Job description

Overview

We’re partnering with Goodman, New Zealand’s largest listed property investment entity, to recruit a Graduate Property Accountant to join their highly respected finance team based in Auckland.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who thrives in a collaborative and supportive environment - where your attention to detail, accuracy, and teamwork will be highly valued. You’ll play a key role in ensuring the smooth operation of day-to-day accounting and tax processes, supporting month-end reporting, and maintaining full compliance with company policies.

What You’ll Do

  • Take ownership of accurate recording of all entity transactions - including accruals, prepayments, provisions, and funding - to ensure financial integrity across the business.
  • Prepare daily bank reconciliations and comprehensive balance sheet reconciliations to maintain up-to-date financial records.
  • Prepare and submit Goods and Services Tax (GST) returns in full compliance with statutory requirements.
  • Record all property-related transactions such as straight-line rent adjustments, leasing cost amortisation, leasing incentive amortisation, accruals, prepayments, and operating expense recoveries.
  • Support variance analysis by comparing actual results against budgets and participate in meetings with Property Managers to discuss findings and provide insights.
  • Review new lease setups, renewals, and terminations to ensure all information is accurately captured in the financial systems.
  • Collaborate with the Property Services team to prepare annual property operating expense budgets and assist with the year-end reconciliation process.
  • Manage employee expense claims and credit card transactions, ensuring compliance with company policies and prompt processing.
  • Reconcile corporate credit card statements regularly, following up on outstanding items or discrepancies.
  • Support payment run reviews and authorisations, and assist during acquisitions, disposals, developments, audits, or other transactions as required.

What You Bring

  • A bachelor’s degree in finance, accounting, or a related discipline - providing the essential foundation for success in this role.
  • Intermediate proficiency in Microsoft Office (especially Excel, Word, and PowerPoint) for efficient data analysis and reporting.
  • Proven ability to work collaboratively within a team environment, building strong relationships across departments.
  • Experience using accounting software such as Yardi (preferred), Xero or MYOB.
  • Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines in a dynamic environment.
  • A genuine commitment to core values such as determination, integrity, innovation, and sustainability.
  • The ability to take initiative while remaining considerate of others’ perspectives.
  • Excellent interpersonal and written communication skills for clear reporting, collaboration, and audit documentation.
  • A methodical and organised approach to planning tasks, ensuring accuracy and timeliness in all responsibilities.
  • What Sets Goodman Apart

    Goodman offers an inclusive and growth-focused environment where your professional development is supported working alongside a team of experienced and dedicated finance professionals. Goodman’s culture values collaboration and cross-functional teamwork, ensuring everyone can contribute ideas and share knowledge.
