Manager | Business Services & Advisory
Salary: $150,000–$180,000 + superannuation
Location: Parramatta, Sydney

Why This Role
This Business Services Manager role brings together strong technical work, meaningful client relationships, and people leadership.

Join an established Parramatta firm advising private businesses, high-net-worth individuals and Australian subsidiaries of foreign companies. The opportunity suits an experienced Manager or a technically capable Assistant Manager ready to take on broader responsibility.

Client allocation considers your strengths, working style and relationship fit. An open scheduling model brings together accountants across the practice according to each engagement’s requirements and staff availability, offering exposure beyond a fixed team.

Direct access to Directors, ongoing technical development and the potential for longer-term progression into directorship provide room to keep building your career.

Responsibilities include:

• Managing client relationships and developing a detailed understanding of their businesses and industries

• Monitoring job budgets, work in progress and delivery standards
• Keeping Directors informed of progress, technical issues and changes in engagement scope
• Identifying opportunities to improve client processes, business performance and the firm’s services
• Contributing to practice development, knowledge sharing and process improvement

The client base spans privately owned businesses and their owners, high-net-worth individuals and foreign-owned Australian subsidiaries. The wider portfolio includes clients with turnover exceeding $500 million.

Services span business advisory, taxation, financial reporting, audit and assurance, international taxation, forensic accounting, and wealth structuring. A shared staffing model encourages collaboration and broad technical development across the practice.
