As a result of the diverse nature of the work you will often find yourself working with our other functions (tax, corporate finance, risk advisory, and consulting). You will develop effective business relationships, and both lead and manage teams.

You will have the opportunity to genuinely help our clients and make a real contribution as we grow by bringing your point of view and energy to the team. 
 
Enough about us, let’s talk about you. You are:

·                 Able to leverage and develope your technical accounting skills, along with your knowledge or what “good” looks like for a finance function.
·                 An excellent team player with strong project management, communication and stakeholder management skills. 
In addition, you will need:
·         Full membership of CAANZ (or equivalent) with 3+ years’ experience in NZ or globally.
·         Proven ability to manage projects and solve problems in the finance world – this could be through experience within Audit (ideally Big 4 or large firm experience), other professional service experience, or in industry.
·         Good technical accounting skills, and knowledge of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and Public Benefit Entity International Public Sector Accounting Standards (PBE IPSAS).
·         To be self-motivated, results driven & client oriented.
