We need great people with us on this journey – and that includes you. We give you all the training and support you need and with us you’ll be encouraged to take on a world of opportunity, both in New Zealand and overseas.
Are you in your final year of high school or first year of Tertiary education and looking for a role to compliment your accounting studies?

What does the role involve?
- A permanent, full time role with base office hours of 37.5 hours per week
- Flexibility to use up to 7.5 hours of unpaid study leave per week to attend your tertiary classes and paid study leave to prepare for exams and internal assessments
- Taking up to five papers per year so that students can achieve a good balance between work, study and social time. Therefore take a little longer to finish your degree
What’s in it for me?

What would I be doing?
