Job description

Senior Accountant – Advisory Focus

 

  • Grow Your Career, Not Just Your Compliance Hours
  • Hybrid working options
  • Fast career progression for top performers
 

Let’s be honest — you didn’t become a Senior Accountant just to pump out tax returns forever.

If you’re looking for a role where you can own client relationships, do real advisory work, and mentor a team, while still having a life outside of EOFY… keep reading.

Aspire Group are one of Brisbane’s leading, suburban accounting firms and we’re going through a period of significant growth & change. We have a diverse client base and big plans ahead — and we’re looking for a Senior Accountant who wants to be part of that journey.

 

Why you’ll love this role

  • Interesting, varied clients across individuals, companies, trusts & SMSFs
  • Genuine advisory work — tax planning, structuring & value-add conversations
  • Leadership without politics — mentor juniors and shape how things are done
  • A firm that values quality, ethics and teamwork (not just billable hours)
  • Clear development pathways and support for CPA/CA (if not already qualified)
This is a role where your experience is trusted, your voice is heard, and your work actually matters.

 

What you’ll be doing

  • Preparing and reviewing financial statements, income tax returns, BAS & IAS
  • Managing a portfolio of clients and building long-term advisory relationships
  • Reviewing work from junior accountants and bookkeepers (and helping them grow)
  • Delivering tax planning, business structuring and proactive advice
  • Ensuring all work is compliant with ATO, ASIC and Australian Accounting Standards
  • Managing workflows, deadlines and job budgets with confidence
  • Identifying smarter, more efficient ways of working (we love improvement ideas)
 

What we’re looking for

  • Degree qualified in Accounting, Commerce or similar
  • CPA or CA qualified (or working towards)
  • Strong experience in Australian public practice
  • Confident preparing and reviewing financial statements and tax returns
  • Solid knowledge of Australian tax legislation and GST
  • Experience with Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks and cloud-based systems
  • A natural mentor who enjoys helping others develop
  • Strong communication skills — clients trust you and juniors learn from you
 

The culture

We’re serious about what we do — but not about ourselves.

You’ll be joining a team that:

  • Values integrity, collaboration and professionalism
  • Supports learning, development and career progression
  • Encourages ideas, innovation and smarter ways of working
  • Celebrates wins and backs each other during busy periods
This isn’t “just another accounting job”. It’s a place where you can build a long-term career, not just tick boxes.

 

Ready to take the next step?

If you’re a Senior Accountant who wants more ownership, more advisory exposure and a genuinely supportive environment, we’d love to hear from you.
