Ready to step into a more commercial, advisory-focused role?

If you’re looking to:

● Work closely with clients as a trusted business partner
● Move beyond compliance into forward-thinking, value-add work
● Have real impact on business performance and decision-making
● Be part of a firm doing things differently

This could be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.

About Us

Cahill is a modern accounting and advisory firm built to challenge the status quo.  We work with ambitious, owner-managed businesses who want to grow, evolve, and make better decisions and we act as their true finance partner, not just their accountant.

We’ve deliberately designed our firm differently:

● Advisory and compliance are separate (so you can focus on value-add work)
● We prioritise proactive advice over reactive reporting
● We’ve built a culture that supports real careers and real lives (including no Friday afternoons)

The Role

This is a Finance Business Partner role within our Advisory team.

You’ll manage a portfolio of clients and work closely with them to:
● Understand their business
● Interpret their numbers
● Help them make better commercial decisions

This is not an “email-bound” role: it’s about relationships, insight, and impact.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll be involved in a wide range of advisory work, including:

● Monthly and quarterly client engagements
● Cashflow forecasting and scenario modelling
● Business valuations
● Financial strategy and planning
● Funding and finance support
● M&A and growth projects

You’ll also play a key role in onboarding new clients and diving deep into their business from day one.

What Makes This Role Different

● High client interaction: you’ll build real relationships
● Variety: no two days or clients are the same
● Meaningful work: you’ll help businesses make real decisions
● Fast growth and opportunity: exposure to advisory work now (not years down the
track)
● A better way of working: no unnecessary long hours or “busy season” chaos

About You

We’re less interested in where you’ve worked and more interested in how you think.

You might come from:
● Public practice
● Commercial finance
● Or a mix of both

What matters most is that you:
● Have a strong accounting foundation
● Enjoy working with people and building relationships
● Are curious about how businesses operate
● Can context-switch between different clients and challenges quickly
● Think beyond the obvious and ask great questions
● Bring energy, initiative, and a genuine desire to help

Why Join Cahill?
● $120K–$130K salary (depending on experience)
● No Friday afternoons
● Flexible working (including WFH a day a week)
● A highly collaborative, supportive team
● Real, personalised career development (not tick-box training)
● The chance to be part of a firm shaping the future of accounting

Who This Role Is Perfect For

Someone who:
● Wants to move beyond compliance into advisory
● Is frustrated with traditional firms
● Wants to do more meaningful, commercial work
● Enjoys variety, challenge, and working closely with clients

Don’t tick every box? That’s okay.

We know that many great candidates, particularly women, only apply for roles when they feel they meet every requirement. At Cahill, we’re more interested in your potential, mindset, and how you think than a perfect match on paper.
If this role excites you but your experience doesn’t align 100%, we’d still genuinely encourage you to put yourself forward.
