Boutique firm | Genuine progression to partnership | Flexible, tech-driven culture
This is a genuine hire for a future partner - this one partner firm wants to become a two partner firm in the next 3 years!
Our client, a
progressive boutique accounting firm
based in
Newcastle, is experiencing strong growth and looking for an ambitious and commercially minded professional to join their close-knit team. With a
team of 9 (soon to be 11), this is an exciting time to come on board as the firm expands into new service areas and strengthens its advisory offering.
This is a firm that punches well above its weight — with an

clear, structured pathway to partnership, this could be your next step.
About the Firm Our client is a
boutique Chartered Accounting firm
providing high-quality business advisory and accounting services to a variety of Australian businesses. They focus on clients who value proactive, hands‑on support — not just tax compliance.

app advisory and outsourced CFO work
— key growth areas. Their goal is to continue refining their client base to work exclusively with their ‘ideal’ clients — business owners who value collaboration, innovation and insight.

Depending on your level, this position can be tailored from
Manager up to Director, with a
structured career plan
and defined
KPIs
to progress through to partnership.
