Join SEIVA as an Assistant Manager and do work that actually feels good. You’ll be part of a clever, kind team that cares—about clients, each other, and yep, even spreadsheets. If you’re looking for meaningful work at one of Australia’s top-ranked workplaces, this could be your next career move. 

Who’s hiring?
We’re SEIVA. We’re business, tax and wealth experts—but not the kind you’re used to. Think less stiff suits, more smart humans who genuinely care. About our clients, about each other, and about building working lives that feel joyful and purposeful. We’ve created something pretty cool in Melbourne—and now we’re growing our Adelaide team. Our mission? To effect positive change in the lives of ambitious business owners. We help them grow profits, make smarter decisions, and feel better doing it. Because great business advice should improve your life, not just your balance sheet. We’re also proud to offer a truly excellent workplace culture (certified, in fact—we’re a Great Place to Work® and ranked #5 nationally). Sound like your kind of accounting firm? Thought so.

So, what’s the role?
We’re on the lookout for a technically strong Senior Accountant with a bit of client advisory experience (or a healthy appetite to build it). You’ll work closely with an experienced Client Advisor and a supportive team to deliver a mix of business advisory, tax, and compliance services to your own portfolio of wonderful clients. It’s the ideal role if you’re ready to step into something a bit more fulfilling. You’ll get the autonomy to grow, the mentorship to keep learning, and the opportunity to shape something from the ground up as we expand our Adelaide presence.

Here’s what a typical day in the role might look like:

  • Preparing and reviewing tax returns, BAS and financial statements 
  • Meeting with clients and helping them decode their numbers so they can make better business decisions
  • Supporting the development of strategic business plans (and getting excited when it all clicks for the client)
  • Collaborating with your Client Advisor and the broader team to deliver the kind of service that makes clients think, “Why didn’t I find SEIVA sooner?”
  • Keeping yourself and others on track—organised, accountable, and always looking ahead
  • Getting involved in team-wide initiatives, contributing ideas, and shaping the growth of the Adelaide office
Enough about us—let's talk about whether this role is for you!

You might be our next Assistant Manager if you are:
  • A technically solid accountant with at least 5 years’ experience in public practice
  • CA or CPA qualified (or close to it) with a relevant Bachelor’s degree
  • Someone who thrives in client-facing roles—you love building relationships and helping people feel supported
  • Calm, organised, and across the detail (but able to zoom out when needed)
  • A confident communicator with clear written and verbal skills
  • Committed to growth (yours, and your clients’) and always up for learning
  • Tech-savvy, with experience using Xero, MYOB, Word, Excel, Outlook—the usual suspects
  • Most importantly, someone who gives a damn. About their clients. Their team. And doing work that actually helps people.
What’s in it for you?
  • A truly excellent workplace culture (certified, in fact—we’re a Great Place to Work® and ranked #5 nationally)
  • The chance to help grow our Adelaide office and make your mark
  • Leadership that genuinely supports you (professionally, personally, and everything in between)
  • A balanced approach to work and wellbeing—we walk our talk
  • Ongoing professional development (we’re obsessed with learning)
  • The opportunity to do meaningful work with people who are as kind as they are capable
