Southside Brisbane | Full-time | Boutique Public Practice Firm

Are you a seasoned accountant seeking more autonomy, influence, and purpose in your next role? We’re a progressive boutique accounting firm based on Brisbane’s southside, proud to serve a diverse portfolio of SMEs, entrepreneurs, and family-owned businesses.

As we continue to grow, we’re looking for a Business Services Accountant to be more than just a compliance technician. This is your opportunity to shape strategy, mentor emerging talent, and provide insightful advice that genuinely supports our clients' success.

Your Role in a Nutshell

This is a hands-on, client-facing role with room to take ownership and make a difference. You’ll:

Oversee a portfolio of small to medium businesses across tax compliance and advisory
Provide well-rounded tax advice on structures such as companies, trusts, partnerships, SMSFs, and individuals
Review work of junior and intermediate accountants with a strong coaching mindset
Work independently and collaboratively to deliver complete outcomes—from planning to lodgement
Lead client engagements with confidence and clarity, building trust through consistent value
Assist with SMSF compliance and reporting via BGL360
Proactively identify process improvements and client opportunities
What You Bring to the Table

5+ years public practice experience with strong local tax and compliance expertise
Technical strength in tax, CGT, FBT, Division 7A, and SME advisory services
Experience with Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks, BGL360, and Microsoft Office 365
Ability to manage workflow and priorities without constant supervision
High emotional intelligence and great people skills—both with clients and colleagues
Strong written and verbal communication, with a knack for breaking down complex ideas
Passion for supporting team growth and contributing to firm-wide goals
What’s in It for You

We’re not a corporate machine—we’re a close-knit firm where your voice is heard, your work matters, and your career can evolve in meaningful ways.

Autonomy: You’ll have space to manage your work and grow your relationships
Development: CPD support, regular tax training, and future leadership opportunities
Variety: A broad client base across industries means every day brings fresh challenges
Flexibility: Potential for hybrid working arrangements tailored to your needs
Community: A collaborative culture with shared wins, real mentorship, and mutual respect
Lifestyle-friendly location: Conveniently located on the southside with free parking
If you’re ready to take the next step in your career with a firm that values professionalism, people, and purpose—we’d love to hear from you.
