Senior Accountant

Sydney CBD, New South Wales 2000, Australia • Full-time

Description

About Nine Advisory

At Nine Advisory, we’re not your typical accounting firm.

We’re on a mission to help 10,000 Australian SMEs achieve Lifestyle or Performance Success. Our clients see us as more than accountants – we’re their outsourced CFO, their trusted advisor, and often their first phone call when clarity is needed.

We work hands-on with founders and boards to deliver real financial control, growth, and confidence.

The Opportunity

This is not a back-office compliance role. As a Senior Accountant at Nine Advisory, you will:

  • Own a portfolio of SME clients (turnover $5m–$50m) – be their day-to-day trusted advisor.
  • Deliver monthly management reporting with insights that help clients make confident decisions.
  • Lead weekly and fortnightly cash flow calls, helping clients manage liquidity and stay in control.
  • Build 3-way forecasts and scenario models, supporting strategy, growth, and funding.
  • Liaise directly with banks and financiers — preparing and presenting reporting packs, helping clients secure and manage funding.
  • Gain valuable experience in Advisory Board and management meetings, simplifying complex numbers into practical business insights.
  • Oversee and review weekly and monthly reporting, annual reporting, payroll and all other elements to ensure clients have complete visibility.
  • Balance compliance excellence with commercial advisory, giving clients a complete finance function they can trust.

You’ll be given autonomy over your clients with the support of our Head of Operations, senior managers, and offshore team.

What We’re Looking For

  • 5–6 years’ experience in business services, taxation, or business advisory.
  • Confident in structuring, compliance, and taxation (Division 7A, CGT, FBT).
  • Practical experience in cash flow management, 3-way forecasting, and financial modelling.
  • Comfortable in client-facing meetings, boardrooms, and bank discussions.
  • Organised, proactive, and methodical – clients feel nothing is “last-minute” under your watch.
  • Relationship-driven – able to build trust with SMEs who rely on us to steer their financial future.

Qualifications: Bachelor of Commerce/Accounting. CA/CPA qualified or near completion preferred.

Why Join Nine Advisory?

  • Mission-driven: Be part of our goal to help 10,000 SMEs achieve clarity, confidence, and growth.
  • True advisory role: Move beyond compliance and become a mini-CFO for your clients.
  • Client variety: From boutique businesses to large multi-entity groups – no two clients are the same.
  • Growth pathway: As Nine Advisory scales, you’ll have clear opportunities to step into leadership and advisory-focused roles.
  • New CBD office: Based at Spring Street, Sydney – a modern, collaborative workspace.
