Have you outgrown your current role?

Still doing Senior-level work — without the equity, the title, or the autonomy to match?

Principal, Tax & Business Advisory A Genuine Career Progression Pathway — Ground Floor of a New Breed of Advisory Firm

Not Another Accounting Job.

Felix Partners is a new breed of tax and business advisory practice — built for founders and growing companies who've outgrown the suburban accountant but have no interest in mid-tier bureaucracy. We combine senior, principal-level expertise with a modern, technology-led delivery model. We're early. We're ambitious. And we're looking for one exceptional person to help build this firm from its formative stage — not join as employee two hundred of someone else's playbook.

The Opportunity

This is a rare, ground-floor fee share opportunity role for a Chartered Accountant who wants more than a seat at someone else's table. You'll bring your own expertise, judgement and client relationships, and combine them with a premium brand, an enterprise-grade technology stack, and full administrative and back-office support — while retaining genuine autonomy over how you work and who you work with.

This isn't a conventional salaried employed role, and it isn't solo practice either — it's something built deliberately to give an exceptional practitioner the best of both: the backing of a serious firm, without losing the independence that made you good at this in the first place. And for the right person, it comes with a genuine, structured pathway to a meaningful career progression as the firm scales — not a vague promise, a real conversation from day one about what that looks like and when.

What You'll Bring

- Chartered Accountant (CA) or a CPA qualification is a pre requisite




- Experience in a managing client portfolio in a Public Practice across accounting and taxation — technically excellent, commercially sharp, comfortable advising founders and business owners directly.
- A track record and professional network you're proud of — existing client relationships and referral connections are a genuine asset here, not a formality.
- High ambition and a builder's mindset — you want to shape something, not administer it. You're looking for career progression that isn't capped by someone else's org chart.
- Australian citizen or Permanent Resident with unrestricted Visa employment rights in Australia.

What's In It For You

- A genuine, structured pathway to a meaningful career progression.
- A premium, established brand and enterprise-grade technology from day one — without the years usually needed to build it yourself.
- Full back-office, compliance and administrative support, so your time goes to clients and strategy, not admin.
- Real autonomy over how you deliver your work — this is built for someone who wants ownership, not oversight.
- The chance to genuinely shape a firm's direction at its most formative stage — market-leading earning potential, commensurate with experience and the equity opportunity on offer.

Important Note on Engagement Structure

Please note that this is a commercial partnership and independent contractor prospect, not a salaried employment position. You will be operating your own business and controlling your own financial trajectory leveraging the Felix Partners platform.

A Confidential Conversation

This opportunity is being managed with discretion. If you're a CA or CPA who's outgrown where you are and wants to build something that's actually yours, we'd like to talk — confidentially, no obligation.
