About You To be successful in this role, you’ll bring:

• A relevant New Zealand accounting qualification.
• Previous experience within a finance or accounting function.
• Strong understanding of financial processes, general ledger structures, month-end reporting, reconciliations, accruals, and management reporting.
• Exposure to ERP, accounting, or business systems.
• Experience supporting or participating in ERP implementations, accounting system deployments, business transformation, or process improvement initiatives.
• Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills.
• Client-facing experience within consulting, implementation, advisory, or customer-focused environments.
• A genuine interest in technology, business systems, and continuous improvement.
• A proactive, solutions-focused approach and strong problem-solving capability.

What’s In It For You?

• Develop highly sought-after ERP consulting and implementation expertise.
• Work across a diverse range of industries and client environments.
• Gain exposure to business transformation and technology projects.
• Build your consulting, facilitation, and stakeholder management skills.
• Receive ongoing mentoring, training, and professional development.
