Head of Tax – Succession Opportunity | Mid-Tier Firm | Sydney CBD

Are you an experienced tax senior manager or AD ready to take the next step into leadership? This is a rare succession opportunity with a respected mid-tier accounting firm in Sydney's CBD – a chance to lead and grow a thriving private client tax practice with genuine scope for progression.

The Opportunity

You'll step into a leadership role guiding a well-established tax team and client base, taking over from the current head of tax who is moving into a broader leadership position. The role offers variety, autonomy, and impact – with work that includes:

  • Advising on employee share schemes
  • Trust and corporate restructuring
  • Tax aspects of business acquisitions and sales

This is not a large-corporate tax role. You'll work closely with business owners and leadership teams, providing strategic tax advice to a diverse SME client base. It's also a highly collaborative role within the firm, so relationship-building skills and the ability to liaise internally are key.

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Clear pathway to leadership
    – this is a true succession role, not just another senior manager position
  • Supportive environment
    – you'll be mentored by an experienced leader and given space to grow
  • Genuine flexibility
    – hybrid working is part of the culture once you're established
  • Growth potential
    – the practice is well positioned for further expansion, with strong internal referral opportunities

Who It's For

This role will suit an ambitious
Senior Manager or rising Associate Director
with strong SME / private client tax experience who's ready to step into leadership and shape the direction of a growing practice. If you enjoy strategic advisory work and building trusted relationships with business owners and internal clients, this is a unique opportunity to accelerate your career.
