Key Responsibilities:
- Engage with all aspects of Finance & Accounting, including Accounts Receivable (AR), Accounts Payable (AP), and Weekly Payroll.
- Support the Month-end and Year-end processes, including Balance Sheet reconciliation and Profit & Loss (P&L) reviews for multiple entities.
- Maintain the Fixed Asset Register and process monthly Journals as required.
- Assist in Cashflow management, Payment Processing, and Bank Reconciliation.
- Contribute to IT upgrade and automation initiatives, driving process improvements.
- Prepare statutory returns, including GST and PAYE.
- Collaborate on future mergers, acquisitions, and other strategic projects.
To excel in this role, you'll bring:
- A Bachelor's degree in Accountancy in NZ and a pathway towards becoming a Chartered Accountant with CA ANZ (our organization is an ATO).
- A solid foundation in AP and AR functions.
- 2+ years of experience as an Assistant Accountant or 3-4 years in AP or Business analyst 
- Experience in accurate data entry and administration, with a keen eye for detail—experience in Xero is preferred.
- Proficiency in Microsoft Office applications, with confidence in Excel (including pivot tables).
- A proactive, down-to-earth attitude, excellent communication skills, and the ability to build strong relationships.
- Exposure to a product, manufacturing, or retail business, with knowledge of Stock Management and Job Costing.
- Experience with Month-end processes, including Balance Sheet reconciliation and P&L variance commentary (preferred but not essential).
What We Offer:
- A dynamic, growth-oriented environment where your contributions will make an impact.
- Opportunities for professional development and involvement in exciting projects to be qualified accountant.
- A collaborative culture that values innovation and embraces new ideas.
Position available from early November—but we are open to waiting for the right candidate.
