This is a newly created role to support our growing client base. You’ll work directly with the Managing Partner and get exposure well beyond a traditional accounting firm role. 

This role is ideal for a newly qualified CA or CPA coming out of an Australian business services or tax environment who wants something more flexible, commercial, and interesting.

It’s particularly well suited to someone returning to the workforce (e.g. a parent) who still wants to do high-quality work — without the rigid structure of a traditional firm.
