Senior Accountant

Role Description

We're hiring a Senior Accountant to take ownership of annual accounts and tax returns for our New Zealand client base. This is a delivery role at its core: technically strong, efficient, and built for someone who takes real pride in getting quality work done and out the door.

You'll be working from anywhere, so we're looking for someone who's genuinely motivated by the work itself — the kind of person who doesn't need to be watched to be productive, and who gets satisfaction from a clean, review-ready file and a job finished on time and on budget.

What you'll be doing

• Preparing annual financial statements and income tax returns for NZ clients — companies, trusts, partnerships and sole traders.
• Owning the full compliance cycle from trial balance to filed return, working accurately and at pace.
• Ensuring files stand on their own without explanation; if it isn't documented, it isn't done.
• Spotting tax efficiencies and flagging anything that doesn't make sense before it becomes a problem.

Who you are

• Strong, proven technical ability in annual accounts and tax returns, with a solid track record in practice.
• Willingness to learn NZ tax and reporting quickly.
• Ability to work quickly without cutting corners.
• Self-driven and suited to remote work.

Qualifications

• Real practice accounting experience with a track record.
• Strong, hands-on technical ability in annual accounts and tax returns in your own jurisdiction.
• Adaptability to learn NZ tax and reporting quickly.
• High efficiency and genuine ownership of your workload.
• Reliable home office setup and discipline to manage your own workload and hit your budgets.
• Experience with Xero and Karbon is a strong advantage.

Benefits

• Join a team that does the work properly and backs each other.
• Result-driven environment that cares about efficiency.
• Fully remote and flexible work arrangements.
• Opportunity to learn a new tax system to a high standard.
