About Delve Innovation:

We are one of Australia’s premier business advisory firms, specialising in R&D Tax, Transfer Pricing, and Intellectual Property advisory. Our mission is to support industry-leading clients in driving economic growth and Australian innovation through cutting-edge, robust R&D initiatives.

You will work directly—if not exclusively—with not one, but two of Australia’s most experienced, recognised and longest-serving R&D tax advisory experts. What better way to accelerate your development than by learning from the best? This is a unique opportunity to gain deep, hands-on experience into R&D tax, being mentored by leaders who have shaped the industry.

We are offering a rare opportunity to join our dynamic Brisbane CBD team in a role that is designed for ambitious professionals ready to thrive in a high-impact advisory environment. Your role, first and foremost, will focus on the challenging advisory aspects of R&D tax (which means less mundane and menial compliance work), thanks to a dedicated team of project analysts. You will step confidently into this team where your growth is guaranteed and elevate your expertise as you dive deep into the strategic world of R&D tax advisory. Earn a Big 4-level salary in a supportive, boutique environment where your expertise is valued, not your overtime. Enjoy a sustainable pace and significantly lower stress levels.

At Delve, we believe in driven performance and a balanced lifestyle. Our culture is built around delivering high-quality outcomes for our clients—especially when statutory or urgent deadlines arise, but we also recognise the importance of downtime and personal wellbeing. We work hard when it matters, and we celebrate success with the same energy, but we also ensure we make time for the other important aspects of life and living. Flexibility, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to excellence define how we work together.

This role offers hands-on exposure to a diverse range of industries, projects, and technical work, all while being supported by experienced partners and a strong development framework. If you are ambitious, driven, and love the idea of a firm that values innovation, expertise, and professional growth, we want to hear from you.

Develop consulting and technical skills by becoming a valued advisor to innovative companies with R&D Tax Incentive applications, as well as Transfer Pricing and other government funding opportunities.

Develop leadership skills by working directly with Delve partners and by delegating compliance tasks to our project analysts. You will act as key point of contact, providing guidance, assistance and support.

Mentored in all aspect of operating a professional services firm including practice operations and administration, internal strategy and business development, and corporate governance.

Operate in a dynamic and fast-paced environment, learning how to be responsive, agile, adaptive and resourceful.

What You'll Need to Succeed:

Strong organisational skills: Whether it is project management, working towards a deadline, or just being really organised, our clients provide us with lots of information and data which we need to critically evaluate in time to meet both statutory and client deadlines.

Willingness to travel: Have the availability to travel interstate with a Partner for client site visits with key stakeholders of varying levels, backgrounds and industries.

The Confidence to admit when you do not know something, viewing it as an opportunity for learning rather than a weakness, and will not hesitate to ask questions to achieve exceptional client outcomes.
