ABOUT THE ROLE

We have an awesome office where the vibes and laughs are aplenty, but we are happy to consider a work-from-home/ hybrid situation too. Whether you’re dreaming of a sea change and want to move for the lifestyle (we can highly recommend it!) or you’re based in the Waikato, Coromandel or Bay of Plenty and don’t mind a beach commute, this could be your perfect role for more balance and better living.

- Present final accounts and advisory insights confidently to clients.
- Build trusted client relationships and assist with a wide range of queries.
- Prepare monthly management reports, cashflow forecasts, financial statements, and income tax returns for individuals, partnerships, trusts, and companies.
- Handle GST, PAYE, and FBT returns with ease.
- Train clients on Xero and help them level up their skills.
- Share your technical knowledge generously with the team and mentor junior members.
- Contribute to the ongoing evolution of our systems, processes, and IP.

- Is CA qualified (preferred but not essential) with 2+ years of experience in a New Zealand accounting firm.
- Is fluent in Xero and Xero Workpapers and well-versed in NZ tax legislation
- Demonstrates a strong understanding of compliance requirements, including Companies Act, AML, and IRD reporting standards
