Love having ownership of the numbers? Looking for a role where you can do more than just produce reports?

We're looking for an experienced, hands-on Accountant to take ownership of the finance function for an established New Zealand wholesale and distribution business.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys variety, works confidently across the full accounting cycle and wants to be genuinely involved in how a business operates.

You'll be part of a small, close-knit Hamilton team, working directly with the General Manager and supported by an Australian-based Group CFO.

What's the opportunity?
You'll be the go-to person for all things finance in New Zealand, balancing day-to-day accounting with reporting, forecasting and commercial support.

Your responsibilities will include:
  • Taking ownership of the full accounting function, including month-end, GL, AP, AR and reconciliations.
  • Preparing management reports, financial statements and supporting statutory compliance.
  • Managing cashflow, budgets, forecasting and financial controls.
  • Handling foreign currency transactions, intercompany accounts and inventory accounting.
  • Working closely with the GM and Group CFO to improve processes, reporting and business performance.
You'll have the autonomy to manage your workload, solve problems and make a real contribution to the business.

What we're looking for
You'll be an experienced Accountant who knows their debits from their credits and is equally comfortable getting into the detail or looking at the bigger picture.

Ideally, you'll bring:
  • A relevant accounting qualification with 5+ years' experience, or 10+ years in a similar hands-on role.
  • Strong technical accounting skills, including reporting, reconciliations and foreign currency transactions.
  • Advanced Excel skills and confidence working with accounting systems. Pronto ERP experience would be an advantage.
  • A practical, organised approach with excellent communication skills.
  • A curious mindset, strong attention to detail and a willingness to roll up your sleeves.
Why consider this role?
If you're tired of being just another number in a large finance team, this could be the change you're looking for.

You'll enjoy genuine ownership, direct access to decision-makers and the opportunity to work across all aspects of finance in an established international business.
