We are looking for an SMSF accountant who wants to go deep in self-managed super. You will manage a portfolio of funds end to end, work closely with private clients, and have real room to grow your specialism in a focused team.
SMSF & Superannuation
SMSF & Superannuation mandates.
Self-managed super is a discipline of its own, and the firms we recruit for treat it that way. These are dedicated SMSF mandates, not general practice roles with a handful of funds attached, spanning fund administration, annual compliance, and the trustee-facing advisory work that sits above it. If you have built your career in BGL Simple Fund 360 or Class, know your way around the contribution caps, pension phase mechanics and the audit trail an SMSF auditor expects, this is where that specialisation is genuinely valued.
Our SMSF work is concentrated in North Sydney, principally through SMSF Central and the private advisory team at Prime Partners. The roles range from administrators keeping funds accurate and audit-ready year-round, through to client services managers who look after adviser partners and trustee relationships, and senior accountants owning end-to-end compliance for a portfolio. Several offer a clear path toward SMSF specialist accreditation for people who want to go deep rather than broad.
We place candidates at every stage, those moving across from broader business services who want to commit to super, through to seasoned fund accountants after a role with more ownership and less churn. What the hiring firms consistently ask for is judgement: the instinct to spot a non-arm's-length arrangement, a breach in the making, or a contribution that needs a second look before it becomes a problem. If that is your strength, we should talk. Every conversation is handled with discretion, and we will only ever put you forward for roles that fit what you actually want next.

Common questions
What SMSF jobs are available in Sydney right now?
The roles listed above are the current live SMSF mandates across the Prime Partners group, typically SMSF accountants, fund administrators and client services managers, mostly based in North Sydney. The list updates as firms open and close roles.
Do I need BGL or Class experience for an SMSF role?
Most SMSF roles here ask for hands-on experience with SMSF software such as BGL Simple Fund 360 or Class, because the day-to-day work runs on it. For candidates with strong fundamentals who are committed to specialising in super, some firms will consider training the software side.
Can I move into SMSF from business services?
Yes. Accountants moving across from broader business services who want to commit to superannuation are placed regularly, and the hiring firms value the broader grounding. What matters is genuine commitment to the specialisation rather than treating SMSF as a stopover.
