Accountancy firm WHK Group is looking for a new chief executive following the resignation of chief executive Graeme Fowler.
Fowler quit last week for lifestyle reasons after four-and-a-half years at the helm of Australia's fifth largest accounting group.
He was due to leave the Melbourne-based company at the end of last week and return to Sydney in December.
"WHK Group is a great organisation, but unfortunately I'm a bit of a Sydney boy and really need to come back and work on my tan," he told Investor Weekly.
"It's really about where we want to be as a family, so I'm going to come back to Sydney to have a break and go from there."
He plans to have six months off. Afterwards he may consider another job in the small caps market.
WHK Group managing director Kevin White will take on Fowler's responsibilities and duties until a replacement is found.
