Manager Business Services

Job description

Your new company

This well-established Adelaide accounting firm has built an outstanding reputation and has experienced significant growth under its current leadership team over the past decade. With approximately 30 staff and a premium client base consisting largely of high-net-worth individuals, family groups and privately owned businesses, the firm continues to outperform the market, achieving consistent year-on-year growth.
Following continued expansion, the firm has recently secured new CBD offices and is investing heavily in its future. This is an excellent opportunity to join a progressive and highly respected practice where quality advice, strong client relationships and staff development remain central to its success.

Your new role

As a Business Services Manager, you will play a key leadership role within the firm's growing Business Services division. Managing a portfolio of quality clients, you will work closely with the Partners on complex compliance and advisory engagements while providing mentorship and guidance to a capable team of accountants.
Key responsibilities include:
  • Managing a diverse portfolio of business and high-net-worth clients
  • Reviewing financial statements, tax returns and related compliance work
  • Providing business, tax and strategic advisory services
  • Building and maintaining long-term client relationships
  • Managing workflow, deadlines and team performance
  • Coaching and developing intermediate and senior accountants
  • Working directly with the Partners on complex engagements and growth initiatives
  • Contributing to the ongoing development and success of the practice
What you'll need to succeed
To be successful, you will ideally possess:
  • CA or CPA qualification
  • 7+ years' experience within Australian public practice accounting
  • Previous experience managing client portfolios and staff
  • Strong technical taxation and business services knowledge
  • Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
  • A proactive and commercial approach to client service
  • A genuine interest in advisory work and mentoring junior staff
  • The drive and ambition to progress your career within a growing firm

What you'll get in return

This opportunity offers much more than a traditional Business Services Manager role, including:

  • Strong upward trajectory, delivering approximately 20% annual growth
  • Premium client portfolio with significant exposure to high-net-worth family groups
  • Hands-on advisory work alongside highly experienced Partners
  • Newly secured CBD offices supporting continued expansion
  • Direct access to Partners and a highly approachable leadership team
  • Supportive and flexible culture with excellent staff retention
  • Clearly defined progression pathway to Director level
  • Alternative opportunity to build a long-term Senior Manager career
  • Highly competitive salary package at the top end of the Adelaide market
If you're an experienced Business Services Manager seeking greater client exposure, meaningful advisory work and genuine career progression within a successful and growing Adelaide firm, this opportunity deserves your consideration.
