Job description

We are HB Technologies, and our clients appreciate the hard work we put in to deliver service that we believe is second to none. Our close-knit team of IT professionals believe that curiosity and innovation are the keys to transformative change, and we all share a common passion for delivering great results.

As our Finance Manager , you will manage and oversee the day-to-day finance functions for the business, ensuring financial accuracy, compliance, and accessibility to information to support business decisions. You will be able to provide Finance advice to non-financial people in a language that is understandable to them, and you will be versed in working and managing staff in a SME, where people need to wear many hats and have a healthy balance between compliance & rigour, and flexibility.

Key Responsibilities

  • Oversee daily accounting functions : AP / AR, payroll, bank reconciliations, GST, and depreciation.
  • Maintain financial systems, policies, and procedures for accuracy and efficiency.
  • Support staff with finance queries and promote financial literacy across the business.
  • Prepare monthly reports, forecasts, and financial analysis to support decision-making.
  • Monitor KPIs, assist with budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis.
  • Maintain fixed asset register and support accurate year-end processes, payroll, and compliance.
  • Ensure compliance with NZ tax laws, reporting standards, and statutory filings.
  • Liaise with external accountants, insurers, and banks; manage financial risks.
  • Maintain user access controls and stay current with legislation and best practices.

Skills, Knowledge, and Experience

  • Proven experience in a finance or accounting role, ideally within an SME environment.
  • CA or CPA qualification preferred, or equivalent experience.
  • Strong understanding of NZ financial regulations, payroll, and tax compliance.
  • Proficiency in accounting software and Microsoft Excel.
  • Strong communicator with a collaborative, solutions-focused mindset.
  • Self-driven, able to manage priorities and adapt in dynamic environments.
  • Experienced in supporting non-finance staff and promoting financial understanding.
  • Detail-oriented planner with analytical, results-focused thinking.
  • Builds trust, influences positively, and demonstrates confidence and accountability.
  • At HBT, we don't do status quo. We build the tech infrastructure that transforms how businesses operate - and we're damn good at it. We reward progress over perfection, and we back our people with flexibility, feedback, and fun. If you're curious, ambitious, and want to stretch beyond your comfort zone, you'll love it here.

    If your values align with ours, it's time to make the move! Please apply now!

    You must be eligible to work in New Zealand to be considered for this position.
