This is an excellent opportunity to take on a varied senior accountant role within a respected boutique practice known for its technical strength, supportive and flexible culture. The firm works with a diverse client base ranging from SMEs and property developers to trusts, sole traders, and larger multi‑entity groups (including clients with turnover up to $40million).
If you’re looking for a role closer to home where you can work independently, build strong client relationships, and play a key role in a growing firm, this is a fantastic opportunity.
About the role
You’ll manage your own portfolio, work directly with clients, and produce high‑quality compliance work across a wide range of industries. The role suits someone who is confident, organised, and able to operate without close supervision.
You’ll work alongside experienced senior accountants and a hands‑on Director who provides review and support. Over time, you’ll have opportunities to contribute to the firm’s expanding advisory services as they continue to evolve beyond compliance.
Key responsibilities include:
- Managing a portfolio of clients and being their primary point of contact
- Preparing financial statements, tax returns, GST, and management reporting
- Reviewing work (depending on experience)
- Supporting advisory projects as the service line grows
- Working confidently in Xero and Office 365
- Contributing to a collaborative, senior‑level team environment
About you
You may be a Senior Accountant or a strong Intermediate ready for the next step. What matters most is capability, independence, and a proactive mindset.
- 3–5+ years’ BAS experience in a CA environment
- Strong Xero skills; tech‑savvy and comfortable with Office 365
- Able to work independently with minimal hand‑holding
- Confident communicator with strong client‑facing ability
- CA/CPA qualification helpful but not essential
- Interest in future progression or advisory work is a bonus
Culture & flexibility
This firm offers a relaxed, supportive environment with flexibility. Individual arrangements, depending on your personal circumstances - such as part‑time options, adjusted/flexible hours, and 1-day WFH (after a settling period) are all possible. The team is local, friendly, and values balance.
The Red Beach location is ideal for those living on the Hibiscus Coast or North Shore, with an easy commute against the traffic. This role offers a few options to make your life easier while still enjoying professionally stimulating work and unlimited potential for career progression.
