Senior Client Manager

You’re good at what you do. So, what’s next? You’ve built the experience. Your clients trust you. You know how to get the work done and help the people around you succeed.

Maybe you’re not even looking for another role. But if the right opportunity came along – one with more leadership, more influence and an exciting partnership opportunity, would you be curious enough to take a look?

The kind of person we’re looking for

Technical ability matters. But how you work with people matters just as much.

You don’t need to have all the answers. But we do want someone who asks good questions, takes responsibility and genuinely wants to make things better.

And yes, a partnership opportunity is on the table

We’re not saying “partnership” simply to make a job ad sound more appealing.

There is an exciting opportunity to progress towards partnership with Wardle Partners Accountants & Advisors.

We’re looking for someone who wants to make a meaningful contribution to our firm – building strong client relationships, empowering people, bringing ideas to the table and thinking beyond their own workload.

Partnership isn’t promised simply because you’ve been here for a certain number of years. It’s an opportunity to show us what you can bring to the future of the firm.

If becoming a Partner is something you’d like to work towards, we’d love to hear what that means to you.

Not on the Sunshine Coast? That’s okay

The right person for this role might not live here yet.

If you’re currently living outside the Sunshine Coast, we offer a relocation allowance to help make the move easier.

So don’t let your postcode stop you from starting the conversation.

Our values aren’t words on a wall

They shape how we work with our clients and each other.

If those behaviours sound natural to you, there’s a good chance you’ll fit in well here.

People are our greatest asset. We care about our clients, our team and the impact our work has on them.

We lift capability and help others succeed.

Better is always possible. We take pride in doing things well and keep looking for ways to improve.

Positive intent drives better outcomes. Problems happen; what matters is how we respond.

Ready to take the next step?

Record a video answering the five questions or submit your answers in writing through our online application form below.

We’re not looking for perfectly polished answers. We want to understand how you think, how you lead, how you work with people and what you want from the next stage of your career.

If this sounds like the opportunity you’ve been waiting for or even one you weren’t looking for, we’d love to hear from you.

These are the five questions you’ll need to answer as part of your application:

You inherit a small accounting team tomorrow. They’re good people, but jobs are getting stuck, deadlines are slipping and everyone feels busy. What are the first three things you do?

Tell us about someone you’ve helped develop professionally. What did you do, and what changed for them?

We’re offering a genuine opportunity to progress towards partnership. What does being a Partner in an accounting firm mean to you, and what do you think you’d need to demonstrate to be offered it?

Imagine you’ve been with us for one year and you’re absolutely loving your role. What would need to have happened during the year for you to feel that way?

Tell us about a client relationship you’re particularly proud of. What did you do that made you more than just their accountant?

We want to get to know you

If this role has made you curious, we’d love to hear from you.

No traditional cover letter required.

Send us your resume and answer the five questions above, either by video or in writing, whichever feels more comfortable for you. If you choose video, there’s no need for fancy editing or a perfectly rehearsed presentation. We want to meet the real you.
