Description

Intermediate / Senior Accountant – Real Client Exposure & Ownership

McQueen Group | Melbourne CBD

At McQueen Group, we’re building something long-term.

We are a 30‑year established professional services firm, and more than 50% of our business is owned by employees who are not the founder — both by number of shareholders and equity held.

We’re now looking for an Intermediate to Senior Accountant who wants real responsibility, real client exposure, and the opportunity to grow into ownership over time.

What makes this role genuinely different

Real client exposure — early. This is not a back-office compliance role.

Even at intermediate level, accountants at McQueen:

  • Communicate directly with clients
  • Sit in on meetings and calls
  • Work on real client situations, not just templates
  • Are coached on explaining technical matters in plain English

This level of exposure is rare for juniors and intermediates, and it accelerates development significantly.

Ownership for everyone, not just a few

  • Employee Share Scheme available to all employees after 3 years
  • Over 50% non-founder employee ownership
  • We genuinely believe the people building the firm should share in its success

This is a place for people who want to belong, not just pass through.

Time, balance, and recognition

In addition to standard leave, we provide 5 additional paid leave days each year, including:

  • Book / learning leave
  • McQueen Gives (community / volunteering day)
  • Christmas Eve
  • Your birthday

These days are encouraged and respected.

Strong support with clear expectations

  • Three Accounting Managers
  • Hands on Partner involved in reviews and coaching
  • Clear feedback, ongoing development
  • High standards around communication and ownership

You’re never expected to know everything — You are expected to communicate early and take responsibility.

 

This role is for you if:

  • You’re honest about your technical capability
  • You research well and ask questions early
  • You want to be client facing, not hidden
  • You’re interested in building a long-term career — potentially as an owner

This role is not for you if:

  • You oversell your experience
  • You prefer to struggle silently rather than escalate
  • You want a purely compliance only role

If you want to be treated like a future owner and build real capability with real clients, we’d love to hear from you.

Direct applications welcome. You’re also welcome to message us directly.
