• Fixed term role through to early 2021
  
• Focus on FA component of project
  
• Nice mix of hands-on and strategic thinking
  

We're after someone who is an expert in fundamental accounting and who can demonstrate a successful track record in this expertise through accuracy, knowledge, and performance.  This goes without saying, and we would see less than five years experience in accounting as not sufficient to support the project requirements.  But over and above this, you will also need a broader view of business, because this role is a pivotal one in ensuring the new system being implemented, meets the technical and reporting requirements going forward.

You will need an intimate understanding of processes and systems that have supported your accounting career to date, plus communications ability so you can engage stakeholders and enunciate both verbally and written, your findings back to the IT technical team so as to maximise what the system will do.

Experience in a change environment is essential as is experience with ERP systems of some scale.  The complexity of what is being done will not suit someone who has small business experience, nor someone who is not fluent in English - or familiar with the NZ commercial environment.

You must be degree qualified and ideally be a member of CAANZ, and it would also be useful if you had exposure to process mapping and the likes of Lean or Kaizen.

This is a fixed term employment engagement that offers a competitive salary and benefits

If this sounds like you, then I'd like to hear from you ASAP.

Please click on “Apply now” link to apply and attach your CV. Also, please ensure you attach a Cover Letter addressing some of the "must haves".

If you'd like a confidential chat prior to applying, then please call Kevin Chappell on 029-5974739

PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU MUST HAVE THE RIGHT TO WORK IN NZ TO APPLY FOR THIS ROLE.  WE ARE ALSO AFTER NZ EXPERIENCE, OR AT A MINIMUM, EXPERIENCE IN A COMPARATIVE COMMERCIAL ENVIRONMENT TO NZ.

• Part time role – 24+ hours/week
  
• Howick based CA practice
• Great job mix of hands on, file review and business advisory
  

Then here it is.

This small, successful and growing CA practice in Howick has a new role that will appeal to BAS Accountants who believe that there is more to a CA practice than just doing the numbers.

The key aspects of the role include:

• Compliance: reviewing completed work files generated by the BAS staff
• Business Development: talking to existing and potential clients about how value-add advisory work can help them in growing their bottom line.  While expanding the practice’s service offering it also allows them to become the clients trusted partner.
  

What skills and experience will get you noticed for this role?

• A feel for the numbers – as well as file review work there could be an opportunity to have your own client compliance work i.e. maintaining your ability to be hands on
• Being CA qualified
• A passion for customer service
• A track record of providing professional and high quality business advice
• BAS experience within a CA environment – you may want to return to a CA practice if you have been away in a corporate role for a while
• Know New Zealand tax
  

The key to your success will be your ability to engage clients so they can see the value in the services the CA practice can bring to them, over and above the pure compliance requirements.

There could be some flexibility about hours – no less than 24 hours/week with there also being an opportunity for you to complete some work online from home.

The Director has developed a strong and settled team and believes in supporting education and professional development.

This is a senior role in the practice and it carries a senior salary.

• 3 month contract that could lead to permanent
  
• Great team environment
  
• Nice mix of duties
  

So if you're a great Administrator or Finance Officer with a broad set of skills, then this could be a great role for you!

We're not after a qualified Accountant, but if you were a recent graduate and you were looking for your first role in the "commercial" world, then this could ideally suit, because potentially, as the organisation is of a decent size, there could be future opportunities beyond this role and the potential for it becoming a permanent role.

Fundamentally, you will be doing the following:

• Some Data Entry and processing
  
• Receipting of funding
  
• Completing invoice processing through a paperless system
  
• The odd bit of Credit Control
  
• Setting up vendors
  

We're after someone who has a high attention to detail and is accurate, systems oriented as this organisation is highly "systemised", understands finance processes and controls, and meets deadlines!

Becuase of the nature of this client organisation, you will need very good communications skills alongside the above technical ones.

If this sounds like you, then please click on the “apply” link to register your interest, and attach your CV and cover letter.

Direct any enquiries to Kevin Chappell on 0295-974739, but only after submitting an application please.

• 6 month contract role
  
• Strong PM "end-to-end" experience essential
• Very strong stakeholder management required!

Most important is top-notch PM experience moving to a SaaS solution with front end business application deployment, and integrations to other existing solutions.

We're after a strong and "heavy-hitting" PM who operates in a planned, organised and structured manner but who also has the ability to engage stakeholders and the broader user environment.  This is an "end to end" project that requires a hands-on approach as well, so proficiency with project management tools such as MS Project is an imperative.  Your responsibility will be to ensure stakeholders are kept informed of progress on the plan and take into account any adjustments needed "on the fly".

A significant component of the project will be directing change due to the "leap frog" approach being taken. So we're after someone who understands that a successful technology implementation is only as good as ensuring the human element, business requirements, technical and technology solutions are completely aligned.

It's often said that "this project will be great on your CV" but in this case, this is true due to the size and complexity of the project.

The term of engagement is flexible, but to get the right person, this client would consider someone short term (6 months or so) to make sure they get on the right track.

If this sounds like you, then I'd like to hear from you ASAP.

• HRIS focus initially
  
• Very strong stakeholder management required!
  

Therefore we need a "project leader" who is the very best and can demonstrate a track record in successful end to end software implementation.

Initial focus will be around HRIS - payroll and then all other HR aspects - so some experience implementing HR systems would be ideal.  However, more important is PM experience in moving to a SaaS solution with front end business application deployment, and integrations to other existing solutions.
