Manager – Corporate Tax - Private Clients

Manager – Corporate Tax, Private Clients 

The opportunity 

As a Manager in our Private Tax team, you’ll work with some of the most dynamic and influential private enterprises in the market. While many of our clients operate at a national and international scale, they are privately owned—often by high‑net‑worth individuals and entrepreneurial families—which means you’ll have direct exposure to decision‑makers and the ability to see the tangible impact of your advice.

Your client portfolio will span high‑growth start‑ups, established private businesses, and complex family enterprise structures, offering variety, pace and real commercial depth. This is an opportunity to move beyond “business as usual” compliance—partnering closely with founders and family principals to support strategic growth, succession, and long‑term wealth preservation.

This is a hybrid position Naarm – Melbourne . Our roles can potentially be adjusted to work flexibly with reduced hours. Please speak with us about potential options. 

Your key responsibilities

• Managing a portfolio of diverse growth clients including privately owned corporate groups, privately owned business, high net wealth families, trusts, and other privately owned entities. 

• Oversee tax compliance, financial statements, planning, and assisting on advisory services for extensive client groups featuring diverse entity types such as trusts, companies, partnerships, and individuals. 

• Working directly with Partners and senior Tax specialists in delivering advice to privately owned corporate groups, high-net-worth individuals, family businesses, and their owners on intricate tax matters, including restructures, domestic transactions, capital gains tax, Division 7A, and specific trust issues. 

Skills and attributes for success  

• Experience in Tax Consulting, ideally in a top-tier or second-tier accounting firm or legal firm.
• Experience in managing junior staff and their development
• Advanced tax technical knowledge relevant to any of the corporate groups, individuals or trusts

Ideally, you’ll have the skills and attributes below but don’t worry if you don’t tick all the boxes. We’re interested in your aptitude, attitude and willingness to learn.  

• Experience managing a portfolio of clients 

• Tax experience, preferably gained in a professional services environment in Australia  

• Excellent client facing skills with the confidence to lead client meetings and build a network
