Our client is a well‑established advisory practice with international reach and a reputation for delivering high‑quality commercial and technical support to privately owned businesses, investment groups, and high‑net‑worth clients. They are seeking a Mandarin‑speaking BAS Assistant Manager or Manager to join their growing team in a modern city‑fringe office.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys complex client work, thrives in a collaborative environment, and wants genuine progression opportunities within a firm known for its technical depth and global connectivity.
The Opportunity
In this position, you will take ownership of a varied portfolio, working closely with senior leaders and providing high‑value support to both local and Mandarin‑speaking clients. You’ll be involved in a mix of compliance, advisory, and commercial work, with the scope to shape client relationships and influence outcomes.
Key Responsibilities
- Manage and review financial statements, tax returns, and group reporting for SMEs, investment entities, and high‑net‑worth clients
- Lead and support advisory assignments including budgeting, forecasting, IFRS‑aligned reporting, and commercial analysis
- Build strong, trusted relationships with Mandarin‑speaking clients and stakeholders
- Oversee workflow, support junior team members, and contribute to process improvement
- Work closely with Partners on complex engagements and cross‑border matters
What You’ll Bring
- 5+ years’ BAS experience within a New Zealand CA environment
- Strong technical capability across accounting, tax, and NZ IFRS
- CA/CPA qualified
- Confident communicator in both Mandarin and English
- Enjoys client interaction, problem‑solving, and taking ownership of outcomes
Why This Role Stands Out
- Exposure to sophisticated clients, international structures, and complex advisory work
- Supportive, high‑calibre team with clear pathways for progression
- Modern Auckland city fringe offices with a culture focused on collaboration and continuous learning
- Opportunity to work closely with senior decision‑makers and broaden your commercial skill set
If you’re looking for a role where you can step up, deepen your technical capability, and work with a diverse and commercially interesting client base, we’d like to hear from you.
