Senior Accountant / Business Advisor | $140K-$150K + Super
You've built strong technical expertise in public practice, but you know you have more to offer than preparing accounts and meeting compliance deadlines.
You want to sit in front of business owners, understand what is really happening in their businesses and help them make better commercial decisions.
This is your opportunity to do exactly that.
We are recruiting for a highly regarded, multi-award-winning accounting and advisory firm establishing its next stage of growth in North Brisbane. The firm helps SME owners improve profitability, cash flow, systems and business performance, giving them greater control over both their businesses and their lives.
This is not a role where "advisory" simply means presenting a set of accounts once a year. You'll work closely and consistently with business owners, translating their numbers into practical actions and measurable outcomes.
Why Consider This Opportunity?
Based in the firm's Brendale office, you'll manage and develop relationships with established SME clients, including a number of trade-based businesses.
You'll retain responsibility for important accounting and tax work, but your greatest value will come from helping clients understand what their financial information means and what they need to do next.
Your responsibilities will include:
You don't need to arrive as a fully developed business coach or have all the advisory answers on day one.
The firm has an established advisory framework and will train and mentor you in its approach.
What you do need is strong public-practice experience, sound commercial judgement and the confidence to engage with business owners. You'll be naturally curious, willing to ask good questions and motivated by seeing clients act on your advice.
What You'll Bring
To be considered, you will ideally have:
More Than Another Senior Accounting Role
The firm has achieved significant national recognition for its accounting expertise, advisory work, leadership and contribution to the community. Its continued expansion reflects the strength of its model and the long-term demand for its services.
The Brendale office is a genuine long-term investment. You'll join an established team with existing colleagues, clients, systems and leadership support already in place, while still having the opportunity to influence how the North Brisbane operation develops.
For someone with the right capability and ambition, the longer-term opportunity may include participation in the employee share scheme and a pathway towards ownership.
Important Practical Details
This is primarily an office-based position located in Brendale, North Brisbane.
The role includes client meetings, occasional site visits and some travel. If you want to extend your offering to other locations e.g. the Sunshine Coast or Cairns there is an option for this too.
Ready to Become a Trusted Business Advisor?
If you're an experienced accountant who wants greater client influence, more commercially meaningful work and a genuine long-term future within a growing advisory firm, we would welcome a confidential conversation.
