Senior Accountant in Melbourne's Outer West

If you’re a confident Senior Accountant who enjoys working independently, building strong client relationships, and taking ownership of your portfolio — this could be the opportunity you’ve been looking for.

My client is seeking a capable Senior Accountant to step into a pivotal role within a Partner-led boutique firm based in Melbourne’s Outer West.
  
The Firm
A well-established boutique practice led directly by the Partners, this firm services a broad SME client base and prides itself on delivering personalised, hands-on advice. With no other onshore accountants currently in the office, this is a key hire who will play an integral role in the firm’s day-to-day operations and continued growth.
  
The Role
This is a broad, autonomous position suited to someone comfortable managing their own workflow and engaging directly with clients. You’ll take ownership of a diverse SME portfolio while overseeing and delegating work to an offshore support team.

You’ll be responsible for:

• Managing a portfolio of SME clients end-to-end
• Providing face-to-face advisory support and building strong client relationships
• Reviewing and delegating work to an offshore team
• Managing workflow and ensuring deadlines are met, particularly during peak periods
• Working closely with the Partner on client matters and firm operations

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, enjoys direct client interaction, and values structure without the layers of a larger firm.
  
What’s on offer

• Autonomy in a key accounting role within a Partner-led firm
• Direct oversight and management of an offshore team
• Regular face-to-face client engagement and advisory exposure
• Ongoing training and professional development
• Every staff member has their own office, with a shared lunch area with a coffee machine and weekly team meetings
• Salary negotiable based on experience

If you’re looking to carve out your space in a firm where your contribution is visible and valued, this opportunity offers both responsibility and growth.
