## Responsive. Approachable. Proactive. These are not buzzwords for us – they are how we work and how our clients experience us every day. We are a well‑established, forward‑thinking public accounting practice in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane, working with a diverse range of business clients across multiple industries. Due to the departure of a long‑standing senior team member, we are seeking an experienced Senior Accountant to join our Business Services & Tax team. This is an in‑office role, with systems and processes in place to allow seamless working from home when required. ## Why This Role Stands Out ## ✔ Senior‑Level Autonomy You will manage your own client portfolio and run jobs end‑to‑end. This is not a junior or training role. You will be trusted to apply your experience, professional judgement and technical knowledge. ## ✔ Genuine Flexibility We are open to part‑time or full‑time arrangements. For the right person, something like approximately 5 hours per day works well – without compromising the quality of work or level of responsibility. ## ✔ Quality Clients & Long‑Term Relationships Our clients are commercially focused and value advice. We prioritise long‑term relationships over volume‑driven compliance work. ## The Role – What You'll Be Doing As a Senior Accountant in our Business Services & Tax team, you will:
- Manage a portfolio of business and individual clients
- Prepare and review financial statements and income tax returns
- Apply and advise on Division 7A, Capital Gains Tax (CGT) and Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT)
- Handle client queries directly and confidently
- Review and finalise work prepared by others in consultation with the Partner

- You can manage a client job from start to finish

- You want flexibility without stepping back professionally ## Location & Benefits
- Office based in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane, close to public transport and amenities
