Accounting Senior – Auckland

  • Energised and ready to go
  • Thinking outside of the box
  • Entrepreneurial and drive for excellence

This optimises our client who seeks a like-minded Senior Accountant to join their team. 

You will be working closely with Managers and Partners on lots of interesting assignments. As you operate at a senior level, accounting needs are priority but what makes this opportunity so standout is the firm’s approach to providing service and care.

You will be responsible to look after a portfolio of clients and ensure their wellbeing and assist them with performance aspects. You will be able to think on the spot, as well as outside of the square; not stuck in the backroom doing accounts! Plenty of variety and lots of client contact.

The criteria is simple – someone who can slot in and go and see clients from day one!

The successful candidate needs at least 5-6 years current CA experience. CA qualification is not the driver, but exposure to a wide range of accounting issues is vital, ideally an interest in tax.

From the nature of this role, you will appreciate the importance of interpersonal and communication skills. Likewise, being a positive team player is also an attribute.

Remuneration will certainly appeal.
