  • Experience with Xero, MYOB and IRD
  • Be confident communicating with clients, organised and detail focused
  • Have a friendly, approachable personality and enjoy being part of a smaller team

This is a very hands on role, suited to someone who enjoys working independently, getting stuck into a variety of tasks, and providing support to management when needed. You’ll be:

  • Preparing financial statements and income tax returns
  • Preparing GST, FBT and Rental tax returns
  • Managing day to day client accounting requirements
  • Maintaining client tax compliance with IRD
  • Assisting with a variety of client queries and ad hoc projects
  • Working alongside the wider accounting team to meet deadlines
  • Supporting the team with workflow and ensuring jobs are progressing smoothly

If you’re looking for a stable long-term role with a great team and the opportunity to continue developing your accounting career, I’d love to hear from you. Contact Bec at Fred today for a confidential call on 022 537 6576.
