Key responsibilities include:

  • Leading multiple complex audit engagements across all phases
  • Developing strategic client relationships and contributing to business growth
  • Mentoring and developing audit talent at all levels
  • Reviewing and signing off audit reports with precision and confidence
  • Building subject matter expertise in the aged care and NFP sectors
  • Representing the firm at industry events and forums

About You

You are a natural leader with:

  • CA/CPA qualifications (RCA accreditation highly regarded)
  • 10+ years' experience in external audit within Australia
  • Strong technical knowledge of AASBs and ASAs
  • A track record of managing complex audit jobs and high-performing teams
  • A collaborative mindset with exceptional communication and stakeholder skills
  • Experience or interest in the aged care, NFP or disability services sectors

What's In It For You?

  • Work with a high-calibre leadership team in a respected and stable firm
  • Enjoy a flexible, supportive workplace culture that values your growth
  • Make a meaningful impact on purpose-led organisations
  • Competitive remuneration package with clear progression opportunities
