A well-established organisation with a strong innovation focus is looking for a Senior Tax Accountant to join its Financial Reporting and Tax team. You will be the right hand to the Financial Reporting and Tax Manager. You will own the compliance cycle and give the business practical advice on its deals. You will also be trusted to make the tax function run better.

This role suits a technically strong tax accountant who wants more than compliance. You will work with business divisions on real transactions, and you will have a say in how things get done.

What you'll be doing
  • Preparing provisional tax calculations and making sure payments are made on time
  • Planning, assigning, reviewing and refining year-end tax calculations and annual returns
  • Reviewing GST, FBT, WT and NRWT returns prepared by other members of the accounting team
  • Giving timely, commercially minded tax advice on contracts, investments, restructures and intercompany activity
  • Leading improvements to tax compliance workflows and documentation,
  • Keeping approvals and documentation audit-ready
  • Staying across tax changes and best practice
What you'll bring
  • A tertiary qualification in Accounting or Commerce, and CA or CPA membership
  • 4+ years' relevant tax experience, ideally in a corporate and/or professional services environment
  • Strong knowledge of New Zealand income tax, GST, FBT and withholding taxes
  • Experience across tax compliance, advisory and business transaction support
  • Sharp analytical skills, good commercial judgement and attention to detail
  • The ability to explain technical tax matters in plain business language
  • Strong planning skills, and the ability to juggle competing priorities and statutory deadlines
  • Advanced Excel skill
This is a broad role that combines compliance, advisory and process improvement that offers real exposure to business decision-making, not just year-end returns.  You will be working with a collaborative finance team, with a manager who backs you to lead.
