Job description

Relocation opportunity! We’re looking for an experienced accountant who’s ready to step up into a role that blends technical expertise with business leadership. This is a unique opportunity to join a well known Accounting firm in Richmond, Nelson, where you’ll play a pivotal role in both client delivery and running the day-to-day of the local firm.

About the role

As Senior Accountant / Business Manager, you’ll split your time between :

  • Accounting and Advisory (50%) – producing and reviewing accounts, providing taxation advice, and liaising with clients in a public practise setting.
  • Practice Management (50%) – overseeing workflow allocation, invoicing, staff management, and supporting the smooth running of the office (with additional support from our Auckland head office).

You’ll lead a small, close-knit team of 4 (including yourself), with 2 accountants and 1 administrator reporting directly to you.

About you

We’re seeking someone who is confident across both accounting and people leadership. To succeed in this role, you’ll bring :

  • Minimum 3+ years’ experience in an accounting practice environment.
  • Strong background in taxation advisory, accounts preparation, and client engagement.
  • Proven ability to review work, allocate workflow, and manage a small team.
  • CA or equivalent qualification is desirable but not essential – expired or past CAANZ membership will still be considered where experience is relevant.
  • Why join?

  • The autonomy to run the local office while still having support from a larger head office.
  • A varied role that balances client‑facing technical work with leadership and practice management.
  • A supportive and professional team environment, where your skills will make an immediate impact.
  • The chance to build strong relationships with local businesses in the Nelson region.
  • How to apply

    If you’re ready to take on a role where your accounting expertise and leadership skills will both shine, we’d love to hear from you.

    Apply now with your CV – applications will be reviewed as they come in.
