Work Where Career and Lifestyle Align

Start your day with a walk along the water, a coffee from a nearby café, and a seat in our modern, light-filled office overlooking parklands. At Clarke McEwan, our Maroochydore office is designed to support both productivity and wellbeing.

We're a team of Chartered Accountants and Advisors who care deeply about doing great work, supporting each other, and building long-term client relationships with real impact.

Here's what you can expect:

Why Clarke McEwan?

We're the right size to make a difference—big enough to offer variety and stability, but small enough for your voice to be heard. You won't get lost in layers of hierarchy or pulled in every direction. Instead, you'll find a team that genuinely cares and a firm with a long-term vision.
