The Opportunity
You’re ready for more than just processing. You want ownership of the numbers that shape commercial decisions, genuine support as you grow, and a clear runway to leadership. This is that role.

As Corporate Accountant you’ll take end-to-end responsibility for financial reporting and analysis across the business – including a high-volume inventory and rental asset portfolio. You’ll deliver sharp insights that help operations run smarter, while continuously improving processes and building your commercial acumen. Approximately one week of each cycle is dedicated to business partnering, giving you real exposure to the commercial side of the business.
What sets this opportunity apart is the investment in you. You’ll join a tight three-person finance team that doesn’t throw people in the deep end. Your Finance Manager is keen to develop you closely, support you through the learning curve, and actively prepare you to step up into the Finance Manager seat. You’ll be encouraged to make the role your own, challenge the status quo, and drive continuous improvement.

The package is competitive and practical: additional kiwisaver, health insurance, full coverage of CA costs and CPD hours (including access to the PwC Academy), and flexible working that works well with a Wednesday-to-Friday focus. This is a genuine chance to own meaningful work, grow with strong backing, and progress into leadership without leaving the organisation.

The Company
You’ll be joining a leading business with New Zealand footprint and the backing of a global group. The organisation is known for operational excellence, a genuine commitment to health and safety, and a culture that values continuous improvement, resilience, and collaborative teamwork. The finance team is and highly supportive – the perfect environment if you want to stretch, learn and make a visible impact.
The Role You’ll own the financial heartbeat of the business unit. Key accountabilities with prioritise financial accounting duties but will be mixed.
  • Prepare accurate, timely financial reporting and analysis in line with group policies, accounting standards (IFRS) and audit requirements
  • Managing compliance - GST, FBT
  • Manage the financials for the Rental Asset portfolio
  • Own key Balance Sheet reconciliations, with a strong focus on Rental Assets
  • Deliver monthly financial results packs with clear insights against budget and management plan
  • Drive continuous improvement – challenge existing processes, map month-end activities and keep SOPs current and efficient
  • Build strong, constructive relationships with internal stakeholders and external auditors
Your Profile
You’re a commercially minded CA who thrives when given ownership and the chance to improve things. You’ll bring:
  • CA qualification and a tertiary accounting degree, plus at least four years’ experience as a qualified accountant in a commercial environment
  • Practical experience with high-volume inventory, basic fixed assets, FBT, GST and revenue recognition under IFRS 15 (lighter broader tax experience is fine – no group consolidations required)
  • Proven ability to interpret, extract and analyse financial information under the pressure of  month-end (you’re comfortable with a 3–5 day close)
  • A continuous-improvement mindset, resilience under pressure, clear communication skills and the ambition (and potential) to step up into a senior role.
