Christchurch, Canterbury, New Zealand Sbasi Limited Full time

About Sbasi Limited

Sbasi Limited is a leading provider of accounting and business advisory services across our South Island network of nine Small Business Accounting Franchises. Our team is dedicated to helping clients succeed by utilizing Xero and other practice tools to meet their unique needs.

We are seeking an experienced Strategic Business Advisor to join our team in Ashburton. This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to make a significant impact and contribute to our continued growth. The right person will take our client offering to the next level, supported by the tools and resources from our wider group.

What You Will Do

  • Develop and maintain strong relationships with clients.
  • Understand client needs and provide advisory solutions.
  • Collaborate with internal teams to ensure client satisfaction across bookkeeping and annual financial statement preparation.
  • Contribute to business development and growth strategies.

Who We Are Looking For

We are looking for someone with proven experience in a client-facing role. A Chartered Accountant (CA) qualification would be an advantage, but it's not a requirement. Experience with review and delivery of annual financial statements, Xero software, and practice tools is essential. Strong communication and interpersonal skills are also necessary.

Benefits

  • A highly competitive salary package.
  • A company vehicle, phone, and covered expenses.
  • The possibility of an equity stake for appropriate candidates.
