Assistant Accountant 

Position filled.

If you are ready to be part of a successful high-growth team with a great team atmosphere, and want a place you can grow and be exposed to all aspects of the business, then this could be just what you’ve been looking for. 

You will have a focus on the detail but want some variety in your day. You will be involved in a broad range of activities, from accounts receivable and payable to general ledger reconciliations from an accounting perspective, to processing our core tax transactions for our clients and receipting their payments and ensuring we are processing their transactions in the manner that they intend. Dealing daily with Inland Revenue and our Customer Service team, the breadth of exposure is incredible and the role can be what you want to make it. As we are always changing things, a portion of this role is going to be working with our development team to come up with new and innovative ideas to help us work smarter (and then testing these to ensure that these can be deployed in the most efficient manner).

You will have exceptionally high standards and be great with the details. You will be a high achiever and love to work at a place that values this.

We are a fast-growing and dynamic company, so when it comes to your own personal development, the sky is the limit! You will be well cared for and supported every step of the way. If you want an environment where you can grow and develop, and find new roles and opportunities in your work, then this is the place for you
