You're a Chartered Accountant with a background in financial accounting or BAS, ideally from a private client, family office, or boutique advisory environment. You’re technically strong, love detail, and thrive in a setting where you can quietly make a big impact. Comfortable with a high level of trust and discretion, you’re someone who can operate independently, spot what needs doing, and just get on with it. You're equally happy rolling up your sleeves for admin-heavy work as you are building a model in Excel. You value long-term relationships, are curious about technology, and are looking for a role where you’ll genuinely become part of the inner circle.
This is a one-of-a-kind role for someone who wants meaningful work in a high-trust environment with no two days the same.
