Chartered Accountant - 6 month contract
Wellington Central
Are you a Chartered Accountant who’s not just great with numbers but also understands what it means to support a team through change? We’re looking for a calm, steady financial professional to help our client with accounting, reporting, and budgeting - someone who’s thoughtful, supportive, and focused on keeping things running smoothly.
It's a six month contract while our client re-defines their operational function and their future requirements. It's a corporate, membership environment that is passionate about supporting businesses to thrive. They value their people, collaboration, professionalism and courtesy in their work environment.
What You’ll Be Doing
Preparing clear, accurate monthly accounts, annual financial statements, and audit documents.
Providing helpful variance analysis that guides decision-making without adding pressure.
Ensuring compliance with accounting standards, tax rules, and legal requirements.
Assisting with budgets and forecasts, while keeping an eye on how they're tracking against them.
Maintaining and improving financial systems and processes in a way that works for everyone.
Offering gentle guidance and mentoring to a finance administrator to build their confidence and skills.
Preparing reports and providing financial insights for leadership and the Board.
Helping out with financial analysis on commercial projects and strategic initiatives.
What We’re Looking For
A Chartered Accountant (CA ANZ or equivalent) who brings both expertise and empathy.
Experience in financial reporting, budgeting, and forecasting - with a steady, detail-focused approach.
Someone who values supporting others and building capability quietly and effectively.
A clear communicator who can explain numbers in a straightforward, non-intimidating way.
Comfortable working with Xero, iPayroll, ApprovalMax, CRM tools, and Power BI (or similar).
A self-starter who can manage their workload independently and thoughtfully in a part-time role.
Someone who thrives in a changing environment.
Why You’ll Love This Role
You’ll join a team going through some change, where your steady hand and supportive nature will be truly appreciated. This is a chance to make a meaningful difference while working part-time in a flexible, friendly environment.
Please note: only applicants with the legal right to work in New Zealand will be considered for this role.
