• Planful, change oriented and a keen problem-solver.

This is an opportunity to apply your technical expertise in a practical, hands-on role while helping others build capability.

• Additional leave benefits and flexibility to support balance and long-term sustainability.
• The chance to work with and learn from highly regarded SMSF specialists and industry experts.
• The opportunity to develop your skills and qualification for Tax Agent accreditation.
• Scope to make real change in a growing organisation that values technical excellence and high-quality SMSF solutions.
• A collaborative culture built on courage, accountability, trust, authenticity, respect and excellence.

We’ve been providing SMSF services and products for advisers, accountants and trustees for over 25 years. With deep technical know-how, we leverage our expertise through our people, processes and platforms.

We administer SMSFs, provide documents and actuarial certificates, and use our unique place in the market to educate our partners and clients so they can make better decisions about their financial future.

Our values are Courage, Accountability, Trust, Authenticity, Respect and Excellence. We live them and recognise when they are role modelled by others.

This role can be offered as a fully remote position or hybrid from our Maitland or Brisbane offices. Occasional travel to Maitland may be required.

If you are ready to use your SMSF expertise to improve quality, support others and help shape best-practice administration, we would love to hear from you.
