About the firm
Our client is a high-profile chartered accounting and business advisory firm with long history in the New Zealand market. The firm offers the full range of accounting, assurance, tax and business advisory services to a broad spectrum of clients.
The firm's clients vary widely and many of them are subsidiaries of substantial overseas entities with multi-million-dollar turnover. Current team dynamics and growth have created the need for an assistant manager to join one of the firm’s business services teams on Auckland's North Shore.
Our client's culture can best be described as structured and professional, yet very flexible and laid back. The partners are approachable, supportive and down-to-earth and have based the success of their firm on investing in their people and keeping up with modern technology and new trends in the accounting profession. They like spending time with the team and not only in the office but also at various social and sporting events.
