You will work closely with senior team members and clients, providing commercially focused Australian tax advice while developing your technical, advisory and client management capabilities.

- Assisting clients with the tax aspects of mergers, acquisitions and other transactions.
- Undertaking and assisting with tax due diligence for business acquisitions.
- Reviewing the tax provisions and implications of sale and purchase agreements.
- Assisting with post-acquisition matters, including tax consolidation calculations, implementation issues and stub-period tax returns.
- Researching Australian tax legislation and developments and translating technical issues into practical advice for clients.
- Identifying potential tax risks and opportunities and assisting clients in developing appropriate strategies.
- Working closely with specialists across tax, audit, deals and advisory to provide broader solutions to clients.
- Supporting, coaching and mentoring junior team members.
- Contributing to process improvements and the use of technology to improve the efficiency and quality of tax engagements.

- Experience in Australian corporate tax, business tax or private client tax gained within an accounting firm, professional services firm or similar environment.
- Strong Australian income tax knowledge and experience across both tax compliance and advisory.
- Experience working with companies and/or complex private groups involving entities such as companies, trusts, partnerships and individuals.

- Strong written and verbal communication skills with the confidence to deal directly with clients and senior stakeholders.
- Excellent attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple engagements and deadlines.

- A relevant accounting, finance, tax, commerce or legal background, with CA, CPA or other relevant professional qualifications highly regarded.
Why Consider This Opportunity?
- Work across an interesting mix of large corporate, multinational and privately owned clients.
- Gain exposure to both tax advisory and compliance, rather than being limited to a purely compliance-focused position.
- Develop experience across transactions, acquisitions, restructures, tax planning and complex business structures.
