Location: Auckland - Auckland CBD
Work Type: Permanent Full Time

Looking for a role where you can step out of hands‑on compliance and into genuine commercial advisory? Our client is expanding rapidly and is building a stronger management layer across several teams. They are seeking confident, client‑facing BAS professionals who can lead people, review work at a high standard, and support SMEs through real‑world challenges.
The Opportunity
You’ll join a firm that is transforming the way it supports clients — shifting from traditional compliance to deeper advisory and commercial problem‑solving. With offshore teams (and AI tools) handling the bulk of preparation work, your focus will be on:
- Reviewing compliance work completed by offshore and local teams
- Leading, coaching, and developing junior accountants
- Managing client relationships with confidence and maturity
- Supporting clients with cashflow, funding, budgeting, forecasting, and business planning
- Contributing to value‑add projects such as valuations, due diligence, M&A, and forensic assignments
- Playing a key role in the firm’s growth and advisory evolution
- These roles sit at the heart of the firm’s next phase — ideal for someone who can operate independently from day one.
About You
You’ll be a strong fit if you bring:
- Solid BAS experience with proven review capability
- Experience managing offshore teams (highly advantageous)
- Strong communication skills and confidence dealing directly with clients
- Ability to mentor and guide junior staff
- CAANZ/CPA qualification (preferred)
- Commercial judgement and a proactive, solutions‑focused mindset
- (Manager level) Exposure to advisory or corporate finance work such as forecasting, valuations, due diligence, or similar
What’s on Offer
- Assistant Manager: $115k–$125k
- Manager: $130k–$145k + car park
- Modern CBD offices (onsite work environment)
- Minimal hands‑on compliance — focus on review + advisory
- A firm investing heavily in growth and transformation
- Real leadership influence across multiple teams
- A supportive, collaborative culture
If you’re a strong Senior Accountant ready to step up, or an established AM/Manager looking for a more commercial, client‑facing role, this is a standout opportunity.
