The Business This well-regarded and long-established firm is part of a national network of accounting and advisory firms. It has more than 70 years of history and offices across Australia and New Zealand. Its wealth business works alongside the firm's accountants, so clients get comprehensive advice on tax, structuring, superannuation and wealth.
The firm is entrepreneurial and flexible, and takes a progressive approach to career development. The business is growing and has created two Senior Paraplanner roles to support its advice teams and an expanding client base.
About the Roles
There are two Paraplanner roles. They will support the existing advisers while the business focuses on growth. You'll work on complex, compelling plans and work closely with the external paraplanning team so that every client document is of the highest quality.
Both roles can be permanent or contract. If you prefer contract work, we can discuss a 6-month contract with an immediate start. Contracts may lead to a longer-term role. Senior candidates who can take ownership of technical quality, or mentor others, will be highly regarded.
