Senior Accountant/Assistant Manager or Manager

Summary about this job

Detail information about job Senior Accountant/Assistant Manager or Manager. Terms and conditions vacancy

• Auckland CBD location
• Attractive opportunity to grow with the role
• Outstanding opportunity with one of our long-standing clients in Auckland..

You are CA qualified and have at least 5-6 years current BAS experience in a client facing role. You have well developed compliance accounting and tax skills and are keen to expand your technical scope and gain exposure to new areas.

You are a strong communicator and enjoy working directly with clients and act not only as their competent accountant but a trusted business advisor.

You are likely to be working in a sizeable mid-tier or Big 4 firm in the city and would benefit from a move closer to home.

About the firm

Our client has strong values and the partners' philosophy is based on the simple premise that the services they provide to clients are only as good as the people who work in their teams.

The positive team based culture is conducive to high professional standards and career progression of the highest calibre. 

The diverse clientele means that all professional staff working in the firm get to work on a wide range of client engagements, from the traditional client accounting and tax services to highly complex special (advisory) projects.

The partners are commercially savvy and make good use of modern technology and current trends in the accounting profession. 

About the role

This is an excellent professional alternative to a similar role within a Big 4 or a larger mid-tier firm.

Working closely alongside supportive directors, your key duties and responsibilities will include:

• Preparation of periodic accounts
• Tax compliance
• Monthly reporting
• Managing a portfolio of key clients
• Budgeting & forecasting
• Assisting partners with special projects
• Various ad hoc operational and strategic client engagements

You will be working directly with a broad spectrum of SME clients with typical average annual turnover of $1 million to $50 million.

The role offers a degree of technical complexity that cannot be found in smaller firms, yet at the same time the culture and work environment will appeal to candidates looking for that 'close-knit team' boutique firm feel.

About you

The successful candidate will have outstanding interpersonal and client facing skills and ability to work well as part of a team. Our client is looking for a confident communicator with outstanding written and verbal communication skills.

At the senior to assistant manager level you will have solid client-facing experience in all aspects of compliance and monthly reporting. 

Naturally, for the upper end of the range of our client brief, we are looking for an accomplished managerial professional with proven team management competencies and experience. 

While partnership aspirations are not a requirement, as long as you have the above mentioned experience and skills, our client is planning on adding a new equity partner in the longer term. So this could be your stepping stone in that direction, if that is you long-term goal. 

Salary indication: $80,000 - $135,000 depending on level and experience. This offer is available through SCI in Auckland. Give us a call to find out all.
