Considering a move from Australia? Join a respected Dunedin advisory firm where you'll work on challenging tax matters, advise quality clients, and be part of a supportive team. Whether you're looking to advance your career or make the move from Australia to New Zealand, this role offers the opportunity to achieve both qualified success and genuine work-life balance.

For experienced Australian tax professionals, the combination of career progression, interesting tax work, affordable living, and lifestyle will usually be more compelling than salary alone, so I'd make those four themes prominent throughout the advert.

What you will do

- Provide a range of tax advice to clients, from SMEs through to large corporates
- Research and interpret tax legislation to provide practical, well-considered advice
- Work directly with clients and support the training and development of others
- Develop practical strategies to resolve client problems
- Build your tax career within a highly experienced and supportive team

What you will bring

- A BCom and/or LLB, with experience providing tax advice directly to clients. Ideally this would be three years plus, however less experienced candidates will be considered.
- Outstanding people and problem-solving skills, with the ability to build positive client relationships

Why Polson Higgs?

- A competitive salary package aligned with your qualifications and experience
- Ongoing professional development and tailored mentoring
- Opportunities for career progression, including management responsibilities
- A vibrant,



caring culture with regular social activities and community involvement
- Supportive environment where your wellbeing matters

Why Dunedin? Relocating to Dunedin offers an opportunity to build a rewarding career without sacrificing lifestyle. It's a city where professional success and personal wellbeing can genuinely coexist.

- Commute times are measured in minutes, not hours, giving you more time for family, sport, and the things you enjoy.
- Housing remains more affordable than many major Australian and New Zealand cities, making home ownership and lifestyle upgrades more achievable.
- A welcoming, family-friendly community with excellent schools and a strong sense of connection.
- Easy access to stunning coastlines, walking and cycling trails, wildlife, and outdoor recreation, all within minutes of the city.
- The benefits of a regional lifestyle while still working with sophisticated businesses and complex tax issues.
