please submit your CV and a cover letter detailing your experience and let's chat! You can start before Christmas or sometime in the New Year - whatever suits you!
