About The Position

This is an opportunity for an Intermediate Accountant to join a high-profile boutique firm in the Melbourne CBD. The role will suit someone with around 3 years of Australian public practice experience who wants stronger technical development, greater client exposure, and a clear pathway to continue progressing. You will work with large, complex clients, including groups with turnover above $100m, while receiving direct access to Partners, regular leadership check-ins, and ongoing training. The firm offers a broader service model than a traditional accounting practice, giving you exposure to accounting, tax advice, wealth management, lending and private family management. Our client is a boutique accounting and advisory firm located in the heart of Melbourne's CBD. The firm works with prestigious private clients, complex business groups and high-net-worth families, providing services across accounting, tax, advisory, wealth, finance and broader private-client matters. The environment is collaborative, professional and growth-focused, with contemporary software, strong internal support and access to senior people who are invested in developing their team. This is a strong fit for an accountant who wants to move beyond standard compliance work and build a more rounded public practice career. As an Intermediate Accountant, you will support a portfolio of large and complex clients across tax, accounting and business services work.
