We are seeking a Senior Accountant / Advisory Accountant to step into a Client Strategic Associate (CSA) role — a client-facing, commercially accountable position focused on business advisory, tax advisory, and client strategy, not production work.
If you're experienced in public practice accounting, strong in client advisory, and want to work part-time without losing seniority or impact, this role is built for you.
About the Firm
We are a modern professional services accounting and advisory firm working with established business owners and investors.
Our work centres on:
* Business advisory & financial insights
* Tax advisory & structuring
* Cash flow and profit improvement
* Wealth creation and long‐term strategy
We operate a value-based advisory model, moving clients beyond traditional compliance into structured, outcome-driven advisory packages.
The Role: Client Strategic Associate (CSA)
As a Client Strategic Associate, you are the link between:
financial data → strategic decisions → real implementation
You will work directly with clients to:
* Deliver client advisory and business advisory conversations
* Identify opportunities across tax advisory, cash flow advisory, structure, and wealth
* Transition clients onto advisory packages
* Drive progress, accountability, and measurable outcomes
* Coordinate with internal accounting, tax, and advisory teams
This is a senior advisory role, not a processing or compliance position.
What You'll Be Accountable For
* Quality and clarity of client advisory conversations
* Identifying and prioritising commercial advisory opportunities
* Advisory package uptake and client progression
* Business performance improvement for assigned clients
* Long‐term client relationship value
You are measured on impact and outcomes, not chargeable hours.
Skills & Experience
This role suits a Senior Accountant / Advisory Accountant with:
* 8+ years' experience in public practice accounting
* Strong grounding in accounting, tax advisory, and management accounting
* Must hold full CA or CPA qualification (essential)
* Proven experience in client advisory and client relationship management
* Confidence working directly with business owners
* Commercial mindset — able to identify leverage points, not just report issues
* Experience in business services, advisory accounting, financial analysis, and cash flow advisory is highly regarded.
Why This Role Stands Out
* $150,000 FTE equivalent + performance bonus
* Hybrid and flexible working arrangements
* Senior-level autonomy and trust
* Direct exposure to business advisory and strategic decision‐making
* No grinding compliance workload
* Work‐life balance without stepping back professionally
* This is ideal for a senior professional who wants flexibility, influence, and meaningful client work.
Who This Role Is Perfect For
* Senior Accountants moving fully into client advisory
* Advisory-focused Client Managers or Senior Managers
* Experienced professionals returning part‐time
* Accountants frustrated by compliance‐heavy roles
* Advisors who want to drive strategy, not just report on it
