Tō kamupene hou | Your new company

I am working exclusively with a well-established and fast‑growing accounting practice based in Newmarket. Led by an easygoing and highly supportive Director, this firm is known for its warm culture, long-term staff retention, and genuinely kind client base.
The team is small, collaborative, and values strong communication, a positive attitude, and people who enjoy working together in the office each day. Due to ongoing growth, they are now seeking an Intermediate Accountant (or strong Senior) to join their friendly team.

Tō tūranga hou | Your new role

Reporting directly to the Director, you will play a crucial role in delivering high‑quality accounting services across a diverse portfolio. Clients include construction businesses, consultancies, agencies, rental property portfolios, childcare providers, small-to-medium enterprises, and several high-net‑worth individuals.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Preparing financial statements for companies, individuals, trusts, and partnerships
• Preparing GST and income tax returns
• Supporting tax planning and compliance activities
• Providing clients with practical, down-to-earth accounting advice
• Working extensively with Xero and cloud-based systems

(Note: IRD liaison is not required for this role.)

Ngā uara me ngā pūkenga e angitu ai koe | What you'll need to succeed

My client is looking for someone experienced, personable, and confident dealing with clients. Experience and communication skills are the key priorities for this role. You will bring:

• Excellent communication skills and a warm, client-friendly personality

• High attention to detail and strong time management

• CA experience or progression (preferred but not essential)

• A team-focused, proactive, and positive mindset

Ngā hua ka whiwhi i a koe | What you'll get in return

This firm offers a stable, supportive, and people-centered environment where staff tend to stay long-term. You will enjoy:

• A welcoming, easygoing, and supportive team
