About the role:

Senior Accountant / Manager – Business Advisory

Location: Perth or Jurien Bay, WA (with regular travel to Jurien Bay)

New Year, New Horizons – Coastal Office Opening in 2026

Shape Your Career Without Sacrificing Lifestyle

Looking to step into a leadership role while enjoying the perfect balance between city convenience and coastal calm? With the relocation of our long-standing Jurien Bay office to a brand-new, beachside location in 2026, we’re expanding our search to include talented professionals based in Perth, particularly those in the northern suburbs.

This role offers the best of both worlds: work primarily from Perth while travelling to Jurien Bay a couple of days each week to collaborate with your team and clients. It’s an opportunity to experience a meaningful coastal connection, without needing to relocate.

The Opportunity

We’re seeking an experienced Senior Accountant or Manager to join our Business Advisory team. You’ll step into a pivotal leadership role, guiding and mentoring a team, delivering exceptional client service, and helping shape the future of our regional practice.

You’ll work closely with partners and a diverse client base, offering strategic business advisory support, preparing financial statements, overseeing tax compliance, and driving practice excellence.

Senior Manager candidates will also take on workflow planning, complex review work, and business development initiatives.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead, mentor, and develop a high-performing team in a supportive culture.
  • Prepare and review financial statements and tax returns across structures including companies, trusts, partnerships, and individuals.
  • Provide strategic business advisory and practical commercial solutions to clients.
  • Build trusted client relationships and identify growth opportunities.
  • Ensure compliance with accounting standards and tax legislation.
  • Senior Manager level: Oversee workflow planning, review complex matters, and contribute to firm-wide initiatives.

About you:

What We’re Looking For

Senior Accountant

  • CA/CPA qualified or near completion
  • Experience in business advisory and supervising/mentoring junior staff

Senior Manager

  • CA/CPA qualified
  • 8+ years’ experience in professional services
  • 4+ years team leadership experience

Plus:

  • Strong technical capability
  • Excellent communication skills
  • A proactive, collaborative mindset
  • Ability to work autonomously and lead with confidence

Why Choose Jurien Bay - Even If You’re Perth-Based?

Whether you prefer the vibrancy of Perth or the slower pace of the coast, this role lets you enjoy both. Expect:

  • Meaningful connections with a tight‑knit coastal community
  • A brand‑new office opening in 2026, modern, spacious, and just minutes from the beach
  • Travel that adds variety to your week, not disruption
  • A chance to influence and grow a regional practice while staying connected to city life

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary and benefits
  • Clear pathways for leadership and career progression within a global network
  • Flexible work arrangements and supportive team culture
  • The unique opportunity to combine professional challenge with lifestyle balance
