01
A business-owner mindset.
You see accounting as a platform for strategic thinking, not a career destination. Commercial problems need commercial solutions — and you reach for those first.
We're hiring · CA / CPA · Brisbane
There's more to accounting than this.
If you're a qualified accountant who's realised tax prep isn't where your energy goes — this is the other path. At Thryvv you advise directors on the decisions that actually matter: turnaround, growth, feasibility, exit. Client work, not compliance checklists. Counsel, not lodgement deadlines.
We're building a new category of accounting.
Most firms chase compliance revenue. We chase impact. Thryvv is accounting reimagined as advocacy — we sit beside directors as a true second-in-command, reading their P&L, their market and their risk, and telling them the truth. Turnaround, feasibility, sale prep, succession, dispute resolution: real problems for real people.
The market for director-focused accounting is moving faster than we can hire. That means rare, valuable expertise — and the chance to build something new, with real partnership opportunities as the firm scales.
Who you are
Built for people who'd rather solve problems than file them.
You don't have to come from distressed advisory — plenty of us didn't. What matters is the mindset. These are the four things every person here has in common.
02
Strong with numbers, stronger with people.
You can read a financial statement in seconds and explain what it means in plain language. You'd rather counsel a director than optimise a tax return.
03
You thrive in complexity.
Messy situations, incomplete data, competing interests — that energises you, it doesn't paralyse you. Every day here is different, and that's the point.
04
An advocate, not a vendor.
You're in the director's corner, telling them the truth even when it's hard. Trust is the whole job — we never take it lightly, and we never poach a referrer's client.
What we offer
Set up to do your best work.
We're flexible because we've got the work to back it up. Real autonomy, a team behind you, and a path that actually goes somewhere.
Salary that's negotiable — genuinely
Paid on what you bring, not a band. We're flexible because the work is there to back it up.
A real path to partnership
Both salary and equity partnership opportunities as the firm scales — not a vague someday.
Autonomy over your clients
You own your relationships and service delivery. Your judgment shapes outcomes from day one.
A team that handles the grunt work
You're not drowning in data entry or lodgements. Your focus stays on the high-value thinking.
Rare, growing expertise
Director-focused advisory is expanding fast. Build a specialism that's genuinely valuable and hard to find.
Brisbane base, real flexibility
Hybrid days and a steady pipeline — you'll be busy from day one, without the burnout culture.
