Our people are our greatest asset and we empower their career growth and skill development. We support their health and wellbeing and foster an inclusive and diverse culture, celebrating what makes us unique and enabling high performance.

Job Description

Are you an experienced accounting professional ready to take the next step in your career? We are seeking a Senior Accountant to lead financial operations and drive strategic decision-making across our New Zealand business units. This is more than just a numbers role, it’s a leadership opportunity to shape financial outcomes and mentor a small team.

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Leadership & Impact : Manage two direct reports and collaborate across departments to align financial goals with business strategy.
  • Strategic Insight : Provide critical financial analysis and commentary to optimise performance and support executive decision-making.
  • Innovation & Improvement : Be a key player in enhancing systems, processes, and reporting tools to elevate operational efficiency.
  • Diverse Scope : From financial reporting and budgeting to audits, payroll, and systems development, this role offers variety and challenge.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead month-end processes, revenue recognition reviews, and financial reporting
  • Deliver insightful analysis and recommendations to senior stakeholders across APAC and globally.
  • Oversee balance sheet reconciliations, aged debt reviews, and general ledger integrity.
  • Drive budgeting, forecasting, and financial modelling to support strategic planning.
  • Support internal and external audits, including trust account compliance and year-end reporting.
  • Champion system optimisation and process improvements
  • Supervise, mentor, and develop direct reports to enhance their skills and foster a collaborative team environment
  • Qualifications

  • Proven experience in a senior accounting role, ideally within a complex, multi-entity environment.
  • Strong leadership and mentoring capabilities.
  • Expertise in financial systems (e.g., SUN, PAW, TM1) and a passion for continuous improvement.
  • Exceptional analytical, communication, and stakeholder engagement skills.
  • CA / CPA qualification (or equivalent) preferred.
  • What we offer

  • Wellbeing benefits and initiatives
  • Opportunities to advance your business, technology, and creative skills to achieve your professional goals
  • Best-in-class waterfront premises with access to multi-modal transport
  • An inclusive and social culture with regular team events
  • Additional Information

    Colliers is an inclusive employer, ​where different perspectives, cultures, and backgrounds are celebrated. Colliers provides equal opportunity in all employment practices. We recruit and retain the best people to uphold our enterprising culture and lead our industry into the future.

    If you're interested in being part of an enterprising culture that empowers you to do your best work, we look forward to receiving your application.
