Job description

About the Company

Our client is a large, established New Zealand organisation with a growing national footprint. You'll be joining a business in growth mode, supporting a significant development pipeline while helping build the financial reporting, forecasting, and performance frameworks that underpin our future success.

The Role

Management Accountant – With a Twist!

Reporting. Forecasting. Projects. Growth.

Most Management Accountant roles revolve around month-end reporting. This one is so much more! You'll still be responsible for the fundamentals, management accounts, budgeting, forecasting, and financial reporting, but you'll also gain exposure to project reporting across a large portfolio of development activity, working closely with project managers and operational leaders to ensure projects stay on track financially.

Key Responsibilities

• Preparing monthly management accounts and financial reporting packs
• Leading budgeting and forecasting processes
• Developing financial models and performance reports
• Producing project reporting including budgets, forecasts, cost tracking, cashflow reporting, and variance analysis
• Supporting project managers with timely and accurate financial information
• Monitoring business performance against budgets and targets
• Developing KPI dashboards and management reporting
• Improving reporting systems, processes, and financial controls
• Heling with year end and audit

Key Skills & Experience Required

• CA/CPA qualified (or equivalent), with a related tertiary qualification
• Strong Management Accounting experience
• Advanced budgeting, forecasting, and reporting capability
• Experience in project reporting, project accounting, construction, infrastructure, property development, or project-based environments would be highly regarded
• Strong Excel
• Financial modelling skills – preferred not essential
• A passion for accuracy, analysis, and continuous improvement

What's in it for you

This is a chance to join a high-growth business with an exciting future, mid-transformation, where the finance function is actively being built out to support national growth and your input on process and reporting will genuinely shape what comes next. There's significant development and capital project work to get involved in, real opportunity to build and improve reporting capability, and it all comes with the lifestyle and career growth that Tauranga offers.

Benefits

• Hybrid working with flexible hours
• Bonus or incentive scheme
• Genuine influence over finance processes during a period of change
