Job Description

We're working with a fast growing, global drinks company that’s absolutely smashing it in NZ, the UK, and the US. They’ve won awards, have a great product, and are scaling fast. Think fast paced, innovative, constantly evolving and they need someone sharp to join their finance team.

They’re on the hunt for an Assistant Accountant to support their Finance Manager, across all things numbers. This is a newly created role, so there's loads of room to make it your own, learn the ropes, and grow with the business.

What the role actually looks like:

• Loading and coding supplier invoices across NZ, UK, and US entities

• Setting up supplier payments for approval

• Managing vendor records (including W9s for US)

• Bank and credit card reconciliations (daily/weekly)

• Chasing up international claims and overdue accounts

• Matching inventory bills to POs using Unleashed

• Reconciling data between Unleashed, Xero, and SPS orders

• Supporting month end close with journals, fixed assets, balance sheet reconciliations and inventory

• Pulling together management reporting

• Getting involved in GST, VAT, US sales tax returns

• Operating within Xero, Unleashed, and other integrated systems

There’s a tiny bit of payroll (monthly NZ and mostly automated US), but it’s a small piece of the puzzle.

What they’re looking for:

Someone sharp, hungry, and ready to get stuck in. You’ll need to be confident working independently, but there’s a solid team around you and heaps of support when you need it.

Ideally, you're coming from a start up, scale up, or fast paced business, or maybe you’ve grown up around business. You get the hustle and you’re comfortable wearing multiple hats.

Must haves:

• Strong attention to detail and data accuracy

• Solid communication

• Great with systems - Xero experience is a big win

• Comfortable working across multiple countries and systems

• Proactive, solutions focused, and naturally curious

Nice-to-haves:

• Exposure to multi entity finance environments

• Experience in FMCG, e-comm, or another high volume industry

Why it’s a great move:

• Competitive base salary

• Office based in Parnell and parking provided

• Transparent culture, collaborative team, and plenty of opportunity for learning

• You’ll learn everything about how a business runs, from systems to supply chain

This is perfect for someone who wants to do more than just tick boxes and process invoices. If you’re looking to work in a business where you can have a real impact, grow your skills quickly, and get exposure to the inner workings of a high performing start up, this is the one. If this sounds like something you’d be keen to explore, I’d love to hear from you. Send through your CV and we can have a confidential chat to see if it’s the right fit for you.
