Why This Role
This is an opportunity for an experienced public practice accountant to step into a broader supervising role within a long-established Sydney accounting and business advisory firm.
 
The role will suit someone who is ready to move beyond pure compliance delivery and take on more responsibility across client relationships, review work, workflow management, mentoring and advisory support.
 
You will work with growing SMEs and high-performing salaried clients in a firm that combines long-standing client relationships with a modern approach to technology, automation and AI. This is a strong fit for someone who wants leadership exposure without joining a rigid, highly corporate environment.
 
About Our Client
Our client is a Sydney-based accounting and business advisory firm with a history dating back to 1962.
The firm has built long-term client relationships through trust, care and high standards, while continuing to invest in contemporary technology, automation and AI to improve the way work is delivered.
 
This is the type of environment that will appeal to someone who values client service, practical advisory work, professional judgement and autonomy. The firm supports flexibility and development, without a micromanaged culture.
 
The Role

• Acting as a key point of contact for client queries and workflow updates
• Supervising, mentoring and supporting accountants within the team
• Delegating and reviewing work to ensure quality, accuracy and timely delivery
• Identifying opportunities to improve client service and internal processes
• Working closely with managers and senior team members on more complex matters
• Using technology, automation and AI-enabled systems to improve workflow, reduce rework and create more capacity for advisory work

This role is suited to someone who can balance technical review, client communication and team support, while continuing to develop into a stronger advisory and leadership-focused accountant.

• CA or CPA completed, or close to completion

What's On Offer

• $125,000 - $150,000 + superannuation
• Hybrid structure with 3 days in the office and 2 days from home
• Supervisory role with genuine client ownership
• Structured training across technical and soft skills
