Description
Senior Accountant / Client Manager (Business Services)
Your own portfolio of SMEs turning over $1m to $10m, high net worth families and the group structures that come with them. A dedicated Philippines-based CPA preparing the compliance. Directors who back you to advise.
At LINK we call this role Client Advisor. On paper it is a senior accountant, supervisor or client manager. To the client, you are “my accountant”: the person they call before they sign the lease, buy the ute or pay themselves a dividend.
This is not a compliance role with advisory sprinkled on top. You will be in front of clients from your first month, and you will be accountable for the relationship.
Full time preferred. Part time considered for the right person.
LINK has been going since 2012 and is now 45 people across Brisbane and the Philippines, with accounting, bookkeeping, lending, wealth, property, marketing and creative under one roof (link.com.au). The Advisors team (linkadvisors.com.au) is 5 accountants in Fortitude Valley and 5 in the Philippines, so your clients can be referred across the group without leaving the building.
Xero, Karbon and Fathom run the practice, and Claude sits on every desk for research, analysis and drafting. The compliance load is carried by systems and your offshore CPA so your hours go to clients. If you already use AI in your work, you’ll fit in quickly. If you’re curious and want to learn, we’ll teach you.

Hold a portfolio of small and medium business groups (companies, trusts, individuals) and own every deliverable in the fixed-fee engagement
