About the Organisation
Think big, people-focused, and community-driven. This is a large organisation with impact across New Zealand but don’t let the size fool you, the team vibe is friendly, down-to-earth, and supportive. You’ll be joining a finance crew that works hard, helps each other out, and makes sure to celebrate the wins along the way.

About the Opportunity:
Ready to take the next step in your accounting career? We’re looking for an Assistant Accountant who’s had a few solid years’ experience and is keen to step into a role with variety, challenge, and room to grow.

This is not your average number-crunching job: You’ll get exposure across month-end, reporting, reconciliations, banking, treasury, and audit support, with the chance to cross-train and build a genuine understanding of how a finance function operates end-to-end.

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Owning reconciliations and helping keep the numbers spot-on
  • Supporting month-end processes, journals, and balance sheet reviews
  • Assisting with financial reporting, budgets, and variance analysis
  • Getting stuck into banking, cashflow, and credit card processing
  • Being the go-to support for auditors and reporting requirements
  • Backing up team members and pitching in across finance ops when needed

About You
You’re detail-focused but not afraid to ask questions, solve problems, and look for smarter ways to get things done. With around 3 years’ accounting experience under your belt, you’re confident with reconciliations, ERP systems, and Excel, and now you’re ready for more variety, ownership, and responsibility.

We’re looking for someone who is:

  • Sharp with numbers and detail (accuracy is your thing)
  • Comfortable with reconciliations, month-end, and reporting
  • Tech-savvy (Excel skills and ERP experience are a must)
  • Organised, adaptable, and up for learning new things
  • A strong communicator who enjoys being part of a team

Why You’ll Love It

  • Exposure across all areas of finance (not just one corner of it!)
  • South Auckland location with free car parking
  • Christmas close-down enjoy the break with 3 paid days!
  • Supportive, down-to-earth team (no egos here!)
  • Real career growth: Your development matters!

Ready to step up?
If you’re detail-savvy, love variety, and want to grow your career in a supportive team, we’d love to hear from you.
