Senior Manager - Chartered Accounting Firm
I'm working on a genuinely high-quality opportunity with a well-established Gold Coast accounting firm that's about to go through a major growth phase.
They're looking for a true number two - not just a senior accountant, but someone who can step in beside the Principal, take ownership of clients, support the team, and help drive the business forward.
The Long-Term Play
This is set up for someone who wants more than a salary.
There is a genuine pathway to equity here, not lip service. The right person will be brought into the long-term future of the firm and have the opportunity to build something alongside the Principal.
If you've ever thought about owning part of a practice without the risk of starting from scratch, this is exactly that kind of opportunity.
What You'll Be Doing
You'll sit across three core areas:
1. Clients
Own and manage a portfolio of SME clients.
Provide real commercial and tax advice (not compliance).
Be the go-to person your clients rely on.
2. Team & Operations
Review work and mentor junior staff.
Help manage workflow, deadlines and WIP.
Lift overall standards across the team.
Get involved in improving how the firm runs.
3. Growth
Support new client conversations and onboarding.
Assist with proposals and pricing.
Build relationships with clients and referrers.
Contribute to the direction the firm is heading.
What They're Looking For
CA/CPA qualified ideally.
~5+ years in public practice.
Strong technical grounding across tax + advisory.
Comfortable running your own client base.
Commercial mindset - you understand how businesses operate.
Someone who actually wants to step up, not just cruise.
Why This Role Stands Out
There's a lot of "Manager" roles out there - this isn't one of them.
You'll have real autonomy.
You'll work directly with the decision-maker.
You'll be involved in how the business grows.
You won't be stuck waiting 5–10 years for progression.
