Stepping into your first leadership role is a big move, and it goes a lot better when the firm around you is set up to support it. This established Brisbane accounting firm is looking for a Supervisor to join its business services team, with a long record of promoting from within and a leadership group that treats developing managers as part of the job rather than an afterthought.
The firm services a mix of owner managed businesses, family groups and investors across a range of industries, so the work is varied and the technical challenges are real. Partners are approachable and generous with their time, and the team has a reputation for being sociable, switched on and genuinely supportive of one another. A well planned increase in team size has created this opportunity for a capable Senior Accountant ready to take the next step.
ADVANTAGES AND PERKS:
Structured leadership development, with coaching on managing people and not just work
Defined pathway toward Manager
Hybrid working arrangements
Paid CA or CPA support and study leave
Regular team events and a genuinely social culture
THE ROLE:
Reporting to a Manager and working closely with a Partner, you will oversee a small team and a portfolio of clients, shifting your focus from preparing work to reviewing it.




Review financial statements and tax returns prepared by Seniors and Intermediates
Coach and develop junior team members through regular feedback
Plan workloads and keep client deliverables on track across lodgement deadlines
Handle technical queries and complex client matters before they reach the Manager
Build relationships with clients and act as a day to day contact
Contribute to tax planning conversations and improvements to team processes
THE INDIVIDUAL:
CA or CPA qualified, or currently working towards it
Solid public practice experience, ideally at Senior Accountant level or above
Strong technical knowledge across tax compliance and financial reporting for a range of entities
Some experience guiding or reviewing the work of others, or a genuine appetite to learn
