About Us

We are a well-established and highly experienced accounting firm based in Southport on the Gold Coast.

  • Navigate complex areas of taxation including Div7A, CGT, and FBT.
  • Prepare and lodge BAS.
  • Manage your own workflow and client relationships while collaborating with the team.
  • Participate in peer review processes, which not only ensure quality and accuracy but also provide opportunities for continuous learning and growth.

About You

  • Minimum 5 years' experience in a public practice tax role in Australia.
  • Strong technical knowledge of trusts, companies, and related tax issues.
  • Critical thinker with the ability to approach problems logically and practically.
