About the Role

We’re seeking a senior, client-facing Tax & Business Services Accountant to join a growing Australian accounting practice and take ownership of a portfolio of SME clients.

You will work across a diverse portfolio including companies, trusts, partnerships, and individuals, handling everything from financial statements and tax returns to BAS, payroll, and ongoing client queries.

Collaborate with senior accountants on complex client matters and advisory projects

Maintain strong client relationships and respond to tax and accounting queries

Proficiency in Xero (required) and Xero Tax or similar tax software

Experience with Karbon or similar practice management tools

Strong reconciliation and financial reporting skills

Ability to manage multiple clients, deadlines, and priorities independently

Strong attention to detail and ability to identify discrepancies

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
