Why This Role
This is an opportunity for an experienced Manager to join a progressive boutique accounting and advisory firm in Parkville.
 
The role has been created due to continued expansion and offers a strong mix of portfolio ownership, client management, technical review, team leadership and advisory involvement.
 
You will work closely with the Partners, manage your portfolio with a high level of autonomy and support a team delivering work for large, complex clients in Australia and overseas.
 
This role will suit someone who wants a senior client-facing position in a contemporary firm with strong systems, a collaborative culture, and direct access to decision-makers.
 
About Our Client
Our client is a boutique accounting and advisory firm based in Parkville, with a broader service offering across business advisory, tax, wealth, lending and personal financial advice.
 
The firm works with complex local and international client groups, including businesses, high-net-worth individuals, and private client structures. Their approach is holistic, with a focus on helping clients make better business and personal financial decisions.
 
The firm has contemporary software, strong internal processes, modern facilities and access to both local and offshore support. The culture is built around collaboration, teamwork and shared success.
 
The Role
As Manager, you will play a strategic role in delivering high-quality client service while supporting the team's growth and development.

• Working closely with Partners on workflow, client matters and strategic priorities
• Maintaining strong technical standards across corporate, trust, partnership and high net worth client work
• Contributing to operational improvement, client satisfaction and continuous improvement
