Ko wai mātou | About the Organisation

We're working with a well-established Australasian financial services organisation that continues to evolve and grow through innovation, strong customer focus, and a collaborative culture. With operations across New Zealand and Australia, the business offers a fast-paced environment where people are encouraged to challenge the status quo, improve processes, and make a meaningful impact. The finance team operates in a highly collaborative manner and values curiosity, initiative, and continuous improvement.

Te whiwhinga mahi | The Opportunity

An opportunity has arisen for an experienced Finance Accountant to join the team for an initial six-month engagement. This is a 6-month temporary opportunity and is ideal for someone who can quickly get up to speed and contribute from day one. You'll take ownership of month-end activities across the New Zealand business while supporting broader finance projects, audit requirements, and process improvement initiatives. This is a varied role that combines hands-on accounting responsibilities with opportunities to challenge existing processes and drive efficiencies. The team is currently managing a busy audit period alongside several strategic initiatives, making this an excellent opportunity for a commercially minded accountant who enjoys solving problems and improving the way things are done.
