Description
About Andromedae
Andromedae is an established SMSF and accounting firm with a large, loyal client base and a strong flow of warm inbound clients. We’ve built the business by doing the work properly, being straightforward with people, and following through.
Our clients come to us because they want structure, clarity, and practical information they can act on. They value straight answers, confidence in decision-making, and knowing what the next step is. They are not looking for sales pressure or endless conversations. They want outcomes.
We’re now building our financial planning arm under our own AFSL, backed by an existing client base and real demand. This is not a start-from-zero role. The foundations are already here, and the opportunity is to build something meaningful on top of them.
We work closely across accounting, SMSF, and advice to give clients joined-up thinking and clear direction. Internally, we’re capable, direct, and collaborative. We take our responsibility seriously (though we don’t take ourselves too seriously), move quickly when decisions need to be made, and don’t overcomplicate things.
We’re based in Burleigh Heads on the Gold Coast, close to the beach and good coffee, and we’re building an office that reflects how we work.
About You
You’re a qualified financial planner with around 3–5 years’ experience providing personal advice under an AFSL. You know how to run client meetings, write advice, implement strategies, and follow through.
You’re comfortable talking about money, outcomes, and next steps. You enjoy building momentum with clients and you’re motivated by personal growth and opportunity.
You’ve likely worked in a property-focused, SMSF-heavy, or growth-oriented advice environment, and you want a role where effort and capability translate into real opportunity.
You’re confident, personable, and good at building trust. Clients feel comfortable with you, and you know how to move a conversation forward without being pushy or losing sight of what’s right for the client.
You enjoy being part of a team that does good work, treats clients well, and keeps things grounded.
