The Opportunity
Are you an experienced Business Services Manager ready to step into a Senior Manager position, or an established Senior Manager looking for greater autonomy and a genuine pathway to Partnership?
Our client is a highly regarded, established boutique chartered accounting and advisory firm based in Sydney CBD.
With over $5 million in annual fees across its broader service offering, the firm advises successful business owners, high-net-worth families and privately owned businesses, including substantial private groups with turnover exceeding $100 million.
The firm combines traditional Business Services and Tax with broader advisory capabilities, providing clients with a comprehensive range of accounting, taxation and commercial advice.
Due to continued growth, an opportunity has arisen for an experienced Business Services Senior Manager to take ownership of an established client portfolio, lead and develop a team, and work closely with the Director on complex client matters.
You will take responsibility for managing an established portfolio of private clients, overseeing compliance delivery and providing proactive business and taxation advice.
