Local partnership opportunity with prominent accounting firm
* Prominent firm with entrepreneurial culture
* Flexibility and Work Life Balance
* Based in Coffs Harbour area
We have been retained to find and appoint an Accounting & Tax Partner to join a prominent accounting and advisory firm, servicing clients in the Coffs Harbour area. Local candidates would be ideal, but there is reasonable flexibility around where the candidate resides within the local region.
This is an exceptional opportunity and different from most, due to the unique and flexible way that the firm operates and the fact that an existing client portfolio will be inherited by the successful candidate upon joining the firm. In this key leadership role, you will identify and seize new business opportunities, serve clients and mentor teams to deliver exceptional client service.
We are seeking a client-focused, dynamic accounting & tax leader, with a strong growth mindset who is passionate about innovation, client relationship cultivation and fostering a culture of continuous improvement.
To be considered for this position you should have the following profile:
* 8+ years' experience in delivering quality Accounting & Tax services.
* A good network and an ability to build and manage a strong practice.
* Business development aptitude, with the potential to source and convert new business.
* Strong leadership skills and the ability to develop and lead more junior people.
* Ability to collaborate with a range of internal and external stakeholders.
* Driven and pro-active, with an 'entrepreneurial mindset'.
If this sounds like you then we'd very much like to hear from you. To apply for this position, please submit a resume. Alternatively, please contact Joanne Davies at Derwent at to arrange a confidential discussion about the role, quoting reference number #33635. Applications close 10th December 2025.
