Detail information about job Accountant - Business Services (Exclusive Role). Terms and conditions vacancy
Our client is a smaller practice based in Central Auckland. Due to growth, the opportunity has arisen for a CA or CPA qualified accountant to join the firm in a pivotal 2IC role.
The firm has a small team of junior accountants and the Director is looking for an accomplished senior accountant to fill an important gap in the existing team structure and create new opportunities for growth.
Our client has strong focus on professional standards and offers a degree of flexibility. This is a close-knit team environment with direct access to the director.
The firm offers regular seminars, team lunches and other events aimed at building and maintaining a healthy team spirit.
The firm’s clients come from a range of industries with the largest group entities turning over more than $60 million annually and boasting assets in excess of $100 million. This means exposure to technically complex client assignments.
The work environment here will appeal to someone, looking for a professional yet flexible and non-hierarchical structure with a reasonable degree of personal freedom (when it comes to operational/everyday decisions) and autonomy.
The office offers modern facilities (including a Gym with internal access from your office, which you can use free of charge) and is in close proximity to various amenities.
At this level you will have the technical expertise and confidence to help the firm increase the technical competencies/capabilities of the team.
In addition, you will be able to take some pressure off the Director (mostly day-to-day tasks) so that they can focus more on developing new business and bringing larger and more complex clients
The key items on our client's job brief include but are not limited to:
- Preparation of year-end financial statements
- Monthly management reporting
- Tax compliance (including preparation of various tax returns for a wide range of entities)
- General ledger reconciliations
- Managing daily interaction with clients of various industry and functional backgrounds
- Assisting clients with systems-related queries (MYOB, Bank Link, Excel and Xero)
- Reviewing and supervising a team of 5 junior and intermediate accountants
- Liaising with IRD, Banks, Lawyers and other external parties on behalf of your clients
- Taking full responsibility of the team and the practice when the Director is away
- Gradual exposure to value-add project for some of the largest and most complex clients
- Various other ad hoc tasks and projects
This is a busy,hands-on role that will provide you with good opportunities to broaden your technical scope in the medium to long term.
The firm’s business plan has clear focus on expanding their services in the advisory field in the future and the successful candidate will be able to develop new technical skills.
We are looking for a CA or CPA qualified accounting professional. It is important to point out that your technical skills and knowledge will be essential, as you will be the most senior professional in the team under the Director.
You are likely to have a minimum of 4-5 years solid hands-on experience in a client-facing role (in a CA environment!).
You will have well-rounded skills and experience with preparation of year-end financial accounts, tax compliance and monthly reporting.
You will be able to communicate in a clear and articulate manner and your ability to establish good rapport with clients and to interact with them effectively on a daily basis will be crucial for your success in this role.
