Location: Auckland - North Shore
Work Type: Permanent Full Time

Join a Firm That Supports Your Ambition Without Sacrificing Your Lifestyle
Our client is a well-established CA firm with deep roots in New Zealand and a growing international presence. They’re known for developing great people, offering outstanding career progression, and creating an environment where you can do high-quality work without the big-firm burnout.
This is a role with genuine variety, technical depth, and long-term potential — including a clear pathway to directorship for those who want it.
What Makes This Role Stand Out
- Diverse, high-level work — from review and complex compliance to consulting and advisory.
- Work closer to home — North Shore location with easy access and on-site parking.
- Career progression on your terms — advance toward director level, or enjoy a stable, rewarding long-term role without the pressure.
About You
You're a CA or CPA-qualified Senior Accountant or Assistant Manager with solid experience in business advisory services within a multi-partner firm. You're confident reviewing work, managing client relationships, and operating across tax, accounting, and consulting.
You might currently be in a Big 4 or mid-tier Auckland CBD practice and are ready for:
- a better work/life balance
- a shorter commute
- a culture that values people, not timesheets
- you want a role that grows with you — whether that’s toward leadership or simply into a challenging, fulfilling long-term position. If that sounds like you, this opportunity is worth serious attention.
About the Firm
This is a people-first organisation with strong values and a long-standing commitment to professional development. The firm is known for:
- A positive, collaborative team culture
- Exceptional training and progression opportunities
- A wide range of client work, from SME accounting and tax to IFRS reporting, valuations, business improvement, due diligence, financial modelling, and more
- Low staff turnover, thanks to strong leadership, supportive policies, and high employee satisfaction
- Candidates we’ve placed here consistently describe it as a modern, forward-thinking place to build a long-term career.
About the Role
Based on Auckland’s North Shore, this role offers the technical challenge of large-firm work in a far more relaxed environment.
You’ll work with substantial SMEs (typically $10million–$100million turnover, with some groups exceeding $100M). Expect broad exposure, complex engagements, and a supportive director group that encourages development while encourages work-life balance.
In a nutshell, if you’re looking for a meaningful step up, work that challenges you, a location that supports your lifestyle, and unlimited long-term growth at your own pace, then this role may be just the ticket for you.
