Senior Accountant| Hybrid Role
- 30/06/2026
- Melbourne CBD & Inner Suburbs
- Permanent / Full Time
If you're an experienced public practice accountant looking for more client interaction, greater responsibility, and a genuine pathway into client management, this is an opportunity worth exploring.
We're partnering with a highly respected and rapidly growing financial services firm in South Melbourne that is known for its collaborative culture, modern approach to accounting, and strong focus on helping clients achieve meaningful business outcomes.
With over 50 team members across Victoria and continued growth driving new opportunities, they are seeking an ambitious Senior Accountant who is ready to become a trusted adviser to clients while developing their leadership capabilities.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
This is far more than a traditional compliance role.
You'll be given the opportunity to manage your own portfolio of business clients, build long-term relationships, provide strategic advice, and work closely with experienced leaders who are committed to your professional growth.
You'll be joining a business that genuinely invests in its people, embraces technology, and provides clear career progression for those looking to take the next step in their public practice career.
The Role
Working closely with a Partner and Senior Client Account Manager, you will manage a diverse portfolio of clients across a broad range of industries and structures.
You will be responsible for preparing and reviewing financial statements and tax returns, managing workflow, mentoring junior team members, and identifying opportunities to provide additional business advisory services to your clients.
This position offers significant client interaction and is ideal for someone who enjoys building relationships, solving business challenges, and adding value beyond compliance.
What You'll Bring
You will be CA or CPA qualified (or nearing completion) and have a strong foundation in public practice accounting.
To be successful, you will have:
This firm understands that attracting great people requires more than just a salary package.
You can expect:
The team prides itself on creating an environment where people are supported, challenged, and encouraged to grow. You'll be surrounded by professionals who genuinely enjoy what they do and are passionate about delivering exceptional outcomes for their clients.
If you're looking for a role where your ideas will be valued, your career progression supported, and your client relationships encouraged to flourish, we'd love to hear from you.

Alternatively, you can contact Alana Collins on (03) 9077 7491 / alana.collins@engagepersonnel.com.au for a confidential chat.
Not quite what you’re looking for? Please touch base, as we have many more opportunities that are not advertised.
All communication will be strictly confidential
