Senior Accountant - Own Your Clients & Step Into Advisory

If you’re a confident Senior Accountant who enjoys building strong client relationships, delivering proactive advice, and mentoring others - this could be the opportunity you’ve been looking for.

I’m currently partnering exclusively with a well-established firm in Hawthorn that’s looking to bring on a client-focused professional to step into a true advisory-driven role.

The Firm
This highly regarded practice has built a strong reputation for its client-centric approach and supportive team culture. With a focus on collaboration, development, and long-term relationships, they offer an environment where you’re trusted, empowered, and encouraged to make an impact.

The Role
This position sits within Business Services and is ideal for someone with 5+ years’ experience in public practice who enjoys taking ownership and leading from the front. You’ll be the key point of contact for your clients, combining technical expertise with commercial insight and a genuine advisory mindset.

You’ll be responsible for:

• Managing your own client portfolio with full ownership
• Building and maintaining strong client relationships
• Delivering compliance work across financial statements and tax
• Providing advisory services including forecasting and cash flow support
• Leading client conversations with confidence and empathy
• Mentoring and reviewing junior team members

This is more than a compliance role - it’s about becoming a trusted advisor and playing a key role in your clients’ success.

What’s on offer

• High level of autonomy and ownership
• Strong focus on client relationships and advisory work
• Supportive leadership and team-focused culture
• Ongoing development and career progression opportunities
• Unique incentives, including overseas trips for top performers
• Flexible salary depending on experience

This opportunity is well-suited to a CA/CPA qualified (or near-complete) accountant who is looking to step into a more relationship-driven, advisory-focused position within a progressive and supportive firm.
