• Strategic leadership role - rare opportunity outside mainstream accounting firms
• Head of Tax for New Zealand - pivotal role within a growing brand
• This role is exclusive to SCI and is not advertised or available anywhere else..

 

SCI works exclusively with the leading small, medium and large professional services/chartered accounting firms and commercial businesses in New Zealand and internationally. 

All career opportunities at executive level available through SCI are exclusive and are not available or advertised anywhere else.

Our first-hand experience in the CA sector in New Zealand and more than 18 years leading recruitment and search expertise allow us to provide both job seekers and employers with a unique pool of exclusive roles and top-notch candidates respectively. 

We have a new opportunity with one of our exclusive clients in Auckland. This can only be described as 'a very different proposition' in the current job market. 

Our search brief is for a CA qualified Senior Manager Associate Director to Director with well-developed technical competencies in all aspects of Tax. While some experience in client accounting and business advisory would be beneficial, the more important requirement for this key leadership role is for sound background and extensive experience in Tax.

This is a newly created role, part of our client's national senior management. Therefore, we are looking for a high-calibre senior managerial professional with:

• a successful track record in people leadership and client relationship management, and
• well-rounded technical expertise in tax developed in the context of a sizeable professional services firm (preferably a Big 4 or a larger mid-tier organisation).

This is a salaried director role that will provide you with an attractive remuneration package, which consist of a generous base salary and short and long-term incentives based on well-defined performance criteria. 

We are looking for an articulate, technically competent leader with: 

• Solid technical experience in all aspects of tax compliance and advisory 
• Proven people management/leadership experience
• Proven client relationship management experience
• Ability to capitalise on existing and new opportunities to cross sell and develop new services

Some of the main points on our client's brief for this role include but are not limited to: 

• Implementing strategies to improve systems and processes
• High-level planning and project management
• Participating in business planning (forecasting and budgeting)
• Providing strategic NZ and international tax planning advice and solutions to a wide range of sizeable SME clients
• Ensure communications with clients are managed and clients are informed of actions to meet expectations
• Attending regular meetings with Clients' senior management
• Providing ad hoc reports and analysis as determined by clients or management
• Identifying opportunities with new and existing clients
• Building and managing meaningful long-term relationships with clients
• Various other ad hoc operational and strategic duties and responsibilities, as and when required..

Please note that, while commercial experience at some point in your career is of interest to our client, ideally, we are looking for solid current or reasonably recent experience in a sizeable CA firm in New Zealand. 

This role is exclusive to SCI and is not available or advertised anywhere else.
