An exciting opportunity to shape the future of a growing accounting firm.

KHI Partners is looking for an experienced, motivated and ambitious Bookkeeper to join our growing team and play a key role in developing our bookkeeping division and external CFO services.

This is more than a traditional bookkeeping role. We’re looking for someone who enjoys building strong client relationships, takes pride in delivering exceptional service and has the entrepreneurial mindset to help grow a successful division, with the opportunity to build and lead a team as the business expands.

About KHI Partners

KHI Partners is a forward-thinking global and multi-disciplinary advisory group led by senior management with Big 4 backgrounds. With 53 Partners and over 217 team members across Australia, the UK, New Zealand and the Philippines, KHI Partners is growing rapidly, with expansion into Melbourne and Canada planned for 2026 and beyond. We maintain a strong, collaborative culture while building close and trusted relationships with our clients.

This position is based at KHI JGM Accountants in Cairns, part of the broader KHI Partners group. We combine the resources and expertise of a multidisciplinary professional group with the personal service and close working relationships of a local Cairns team.

We work with a diverse range of clients and businesses, providing accounting, taxation, bookkeeping and advisory services. Our approach goes beyond compliance, with a focus on delivering practical, commercially minded solutions that create real value for our clients.

About the Role

Initially,



you’ll manage a portfolio of bookkeeping clients, providing high-quality bookkeeping, financial reporting and support across a diverse range of businesses.

As the division grows, you’ll have the opportunity to take on a leadership role, building and mentoring a team, implementing efficient systems and processes, and helping shape the future direction of our bookkeeping and external CFO services.

We’re looking for someone who wants to take ownership, bring fresh ideas and play an active role in growing the business.

Key Responsibilities

About You

You’re an experienced bookkeeper or accountant who combines strong technical skills with commercial awareness, initiative and a genuine passion for working with clients.

You enjoy taking ownership of your work, identifying opportunities for improvement and finding better ways to do things. Just as importantly, you’re excited by the prospect of building something, rather than simply stepping into an established role.

Ideally, you’ll have:

- Strong bookkeeping experience and a sound understanding of accounting principles.
- Demonstrated experience with MYOB, Xero and QuickBooks Online.
- Experience managing multiple clients, competing priorities and deadlines.
- Excellent attention to detail and strong organisational skills.
