Responsibilities

  • Managing a portfolio of clients and preparing tax returns for a variety of entities, including companies, trusts, partnerships, and individuals.
  • Ensuring clients remain compliant with tax obligations while providing clear, practical advice when needed.

  • Liaising directly with clients to resolve queries and provide proactive support.
  • Ensuring compliance with New Zealand tax legislation and reporting requirements.
  • Assisting with tax planning and advisory work where needed.
  • Working closely with our team to continually improve processes and client service.

What we’re looking for

  • Tertiary qualification in Accounting (or working towards CA / CPA).
  • Minimum 2 years’ experience in a public practice environment, preparing tax returns.
  • Strong technical knowledge of NZ tax and accounting principles.
  • Proficiency with accounting software (Xero experience an advantage).
  • Excellent communication skills and confidence in dealing with clients directly.
  • A detail-focused, proactive approach with the ability to manage multiple clients and deadlines.
  • What we offer

  • Competitive salary and flexibility around hours.
  • Exposure to a diverse client base, giving you the chance to broaden your expertise.
  • Professional development and career growth opportunities.
  • A friendly, collaborative team environment in beautiful Lyttelton.
  • About us

    Lyttelsoft Limited is a boutique accounting firm that partners with a wide variety of businesses and individuals. We take pride in really getting to know our clients, tailoring our services to suit their needs, and building relationships that last.

    If you’re an accountant who enjoys working with a mix of clients and wants to be part of a supportive, community-minded team, we’d love to hear from you.
