Key responsibilities include:

- Leading multiple complex audit engagements across all phases
- Developing strategic client relationships and contributing to business growth
- Mentoring and developing audit talent at all levels
- Reviewing and signing off audit reports with precision and confidence
- Building subject matter expertise in the aged care and NFP sectors

What’s In It For You?

- Work with a high-calibre leadership team in a respected and stable firm
- Enjoy a flexible, supportive workplace culture that values your growth
- Make a meaningful impact on purpose-led organisations
- Competitive remuneration package with clear progression opportunities
