Tax Director

Altus

We are a leading private client advisory firm with over 30 years' experience working with SMEs and high net wealth individuals and families.

The purpose of our business is to make a positive difference to our clients' financial outcomes. To do that we deliver a breadth of specialised financial advice tailored to every stage of our clients' journey. You will be an integral part of that and a growing AFR top 50 firm with numerous awards for our innovative and integrated accounting and financial planning services.

Rather than the traditional professional firms where the professionals spend their careers working crazy hard in environments that don't support them properly – we aspire to be the place where professionals can spend time outside the office on their interests, while still helping clients solve challenging issues, and being supported by modern tech, systems and aspiring people, in an environment that supports flexibility and individualised career plans – where you can progress at your desired pace, working on clients and projects you enjoy.

The people who join Altus want it all – they aspire to do challenging work in a modern and growing business, look after a great client portfolio, spend time with their equally aspiring workmates, while working to outcomes in a flexible and supportive environment that supports both their work and personal goals.

So, we create the environment for them – doing professional services differently.
