• Build trusted client relationships and exceed your clients’ expectations
• Review work and assist with mentoring and developing junior team members

Moore Markhams Auckland is an independently owned leading firm in the Moore Global chartered accountancy and business advisory network.

That said, work life balance is important to us too. We care about our people, their wellbeing and their long-term success. Many of our partners started with us as graduates – testament to how we develop and nurture our home-grown talent.

You bring 4+ years’ NZ CA experience with strong reporting capability and solid experience across BAS, tax advisory and management reporting. You have sound working knowledge of income tax, GST and FBT and are comfortable navigating the IRD system. With a genuine interest in business, you enjoy delivering practical, commercial advice and confidently managing client relationships. You’re a clear, confident communicator and have a knack for translating complex information for both clients and colleagues. You are a collaborative team player with a growth mindset and thrive in a high-performing culture.
