JOB CENTER for migrant workers

The Opportunity
This isn’t just another Assistant Accountant role – it’s your chance to join a smart, close-knit commercial business with complexity that will keep your skills sharp. The current person is moving up (always a good sign!), and we’re looking for someone who can confidently step in and keep things humming – and ideally spot a few ways to make things even better. If you’re someone who enjoys rolling up their sleeves, owning your work, and being the go-to person who just gets it – you might be exactly who this business is looking for.

The Company
Based in central Wellington, this small but complex commercial business packs a punch. With a team that values initiative, supports each other, and genuinely enjoys what they do, it’s no wonder staff stick around. The culture is warm, grounded, and professional – you’ll be encouraged to ask questions, explore new ideas, and continuously grow. You’ll be working under an exceptional manager with a reputation for mentorship and developing talent – someone who leads with trust and clarity.

The Role
This role covers a bit of everything – perfect for someone who likes variety and being across the detail. You’ll be trusted with the day-to-day essentials but also get involved in process improvements and system testing. Responsibilities include:
Preparing bank journals and monthly accounting tasks
Fixed asset register management
GST, FBT and foreign currency exposure
Tax compliance and reporting
Accounts Payable and related reconciliations
Supporting process improvement initiatives
Occasional treasury and reporting support
You won’t be micromanaged, but you’ll be supported – and your curiosity and professional drive will be appreciated and rewarded.

You
You're someone who knows your way around a accounting and takes pride in getting the details right. You’ve probably got around 3+ years of accounting experience and maybe you’re working toward your CA – or perhaps you've already earned your stripes and want a role that fits your lifestyle without compromising on challenge or contribution. You’re proactive, personable, professional, and you definitely know the difference between a debit and a credit.
You’ll bring:
A solid grounding in accounting principles (and a soft spot for reconciling things properly)
A mindset that asks “how can we do this better?” and follows through
The maturity to take initiative and the humility to ask when you don’t know
A sense of humour, a collaborative spirit, and a desire to belong to a team that works hard but laughs often
