About KHI Accounting Brisbane

KHI Accounting Brisbane is a well-established, forward-thinking Chartered Accounting and advisory practice based in Spring Hill. As part of the broader KHI Partners group, we combine the resources of a multidisciplinary firm with the personal service and close working relationships of a local Brisbane team.

We pride ourselves on delivering high-quality advice, maintaining strong client relationships and creating an environment where talented people can build rewarding long-term careers.

About KHI Partners

KHI Partners is a forward-thinking global and multi-disciplinary advisory group led by senior management with Big 4 backgrounds. With 51 Partners and over 213 team members across Australia, the UK and the Philippines, and expansion into Melbourne and New Zealand planned for 2026, we are growing rapidly while maintaining a strong, collaborative culture.

We work with sophisticated clients-many with complex investment property portfolios-and go beyond compliance to deliver strategic, advisory-focused solutions that create real value.

Your New Career

Are you a Senior Accountant who wants to do more than prepare financial statements and tax returns?

At KHI, we're looking for someone who wants to build a long-term career, not simply move into another accounting role.

You'll work directly with our Partners and Managers, manage your own portfolio of business clients, and progressively take on greater responsibility across tax planning, client advisory, team development, workflow management and technical review responsibilities.

As our client base continues to grow, this role has been created to provide additional review capacity and support workflow management across our Australian and offshore teams, while providing genuine long-term career development opportunities.

We're a growing boutique accounting practice based in Spring Hill, just a short walk from Brisbane Central Station. We deliberately operate differently to many larger and higher-volume firms. We value quality over quantity, long-term client relationships over chargeable hours, and investing in people over creating layers of management.

Why Join KHI?

A Team Culture People Stay For

We believe great client outcomes start with great people.

Our team is collaborative, supportive and genuinely invested in helping each other succeed. Partners and Managers are accessible, knowledge is shared openly, and you'll never be expected to simply "figure it out yourself".

We've built a culture where people are encouraged to ask questions, develop their technical skills, take ownership of their work and contribute ideas for improvement.

Most importantly, you'll never be just another number.

Quality Over Volume

We're not a production-line accounting firm.

Our focus is on delivering high-quality work, practical advice and exceptional client service. We encourage our team to understand the "why" behind the work, think critically and build genuine long-term relationships with clients.

If you enjoy solving problems, adding value and taking pride in your work, you'll fit right in.

Direct Access to Leadership

You'll work directly with Partners and Managers on a daily basis, gaining exposure to:

• Tax planning
• Business structuring
• Client meetings
• Complex taxation matters
• Advisory projects
• Practice improvement initiatives

This level of exposure provides an excellent platform to accelerate both your technical and professional development**.**

Genuine Career Progression

We're looking for someone interested in growing into increased leadership responsibilities over time.

As your experience develops, you'll receive greater exposure to client management, team leadership, reviewing work, mentoring staff and higher-level tax planning and advisory engagements.

For the right person, this role offers a genuine pathway towards future management opportunities.

Flexible Working

We understand that flexibility matters.

• Hybrid working arrangements
• Typically 3-4 days in the office and 1-2 days working from home
• Flexible start and finish times where appropriate
• Modern office just a short walk from Brisbane Central Station

Professional Development Support

We invest heavily in our people and their long-term success.

We provide:

• Full CA/CPA course fee support
• Paid study leave
• Ongoing technical mentoring
• Direct Partner and Manager coaching
• Exposure to a broad range of industries and client types

International Collaboration

We operate as an integrated Australian and Philippines team. Our offshore team is an important part of the business, working alongside our Australian staff to deliver high-quality outcomes for clients as one collaborative team.

You'll work closely with our offshore team, assist in developing graduate and offshore staff, and may have opportunities to travel to the Philippines periodically (approximately every 1-2 years) to strengthen relationships and collaboration across the group.

The Role

As a Senior Accountant, you'll be responsible for managing a portfolio of SME clients while providing technical guidance, review support and mentorship to graduate and offshore team members.

Key Responsibilities

• Preparing and reviewing financial statements, income tax returns and BAS
• Managing a portfolio of business, investment and family group clients
• Assisting with tax planning, business structuring and advisory engagements
• Reviewing financial statements, tax returns and compliance work prepared by graduate and offshore team members
• Providing technical guidance and feedback to junior and offshore accountants
• Working directly with clients to solve taxation and business challenges
• Collaborating with Partners and Managers on complex taxation and advisory matters
• Assisting with workflow management across our Australian and Philippines teams
• Contributing to process improvement and practice efficiency initiatives

Who We’re Looking For

We're looking for someone with 4+ years of Australian public practice experience who:

• Has strong business services and taxation experience
• Can independently manage a portfolio of SME clients
• Has demonstrated experience reviewing financial statements, tax returns and compliance work prepared by other accountants
• Communicates confidently and professionally with clients
• Has strong technical and problem-solving skills
• Takes ownership, shows initiative and approaches challenges with a practical, solutions-focused mindset
• Enjoys supporting and developing junior team members
• Is interested in further developing their tax planning and advisory skills
• Is CA/CPA qualified or actively working towards qualification
• Is looking for genuine career progression and long-term development
