Why make the move?

- Do your best work – High-quality clients, strong systems, and a team that backs you
The opportunity
If you’re feeling ready for more ownership, more client exposure, and more meaningful work then this is your next step.
We’re a well-established and growing mid-tier firm with a strong reputation in the Adelaide market. Our continued growth means we’re looking for a Senior Accountant who wants to step up - not just do more of the same.
This role offers genuine variety, working with a portfolio of established and growing clients across industries including agribusiness, manufacturing, transport and professional services. You’ll gain exposure to complex structures, commercial decision-making, and strategic advisory – not just year-end compliance.
What you’ll be doing
- Manage a portfolio of clients and become their trusted advisor
- Prepare and review financial statements and tax returns across complex structures
- Work directly with clients on tax planning, structuring, and business strategy
- Support business transactions, succession planning and growth initiatives
- Mentor and review junior team members, building your leadership capability
- Navigate complex tax matters and engage with the ATO and key stakeholders
What sets you apart
- CA/CPA qualified (or close to completion)
- 3+ years’ experience in public practice
- Strong Australian tax knowledge, with the ability to apply it commercially
- Confident working directly with clients and building relationships
- Someone who wants more than just compliance – you’re ready to step into advisory
- Motivated, accountable and looking for your next career move (not just another job)
What you’ll get in return
- Clear progression to Manager with structured support and mentoring
- Real client exposure – not filtered through layers
- High-quality, recognisable clients you’ll be proud to work with
- A strong team culture that values performance and collaboration
- Ongoing professional development tailored to your career goals
- Access to a broad range of employee benefits and social initiatives
- Modern CBD office and a firm that’s genuinely forward-thinking
