Management Accountant - Fixed Term

THE OPPORTUNITY

We're on the lookout for a Management Accountant to join our Auckland Head Office on a fixed-term, full time contract, becoming the finance brain behind our McOpCo (company-owned) restaurants. Reporting to the Director of Finance & Development, you'll own the month-end result, keep our numbers honest, and turn the data into insights that genuinely change how our restaurants perform.

This isn't a role where you'll be stuck behind a spreadsheet. You'll be the go-to expert on restaurant profitability and controls – running profit walk-throughs, coaching Restaurant Managers and crew, partnering with our McOpCo Operations Lead on strategy, and managing budgets, projections and CAPEX. One day you're deep in a balance sheet reconciliation, the next you're in a restaurant helping the team understand what drives their bottom line.

THE PERSON

• Degree qualified, with a CA qualification a bonus (but not a deal breaker)
• 2–5 years' corporate experience in a financial role – management accounting or financial analysis
• Advanced Excel skills and confidence across PowerPoint, Word and Outlook
• A sharp analytical mind – you spot the story behind the numbers and can explain it simply
• Strong communication and presentation skills, with the ability to influence at all levels
• A natural relationship builder who's just as comfortable in a restaurant as in a boardroom
• Organised and self-driven, juggling month end, projections and projects without dropping a ball
• Adaptable and solutions-focused – you thrive when priorities shift
• A coaching mindset, happy to upskill others on financial controls and profitability
• Restaurant or retail knowledge (labour scheduling, inventory control, food cost variance, cashflow) would be a real advantage.

What's in it for you?

• A globally recognised brand on your CV and experience you can't get anywhere else
• Real visibility – you'll work directly with our senior leaders and our Sydney-based finance team, with your insights landing in front of decision makers
• Genuine variety – finance, operations, projects, supplier negotiations and training all in one role
• The chance to own a piece of work end to end and leave a real mark on how our restaurants perform
• A supportive, down-to-earth Head Office team that takes the work seriously (but not themselves)
• A competitive salary and a culture built on our values – Serve, Inclusion, Integrity, Community and Family
