The firm is often described as one of the employers of choice in Auckland. The partners have embraced strong values and a philosophy based on putting people first.

One of the most noticeable aspects of this sought-after organisation (when you read the various performance indicators) is the low staff turnover, probably one of the lowest in the industry.

This indicator alone is often considered by recruiters and job seekers as the most important factor for a successful and rewarding long-term employment.

The people working here are proud of their work environment and what the firm has achieved in terms of professional standards and client satisfaction rates. The professional development and training opportunities offered here are second to one.

The diverse client base and the variety of professionally stimulating assignments mean that professionals at all levels are exposed to high-calibre projects. 

This role will provide you with exposure not only to the traditional client accounting and tax compliance, but also a broad spectrum of special projects involving:

• business improvement
• business valuations
• financial modelling 
• due diligence 
• mergers & acquisitions
• financial analyses
• various other ad hoc client projects

The partners are relatively young and keep one step ahead of the pack in the professional services sector. They make good use of modern technologies and new trends in the accounting profession.

Our consultancy has worked closely with the firm for a number of years (having appointed a number of their key staff over the years) and we have observed first-hand their impressive progress in recent year. 

The firm has a history of attracting some of the top professionals in the sector. Many of these professionals have found the transition from Big 4 and larger mid-tier firms into this modern, technologically advanced organisation and refreshing and positive. 

Based in a handy location in close proximity to public transport and various amenities, this newly created role offers work impressive scope and variety within an enjoyable and positive work environment. 

This opportunity will be even more appealing to you, if you are looking for a Central Auckland based role that will provide you with industry leading professional development, unlimited career progression and all that in a refreshingly flexible team based environment.

This is a full-time permanent role and some of your main duties and responsibilities will include:

• Preparation of periodic accounts
• Tax compliance
• Monthly reporting
• Budgeting & forecasting
• Managing a portfolio of key clients and workflow 
• Assisting senior managers and partners with special projects
• Reviewing work performed by less experienced team members 
• Various ad hoc operational and strategic tasks as required

To be successful in this role, you will need to have outstanding interpersonal and client facing skills and ability to work well as part of a team.

Your strong systems skills and hands-on experience with Excel, Xero and MYOB (AO) will come handy in this role.

Good potential to advance your career further would be seen as a definitive advantage. The role can be viewed as a stepping stone to a Manager role in the medium term and will bring equity partnership prospects to the right candidate in the longer term.

In return for your solid experience and professional commitment, our client will provide you with an attractive remunerations package (including a generous base salary, paid professional CA membership and other benefits) and comprehensive management and administrative support.

To be considered for this opportunity, please contact Steve on (09) 962 5687 / 021 286 1114 or email your CV in strict confidence to [email protected] or [email protected] quoting reference number sk8799. Alternatively, you can apply online.
