Job description

Are you an experienced finance professional who enjoys variety, takes pride in accuracy and likes having ownership of your work?

We are looking for a capable and organised Accountant to join our Finance team. Reporting to the Finance Lead, you will be responsible for supporting the day-to-day financial operations of our organisation, ensuring our financial processes are accurate, efficient and completed within required timeframes.

This is a varied, hands-on role that combines core accounting responsibilities with healthcare-specific financial administration, offering the opportunity to work across a broad range of financial functions.

About the role

You will take ownership of a range of financial activities, including:

Accounts Payable: Managing supplier invoices, payment schedules, supplier reconciliations and payment queries.

Locum Payments: Processing doctor and healthcare professional payments, verifying timesheets, checking agreed rates and reconciling invoices.

Payroll Administration: Supporting accurate and timely payroll processing and ensuring compliance with relevant NZ payroll requirements.

ACC Claims: Managing ACC claim administration, monitoring remittances, reconciling payments and following up outstanding or declined claims.

Immunisation & GMS Claims: Preparing and submitting claims, monitoring funding received, investigating discrepancies and ensuring claims are processed within required deadlines.

Banking & Reconciliations: Managing banking activities, completing regular bank reconciliations and investigating discrepancies.

Financial Reporting: Assisting with monthly management accounts, general ledger maintenance, budgeting, forecasting and year-end processes.

Continuous Improvement: Identifying opportunities to strengthen financial processes, improve accuracy and maintain effective internal controls.

About you

You will be someone who is confident working across multiple financial functions, comfortable managing competing priorities and able to work independently while contributing positively to a wider team.

Ideally, you will bring:

A relevant accounting qualification or equivalent practical experience.

Previous experience in an accounting, bookkeeping or finance administration role.

Experience with accounts payable and payroll processing.

A sound understanding of New Zealand payroll, PAYE and GST requirements.

Strong reconciliation, analytical and numerical skills.

Proficiency in accounting software, payroll systems and Microsoft Excel.

Excellent attention to detail and a commitment to accuracy.

Strong organisational and time-management skills.

The ability to investigate and resolve discrepancies and meet deadlines.

A high level of integrity, professionalism and discretion.

Experience with healthcare-related financial processes, including ACC, GMS and immunisation claims, would be an advantage but is not essential.

We believe in supporting our people and creating a positive, flexible working environment. When you join our team, you'll enjoy:

Health Insurance: Access to health insurance benefits after three months of employment.

Competitive Remuneration

Professional Development: Opportunities to develop your skills, grow professionally and further your career.

Free On-site Parking: Convenient, free parking available at our workplace.

Flexibility: Flexibility around working hours and the opportunity to work from different locations, where practical and agreed.

Supportive Environment: Be part of a collaborative team where your contribution is valued and you have the opportunity to make a meaningful difference.

We understand the importance of work-life balance and are committed to creating an environment where our people feel supported, valued and able to do their best work.
