This is a boutique, growing accounting firm based in Parramatta, offering a high-quality mix of compliance and advisory services to a well-established client base. With a close-knit team and supportive leadership group, the firm has built a strong reputation for delivering tailored advice across professional services and SME clients. The environment is collaborative, modern, and focused on developing staff into well-rounded advisors rather than purely compliance-focused accountants.
You’ll be joining as a Senior Accountant, with strong training and support from day 1. You will also work closely under a Great Manager and gain exposure to direct work with the Partners on more complex advisory matters. The role offers a strong balance of client relationship management, technical delivery, and advisory exposure, with support from junior and offshore team members, rather than just 100% compliance.
This position is designed as a genuine progression opportunity, with a clear pathway to Assistant Manager within 6–18 months based on performance. The structure of the firm allows senior staff to focus less on basic compliance and more on higher-value advisory, planning, and client-facing work.
Benefits on offer:
- Flexible hybrid working arrangements, including up to 2 days WFH
- Genuine work-life balance with minimal overtime expectations
- High levels of autonomy with no micromanagement and trust-based leadership
- Clear progression pathway to Assistant Manager within 6–18 months
- Exposure to advisory, planning, and review work rather than pure compliance
- Cloud-based Xero practice with modern systems and processes
- Strong client base across professional services and SME sectors
- Structured career progression with direct access to Partners
- CA/CPA support including study leave and fee reimbursement
- Collaborative and down-to-earth team culture
About you:
- Degree-qualified in Accounting, ideally CA/CPA qualified or near completion
- 4–7+ years’ experience in Business Services / Tax within Public Practice
- Strong client management skills with keen interest to run a portfolio independently in the long term
- Keen to step into a leadership role and mentor junior staff
- Technically strong with a proactive, advisory mindset
- Confident working in a cloud-based environment (Xero experience preferred)
This role is well suited to a Senior Accountant looking to step into a future leadership position, with a clear pathway to Assistant Manager while maintaining strong work-life balance and client exposure.
