Comments

My candidate is a highly skilled and multi talented transactional finance professional and bookkeeper, with a good level of knowledge across different industry types including financial services, logistics, retail and wholesale, and with a bookkeeping firm which has a large variety of client types. This – matched with their international experience in and outside of New Zealand – has created a very versatile, confident and competent individual who is an expert at her skill level, and highly capable of taking on new responsibilities and skills. In fact, they enjoy that part of their job with great effect.

Currently in a fixed term contract, my candidate is seeking a permanent role to place a good long tenure in and preferably in Dunedin as they prefer an in office working environment rather than hybrid or remote.
