The firm has the technical depth of a larger practice but runs with a leaner, more personal structure, so seniors are in the room for client conversations and have real input into how matters are handled. The Partners are down to earth, accessible and happy to back people who show initiative. A pipeline of new client work has created this role for an accountant who is ready to carry more responsibility and be recognised for it.

- Review work from Intermediates and Graduates and give clear, constructive feedback.
- Manage your own lodgement calendar and keep deliverables on schedule.
