We are a well‑established, forward‑thinking public accounting practice in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane, working with a diverse range of business clients across multiple industries. Due to the departure of a long‑standing senior team member, we are seeking an experienced Senior Accountant to join our Business Services & Tax team. This is an in‑office role, with systems and processes in place to allow seamless working from home when required.
Why This Role Stands Out
- Senior Level Autonomy: You will manage your own client portfolio and run jobs end‑to‑end. This is not a junior or training role. You will be trusted to apply your experience, professional judgement and technical knowledge.
- Genuine Flexibility: We are open to part‑time or full‑time arrangements. For the right person, something like approximately 5 hours per day works well – without compromising the quality of work or level of responsibility.
- Quality Clients & Long‑Term Relationships: Our clients are commercially focused and value advice. We prioritise long‑term relationships over volume‑driven compliance work.
