The firm
Our client is a smaller chartered accounting firm with long history in the CA sector in Auckland. The firm has a loyal and diverse clientele and makes good use of the cloud technology.
The firm has enjoyed sustained growth over many years and recently has added several sizeable new clients.
The practice has grown impressively over the past 25 years and boasts an impressive client list of a broad spectrum of entities operating across many industries. The majority of the firm’s clients are in the $5mil-$10mil annual turnover range although there are several clients with significantly higher revenues.
Our client is fully cloud-based and makes good use of modern technologies. The firm’s work environment is likely to appeal to candidates who prefer a quitter office where team members focus on getting things done and going home to spend more time with family and friends and pursue other activities.
If you are into Friday drinks in the office, team pub events and are looking for a noisy office with a busy social and sporting calendar, this is probably not the right environment for you.
The roles
Our client has two roles currently. These opportunities have arisen due to increasing workflow and demand for additional services from new and existing clients.
1. Senior Business Services Accountant with strong reviewing focus
We are looking for a technically well-rounded senior accountant with solid reviewing experience for this role.
This is a newly created role with a view to take some of the reviewing responsibilities in the firm off the director. While there will be the usual preparation of year-end financial statements, and tax compliance, approximately 50-60% of this role will be revieing work files and accounts completed by other team members.
In addition, the role is client facing and requires excellent communication skills
2. Strong Intermediate to Senior Compliance Accountant: hands-on role with strong focus on accounts preparation and tax compliance
This role does not require reviewing experience. It will suit a technically competent compliance accountant with proven client-facing skills. Your focus in this role will be on client accounting and tax compliance. You will be the first point of contact and look after a portfolio of SME clients operating across a wide range of industries.
Both roles report to the managing director and require sound NZ CA experience in business services strong up-to-date tax knowledge.
About the successful candidates
We are looking for a CA or CPA qualified business services accountant with a minimum of 4-5 years current (or recent) NZCA experience. In the field
As per the above description, you will have proven client-servicing and reviewing competencies and experience. You will be confident with your client accounting/financial accounting, management reporting and tax compliance. Naturally, at this level you will have good up-to-date tax knowledge. Excellent written and verbal communication skills are essential for these client-facing roles.
What is on offer
The offer for this role is in the upper end of the range in the CA sector and consists of a generous base salary, kiwi saver, paid CA professional membership fees and onsite car park in this Central Auckland location.
The roles will bring equity directorship potential for the aspiring in the longer term. However, we would be keen to hear from suitably experienced professionals who don't necessarily have equity aspirations. This role can equally be seen as the ideal long-term opportunity for a technically strong accountant looking for a flexible and supportive family-like environment.
