Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Bulletpoint Full time $90,000 - $120,000 per year

Work with the best; without the fluff.

About Bulletpoint

Australia's top-rated R&D tax consultancy with star Google reviews. Melbourne-based, national clients. We specialise in audit-ready R&D claims that stand up to AusIndustry and the ATO.

The Role

Own claims end-to-end and deliver clean, defensible work.

  • Scope core vs supporting - Turn messy projects into clear, compliant activities.
  • Draft like a lawyer - Tight write-ups aligned to R&DTI legislation and guidance.
  • Build the numbers - Budgets, eligible cost methodologies, apportionments, associate payments.
  • Substantiate properly - Evidence plans, contemporaneous records, audit-ready files.
  • Manage clients - Set expectations, keep momentum, hit deadlines.

Delivery expectations - 2–4 claims/month; 10-15 business-day turnaround from brief to final draft.

Industries - ~70% software, ~20% manufacturing; balance across tech-adjacent sectors.

Tools - Dropbox, Excel, Gmail; tidy file hygiene (naming, versioning, checklists).

You
  • R&DTI experience (2+ years) — You've scoped and drafted real claims end-to-end.
  • Clear communicator — You reduce complex tech to one tight paragraph.
  • Responsive - You are responsive and work a head of the client
  • Commercial — You see risks, wins and trade-offs, not just words on a page.
  • Independent — You plan, deliver and chase evidence without hand-holding.
  • Detail-minded — Typos, gaps and loose ends don't make it past you.

Nice to have — Exposure to AusIndustry/ATO reviews; multi-entity groups; software + manufacturing mix.

How We Work
  • Support — Proven templates, examples and direct feedback from the MD.
  • Pace — Low meetings, high signal. Quick decisions, quick payment.
  • Outcomes — We value clear thinking, plain English and files that hold up when tested.
Apply (simple is best)

Email with:

  • CV or LinkedIn — link is fine.
  • One short sample (≤200 words) – describe a core R&D activity covering: uncertainty, hypothesis, experiments, evaluation, outcome. Redact client names or use a hypothetical. We assess structure and judgement, not logos.
  • Availability + preferred rate — when you can start and how you like to bill.
