About the Role
We’re recruiting an experienced Bookkeeper / Accounts Administrator to join a well-established Auckland construction business with more than 30 years of history behind it.

You’ll take ownership of accounts administration, a high volume of invoicing each month and payroll for 55 employees, making this a great opportunity for someone who enjoys variety, responsibility and being an integral part of a close-knit team.

The role is predominantly office-based, although there may be some flexibility for the right person over time.
