Senior Accountant Are you a Senior Accountant who enjoys month-end reporting but doesn’t want to let go of tax advisory entirely? This role offers the best of both worlds.

We're working with a high-performing national firm that's known for delivering exceptional service to private clients. They're currently seeking a commercially savvy Senior Accountant to join their Private Business team in a unique hybrid position - where you’ll act as an outsourced management accountant for select clients while still contributing to the delivery of advisory and tax compliance work.

This is ideal for someone who thrives on variety, wants to deepen client relationships, and values a culture that actually supports career growth and flexibility.

What You’ll Be Doing:

You’ll be embedded in the client experience, taking full ownership of several key accounts while also supporting broader advisory engagements across the division. Your responsibilities will include:

- Leading the month-end close process—prepayments, accruals, depreciation, inter-entity invoicing, reconciliations
- Preparing and reviewing BAS, payroll tax, and PAYG returns
- Processing and overseeing payroll for larger clients, including terminations and compliance
- Acting as the go-to finance contact for clients, building strong long-term relationships
- Mentoring junior team members and reviewing their work
- Using cloud-based systems (Xero, NetSuite, QuickBooks) to streamline reporting

About You:
You’re already operating at a Senior level or ready to step up, with a proactive mindset and a natural ability to build rapport with clients.

- 4+ years' experience in public practice or a mix of practice and industry
- CA/CPA qualified (or nearly there)
- Strong understanding of monthly reporting processes
- Confident preparing and reviewing tax and compliance work
- Comfortable managing clients directly and juggling competing priorities
- Exposure to multiple accounting platforms
- A team player who enjoys mentoring others and contributing to team
success

Perks & Culture:

This is a firm that backs its people - not just with benefits, but with genuine care for their growth and wellbeing.

- 100% remote work option available - work where you need to be 
- Income protection insurance
- Paid parental leave & flexible return-to-work options
- Catered lunches every second week
- Mental health support through EAP
- Regular team events, active social club & sports teams
