About Comply Pro

Comply Pro is one of New Zealand's fastest-growing SaaS companies. Our awesome apps Safe Food Pro and Site App Pro are used by over 4,000 businesses and over 50,000 users across the globe. We are a dynamic team based in Auckland and we are looking for a Assistant Accountant to join our team.

We believe in information transparency, there is no closeted C suite & no inner circle: our business is flat by design. We want everyone to act like it's their own business, to think like founders, to act like entrepreneurs. Focusing our attention on problem-solving for our customers, creating the delight of engagement that will drive our company to be one of NZ’s most successful SaaS companies.

We trust our people, we empower our people and we know that amazing people will do amazing work. We celebrate diversity and we embrace work-life balance. Everyone in our company gets five weeks' annual leave for a reason. Our people are actively encouraged to take time off, to develop full and rich lives outside of work. Whether we are working from home, in the office, or on the road, we know that to succeed we must use the latest technology. We use the latest tools and encourage the best work practices.

Role Description

The Assistant Accountant is a full-time, on-site role based in Auckland, reporting to the Finance Manager. This role owns the day-to-day finance operations of the business, including the full accounts receivable and accounts payable cycles, subscription billing and collections, payroll support, and month-end reconciliations. The Assistant Accountant prepares accurate financial records and supporting schedules, assists with balance-sheet reconciliations and reporting, and helps maintain the internal controls behind a fast-growing, multi-entity SaaS business.

The role also supports Comply Pro's small hardware division (order dispatch, reconciliation and stock count), liaises with internal teams and customers to resolve billing and account queries, and contributes ideas for improving and automating finance processes.

This is a genuine growth opportunity: you'll work closely with the Finance Manager with real ownership over your processes, and real scope to broaden your skills as the business scales.

Qualifications

• 3-5 years' experience in a broad finance, Assistant Accountant, or similar role, with a proven track record of solving problems independently
• Experience in a SaaS or subscription-billing business is highly valued, particularly with recurring billing, renewals and revenue reconciliations
• Practical experience across accounts payable, accounts receivable, and bank/payment-platform reconciliations
• Experience processing payroll and working with Xero or a similar accounting system
• Strong Excel or Google Sheets skills and excellent attention to detail
• Confident communicator, comfortable liaising with customers, suppliers and internal stakeholders
• A proactive, ownership-minded approach — comfortable in a small, lean finance team rather than a large team with layers of review
• CA/CPA qualification (or working towards one) is an advantage but not required

What we offer

This role is based in our Auckland office and is a hybrid, office-primary role (typically WFH one day per week). This is set up for strong connection and collaboration, while giving you the autonomy to manage your work effectively.

• Competitive rewards: Including attractive salary + commission and access to Comply Pros Employee Share Opportunity Program.
• Flexibility where it matters: Hybrid work model that focuses on impact
• Perks: Five weeks of annual leave, paid parental and maternity leave.
• Personal development: Mentoring, training and growth opportunities as we scale
