We are looking for a Senior Tax Advisor ideally with experience working in a chartered accounting firm, in-house or the ATO. You will be able to partner effectively with multiple stakeholders and be a trusted advisor in your space. You will have the following skills & experience:

And because everyone leads unique lives, we offer flexible work including work from home, additional leave and parental leave entitlements.

We’re continuing to build a gender equitable team, and a culture that’s just as diverse, inclusive and welcoming as the communities we serve.
