Our Business

At Manulife Investment Management Forest Management (NZ) Limited (MFM (NZ)), we don't just manage forests - we shape the future of sustainable timberland investments. Established in 2004, we oversee approximately 200,000 hectares of plantation forest, delivering an annual harvest of approximately 4 million m³. As part of Manulife Investment Management Timberland and Agriculture Inc. (MIMTA) - a global leader in timberland investment - we are committed to responsible forestry and financial excellence.

Our tight-knit finance team of ten professionals ensures precision in budgeting, forecasting, log accounting, and financial reporting for our three key clients, as well as for MFM (NZ) itself. We're proud of our people-first, values-driven culture where financial expertise meets environmental stewardship.

With your keen attention to detail, you'll ensure all accounts payable transactional data is processed accurately, efficiently, and on time for both MFM (NZ) and our clients. Whether it's reconciling accounts or filing source documents in an organised fashion, your diligence will keep our financial operations running like clockwork.  Beyond the numbers, you'll also play a vital role in delivering exceptional internal customer service, supporting colleagues across teams with clear communication and a solutions-focused approach.

What We're Looking For
