Accounting Technician

Are you a detail-oriented finance professional looking for a broad, hands-on accounting role with genuine variety?
  
We are looking for an experienced Assistant Accountant to join an established, values-driven organisation based in Wellington South. This is a permanent part-time opportunity working 25 hours per week and would suit someone who enjoys being involved across the finance function rather than focusing on just one area.
  
Reporting to the Finance Manager, you will play an important role in the day-to-day financial operations of the organisation, helping to ensure financial information is accurate, timely and well maintained.
  
Alongside transactional accounting, you will have exposure to reporting, budgeting and forecasting, financial analysis, systems and process improvements. You'll work closely with people across the organisation, making this a great opportunity for someone who enjoys combining strong technical accounting skills with a practical and collaborative approach.
  
Key Responsibilities
Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing and maintaining accounts payable and accounts receivable
• Completing regular bank reconciliations and supporting cashflow monitoring
• Preparing financial reports, reconciliations and supporting schedules
• Assisting with month-end and year-end processes and management reporting to support the accountant and finance manager
• Maintaining accurate general ledger and financial records
• Maintaining the fixed asset register and supporting asset verification
• Assisting with audit, GST and other compliance requirements

 
About You
You will be an experienced accounting professional who is comfortable working independently while also being part of a wider team.
  
To be successful, you will ideally bring:

• At least 3 years' experience in an accounting or finance position
• A strong understanding of accounting principles and best practice
• Experience across accounts payable, accounts receivable and reconciliations
• Good exposure to month-end processes and financial reporting
• Experience using Xero is essential
• Intermediate to advanced Microsoft Excel skills
• Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities
• Excellent attention to detail and accuracy
• A collaborative, practical and solutions-focused approach

If you're an experienced Assistant Accountant looking for a rewarding part-time position where you can use your skills across a genuinely varied finance role, we'd love to hear from you.
