The Opportunity
We're partnering with a private family office with a diverse portfolio of active trading businesses and investments across property, retail, technology and other sectors.

* Provide tax advice across a portfolio of trading and investment entities, including structuring, distributions and inter-entity arrangements
* Lead tax planning, compliance and year-end processes in conjunction with external advisors
* Manage Division 7A compliance, inter-entity loans and shareholder transactions
* Assess tax implications of new investments, acquisitions and business initiatives
* Act as the primary internal point of contact for tax matters, liaising with advisors and the ATO
* Oversee financial reporting and compliance obligations across the group
* Maintain oversight of entity structures, governance and statutory requirements
* Provide financial and tax insights to support commercial and investment decision-making
* Identify opportunities to improve tax efficiency, processes and controls
* Review and coordinate work completed by external bookkeepers or junior accounting support
About You
* CA or CPA qualified
* Strong knowledge of Australian tax, including Division 7A and private group structures
* Experience working with or advising complex private groups, family offices or closely held businesses
* Commercial mindset with the ability to translate technical tax matters into practical advice
* Comfortable operating in a hands-on, confidential and entrepreneurial environment
