Accounting jobs in Sydney
This page lists the accounting and finance jobs in Sydney that Prime People is recruiting for, and nearly all of them are in North Sydney. Prime Partners, Count Out Loud, SMSF Central and AusBusinessRegister.com.au, all firms in the Prime Partners group, have offices there. Between them they hire business services and tax accountants, SMSF accountants and administrators, creative industries and screen production accountants, virtual CFO and Finance Hub staff, and governance and company secretarial specialists, from graduate and intermediate level up to manager.
You can narrow the list by area: business services and tax, SMSF and super, CFO and finance leadership, creative industries, governance and compliance or graduate and intermediate roles. For pay, our 2026 accountant salary guide sets out Robert Half’s Sydney bands by role. An accountant in Sydney has a median of $119,900 and a senior accountant $130,800, base excluding super, and the guide goes on to finance manager, financial controller and CFO pay.
Prime Partners has worked from North Sydney for more than two decades, out of Level 4, 1 James Place, minutes from the station and the CBD. It is a chartered, partner-led firm looking after businesses, high-net-worth individuals and families across the Lower North Shore and greater Sydney. The roles we recruit for here sit across business advisory, tax, private client, SMSF and the Finance Hub.
The work is the draw. You do real advisory early instead of grinding through years of compliance, and you sit close to the clients you advise, backed by senior people from your first week. You get the capability of a bigger firm without losing the close client relationships that larger practices tend to let slip. CA and CPA study support, hybrid working and a clear route to more responsibility come with the job.
If you want a Sydney practice where the work is interesting and the path is clear, or you just want an honest read on the market before you move, we should talk. Every conversation is confidential.
