We're BDO, a global professional services firm connected to local markets. Our people work together to provide specialist expertise, helping businesses achieve their goals.

We inspire others, to go further. We create together, to reach higher. We build trust, to lead purposefully.

Whether you're building your future or starting your career with us, you won't do it alone. From creating solutions for our clients to building careers for our people, we shape what matters, and that's where you come in.

About the Role

We are seeking a Manager to join our Sydney-based International Business Services team.

If you're looking for more than a traditional compliance-focused role - one that offers genuine client engagement, international exposure, leadership opportunities and involvement in sophisticated businesses and investment structures we would love to hear from you.

Join a team where you'll work alongside international clients, global investors and experienced leaders, helping businesses navigate the opportunities and challenges of operating across borders.

You will play a leading role across a portfolio of international businesses and institutional investment clients, taking responsibility for key client relationships, engagement delivery and team leadership within complex client environments.

You will have the opportunity to take ownership of significant client-facing responsibilities while contributing to the continued growth and development of the practice.

Our Managers are involved throughout the year, working directly with clients, overseas stakeholders and senior decision-makers as part of an outsourced finance function rather than participating solely in an annual compliance cycle.





European and international groups operating across sectors including technology, engineering, healthcare, renewable energy and advanced manufacturing

Global and listed fund managers with Australian real estate and infrastructure investments

Foreign-owned subsidiaries requiring local finance, reporting and compliance support

Institutional investors operating through complex investment and holding structures

This provides exposure to both operating businesses and institutional investment vehicles, often involving cross-border reporting, multiple stakeholders and sophisticated governance requirements.

How We Work

Our team becomes part of our clients' broader finance ecosystem, providing:

Ongoing monthly and quarterly reporting support

Financial statement preparation and review

Corporate tax and regulatory compliance oversight

Liaison with overseas finance teams and stakeholders

Governance and risk management support

Process improvement and finance transformation initiatives

Technology-enabled reporting, automation and AI-driven efficiencies

You will gain exposure to a broad range of systems including SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, Yardi, MRI and Xero, while helping clients improve efficiency through innovation and smarter ways of working.

Our Team

3 Partners and 4 Managers actively involved in client delivery





Strong collaborative culture with direct access to decision-makers

We work as one team. Many of our clients are significant organisations that require multiple managers and specialist skillsets to support them effectively. Success comes through collaboration, knowledge sharing and building long-term trusted relationships with our clients.

What's in it for you?

Direct exposure to international businesses and institutional investors

Meaningful interaction with CFOs, finance leaders and offshore stakeholders

Leadership opportunities within a growing and specialised team

Exposure to complex commercial and cross-border matters

Experience across multiple finance and reporting platforms
