  • Drive Change & Fresh Thinking
  • Lead Reporting for a Trans-Tasman Business
  • Enjoy Variety, Flexibility and Real Development Opportunities

We’re on the lookout for a Senior Financial Accountant who’s passionate about continuous improvement, confident challenging the status quo, and excited to bring fresh ideas and energy to an established, collaborative finance team. You'll join a team that supports a successful Trans-Tasman business — and you’ll be a key player in improving month-end processes, delivering accurate financial reports, and helping to shape future sustainability reporting.

Key Responsibilities

  • Help develop and roll out sustainability reporting – a great opportunity to grow your experience in this space
  • Work across NZ and Australia teams, supporting audits, compliance, and system improvements
  • Lead the preparation of AU subsidiary financial statements and support the preparation of Group financial statements
  • Support the AU Tax Manager with all statutory requirements
  • Be a go-to person for questions, ideas, and support – especially for more junior team members

What We’re Looking For

  • A qualified Accountant (CA or similar) with a solid foundation in financial reporting or audit
  • A natural change agent - curious, proactive, and always seeking smarter ways to do things
  • Able to manage complexity and communicate clearly with stakeholders
  • Comfortable working with people across teams and locations
  • Bonus points if you’ve worked with Australian standards before

What’s On Offer

  • Plenty of variety and the chance to work across both NZ and Aussie teams
  • Flexible working options, wellbeing perks, and a culture that values growth
  • Opportunity to shape and improve finance practices across the business
  • Real career development including building your expertise in sustainability reporting
  • Cross-border exposure and the chance for travel to Australia

If you’re looking for a role where you can really make a difference and bring your ideas to life we’d love to hear from you.
