About Us:

AAT Accounting Services believes in redefining the way work fits in your life. We are a dynamic accounting firm that values extreme flexibility, digitally based remote work, and trust in our team members. If you’re a Senior Accountant (or an exceptionally high performing Intermediate) in a public practice environment working with small businesses and seeking a work environment that respects your time and empowers you to work on your own terms, we would love to hear from you!

We have a strong focus on the property sector, serving hundreds of property investors and real estate agents. But we also have a growing general business division with a lot of highly diverse small business clients.

We are a small team, but we need to grow a little bit. Reckon you can help with that?

Position Overview:

We need a high performing accountant to join our team. You will play an important role in ensuring ongoing accounting and tax compliance work is completed correctly and promptly, while nurturing client relationships in a way that makes them wish they had reason to talk to us more often.

What sets this role apart is the extreme flexibility it offers. As long as you work your hours, you have a lot of scope to determine when and where they’re worked. We don’t need detailed timesheets on most jobs – they’re a bit of a waste of time.

About You: Essential Criteria (Yes, genuinely essential; don’t apply if you don’t have these)

  • Physically resident in New Zealand
  • Have an interest in property investment, sales, and/or development. We don’t want anyone who thinks investors are evil
  • Senior level public practice accounting experience – processing work to a very high level that makes your manager’s review easy, and hopefully a bit of exposure to reviewing simple work yourself
  • Enjoy the freedom of setting your own work hours. This requires strong self-motivation; there’s no micromanaging, but the work still needs to get done.
  • Love working from home, and won’t get too lonely without the usual office noise and distractions.
  • Experience using Xero and Microsoft Office (particularly Excel)
  • Qualification in Accounting (Bachelors Degree or equivalent)
Preferred Criteria (a bonus; if you’ve got any of these make it clear when you apply)
  • Experience in the property sector (landlord, real estate agent, etc)
  • Mastery of Xero (conducting client trainings, etc)
  • CAANZ Membership (Full or Provisional)
  • Expert tax knowledge
  • Physically located near Lake Taupo
Please apply via TradeMe or email to Anthony@AATAccounting.co.nz including your CV. Cover letters aren’t required, but providing some informal background information about yourself and why you’re applying is likely to improve your chances.

There is no phone number listed. This is intentional and detective work to find the number will not improve your chances. Please apply online or via email, as above.
