Business Services Accountant with a twist – Business Advisory | AFR Top 10 Firm | Brisbane CBD

People2people have partnered with a highly regarded AFR Top 10 accounting firm located in the heart of Brisbane CBD. Known for its modern office space, progressive culture, and genuine investment in employee well-being, this is a firm that empowers its people to grow professionally while maintaining a balance.

Due to continued growth, their Business Advisory division is seeking a strong Intermediate/ Senior Accountant to join the team. In this role, you’ll work closely with a portfolio of key clients — acting as their internal management accountant — while also supporting the broader team on tax advisory engagements. It’s a unique opportunity to blend hands-on commercial accounting with technical advisory exposure within a reputable firm.

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Diverse Work Scope – A balanced mix of compliance, tax advisory, and providing financial insights through reporting, forecasting, and analysis to drive informed business decisions and improve operational performance.
• Direct Partner Access – Report directly to both the Business Advisory and Tax Partners, with no middle management layers slowing down your professional development.
• Client-Facing – Unlike many roles at this level, you will be actively engaging with clients and working on strategic solutions.
• Fast-Tracked Growth – Exposure to high-level financial modelling and advisory work will accelerate your learning and career progression.

What you’ll bring:

• A degree in Accounting, Commerce or Business
• CA/CPA qualified or currently undertaking
• 3–5 years’ experience within a public practice or professional services environment
• Strong month-end reporting and analytical skills
• Ability to build strong client relationships and tailor financial support to their needs
• Proficiency with accounting platforms such as Xero, QuickBooks, or NetSuite
• A proactive, collaborative attitude and the confidence to work both independently and within a team
• Excellent attention to detail, time management, and communication skills

Why apply?
If you enjoy the rhythm of compliance and advisory work but want to build deeper commercial skills as a management accountant, this role offers the best of both worlds. It's ideal for those with a love for numbers and client service who are looking to broaden their skill set beyond compliance and into more strategic, analytical territory.

What else you need to know:
Applicants must have unrestricted working rights in Australia. Prior experience working within an Australian accounting firm or public practice is highly desirable.
