The Company

We're working with a number of established and ambitious Chartered Accounting firms across Perth, from successful boutique practices through to growing mid-tier businesses.

These firms are keen to attract commercially minded accounting professionals who enjoy building client relationships, developing people and contributing to the broader success of a business.

For those currently working within larger professional services firms, these opportunities may offer greater autonomy, more direct client ownership and the chance to work closely with Partners on both operational and strategic matters.

Equally, if you're already working within a smaller practice and looking for greater responsibility, a stronger advisory focus or a fresh challenge, we'd be interested in speaking with you.

The Role

We're interested in speaking with experienced Managers and ambitious Assistant Managers who are ready to take the next step in their careers.

Depending on the firm, responsibilities may include:

- Managing and developing a portfolio of SME, private business and high-net-worth clients.
- Overseeing the delivery of business services, taxation and accounting engagements.
- Providing commercially focused advice and supporting clients with broader business challenges.
- Leading, mentoring and developing a team of accountants.
- Building robust relationships with business owners, senior stakeholders and external advisers.
- Working closely with Partners on business advisory matters, client strategy and complex engagements.
- Identifying opportunities to strengthen existing client relationships and contribute to business development.
- Playing an active role in improving processes, developing people and supporting the growth of the practice.

The Candidate We're looking for confident, commercially astute professionals who combine strong technical expertise with excellent interpersonal skills and a genuine interest in helping businesses succeed.





Ideally, you'll bring:

- Significant experience within an Australian Chartered Accounting or public practice environment, ideally at Assistant Manager or Manager level.
- CA/CPA qualification.
- Strong business services, taxation and advisory experience.
- Excellent communication and relationship management skills, with the ability to engage confidently with business owners and senior stakeholders.
- Experience managing client portfolios and mentoring or developing junior staff.
- A commercial mindset and the ability to identify opportunities to add value beyond traditional compliance.
- An interest in business development, building client relationships and contributing to the success of a practice.
- Ambition, initiative and the confidence to take ownership of your work and responsibilities.

Importantly, we're looking for individuals who are proactive, personable and commercially aware. You'll enjoy working with clients, have the confidence to challenge ideas constructively and be motivated to continue developing as a well-rounded accounting and advisory professional.

Why Apply?

- Opportunities across established boutique and mid-tier Chartered Accounting firms.
- Greater autonomy, responsibility and direct access to Partners.
- The chance to manage teams and develop meaningful client relationships.
- A genuine mix of compliance, commercial advisory and business development.
- Exposure to the operational and strategic aspects of running a successful accounting practice.
- Opportunities to develop your leadership, commercial and stakeholder management capabilities.
- Potential progression into Senior Manager, Director or Partnership, depending on the firm.
- A variety of cultures, team structures and working environments.

Whether you're looking to step away from a larger firm into a more hands-on leadership role, gain greater autonomy over client relationships or further develop your commercial and advisory experience, we'd be keen to hear from you.
