Senior Accountant

At BDO, we don’t just crunch numbers. We explore potential.

If you’re an experienced senior accountant who thrives on solving problems, creating clarity and making a real impact — this is your opportunity to step into a role where no two days are the same and where your innovation will help shape the future of business in New Zealand and beyond.

We’re looking for a Senior Accountant who brings more than technical skills.

In this role you will work with clients to plan for sustainable business growth by identifying their business issues, creating a plan and making it happen. We want someone who’s curious, energetic and driven — someone who’s ready to be a catalyst for business growth.

Why This Role Will Excite You

• You’ll work with a diverse portfolio of clients — from entrepreneurs to complex corporate structures to private wealth
• You’ll go way beyond compliance: you’ll help clients innovate, streamline and grow.
• You’ll ace the technical stuff: preparing management reports, financial statements, cash flows and tax return for clients, as well as tax planning and other advisory work.
• You’ll be empowered to take initiative, bring fresh ideas and challenge the status quo. Your team and clients love it when their accountant says, “What if we tried it this way?”
• You’ll have the support of an experienced manager, partner and a collaborative team
• You can spot opportunities and have the ability to upsell clients (or want to learn how to do this) - this is a key skill to learn to advance to partner level.
• You thrive in a fast paced environment where no two days are the same.
  
  

You are:

• A qualified CA with 3+ years' experience in a BAS or similar role.
• A natural problem-solver and forward-thinker with initiative to get things done.
• Excited by complexity and curious about how different businesses tick.
• Ready to take ownership of your client work and contribute ideas that make a measurable difference.
• Someone who values high standards, accuracy and growth — both for yourself and for your clients.
• Commercially aware, confident in your professional knowledge with good people and communication skills.
• Ambitious, with your eye on becoming a partner in the future
  
  

What’s in it for you?

• A culture that celebrates initiative, collaboration and purpose.
• Exposure to dynamic clients and industries that will stretch your thinking.
• Opportunities to influence and shape the way we do business at BDO.
• Competitive remuneration and benefits
• Opportunity to learn and grow next to Senior Leaders who also think like you
• A chance to be part of something meaningful — helping NZ businesses thrive through smart, sustainable advice.
