Senior Accountant – Boutique Firm with Big Ambitions

2 weeks ago

Brisbane, Queensland, Australia Otsana Group Full time $90,000 - $120,000 per year

We're a small but ambitious practice, building from the ground up with intention and care. The firm is led by a principal with mid-tier taxation advisory training, complemented by further experience in commercial roles and smaller firms. This mix has shaped a broad, practical approach that our clients rely on — not just for compliance, but for support in building and sustaining successful businesses.

We're looking for a capable and values-aligned Senior Accountant to join our team and take on a broad, hands-on role. The person who joins us now will help shape our future and will play a meaningful part in developing our systems, processes, and client relationships.

If you enjoy variety, autonomy, and being part of a supportive, collaborative environment — and you're the kind of person who gets satisfaction from doing great work that actually helps people — we'd love to hear from you.


About the Role

This role is ideal for someone who is technically strong, proactive, and solutions-focused. You'll be working directly with senior leadership and clients, handling a wide variety of work, and contributing to the evolution of a growing practice.

This role is ideal if you're returning to work, tired of big-firm pressures, or prefer staying hands-on with the work rather than managing people.


What You'll Be Doing

You'll need to be comfortable and capable with the full spectrum of public practice services, including:

  • Bookkeeping and account reconciliation
  • BAS preparation and lodgement
  • Financial statements and income tax return preparation
  • Assisting with payroll tax, QBCC, FBT and other ad hoc compliance tasks
  • Assisting with tax planning, management reporting and other business advisory services
  • Liaising with clients to answer queries and provide professional support
  • Collaborate with leadership on process improvements and growth

What We're Looking For

Experience & Qualifications

  • CA or CPA qualified
  • 4+ years' experience in Australian public practice (firm size doesn't matter)
  • Strong generalist background across a range of services and client types

Skills & Attributes

  • Highly organised and self-managing
  • Sharp attention to detail
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Willing to help out wherever needed
  • Genuine interest in professional and personal growth
  • Passionate about doing meaningful work with good people

Flexible Working Arrangements

  • Available to work from the office, but flexible hybrid options available
  • Open to both full-time or part-time arrangements — let's chat about what works for you

Why Join Us?

  • Genuine opportunity to shape and grow with a boutique practice
  • Friendly, down-to-earth team with shared values
  • No rigid hierarchy or red tape — just good people doing good work
  • A role where your contribution truly matters

Sound like you?

We'd love to hear from you. Send us your resume and a short note about why this role caught your eye.
