The Role:

An opportunity has arisen in our organisation for an experienced Finance Administrator

The purpose of this position is to ensure that the company’s daily accounting functions run accurately and effectively, including keeping financial records updated, preparing reports and reconciling bank statements.

You will also run accounting software programs (Propella) to process business transactions such as accounts payable and receivable, disbursements, expenses and receipts.

This is an office-based role, in Wairau Valley Auckland. We are open to reduced hours to suit the right candidate if a 40 hour week role doesn’t suit, but the role will be office based 5 days per week (with the option of reduced hours each day – e.g. 9 - 3pm).

Key Responsibilities:

  • Reconcile customer payments and manage accounts receivable and payable processes

  • Prepare and distribute debtor statements and overdue reports; follow up on outstanding accounts

  • Conduct credit assessments and assist with the setup of new customer and supplier accounts

  • Process and reconcile supplier invoices and statements; coordinate domestic and international payment runs

  • Perform regular bank and credit card reconciliations and maintain accurate financial records

  • Prepare GST returns and complete statutory reporting, including Stats NZ submissions

  • Maintain the Fixed Asset Register and provide support for year-end financial reporting

  • Assist with the generation of credit notes and provide general accounting and administrative support as required

  • Support procurement activities related to local inventory purchases

  • Undertake additional finance-related tasks to ensure the smooth operation of back-office functions

  • Identify trends and events that might impact on future demand for services and the capacity of their area to manage the change.
  • Ensure individual and divisional goals are achieved and services are provided in an effective and timely manner.

What we're looking for:

  • A background in Accounting or Finance is ideal — a relevant qualification is a bonus, but not essential if you have the right experience.

  • Experience using financial or accounting systems is important; if you’ve worked with Propella, that’s a definite plus.

  • You’re confident with Microsoft Office, especially Excel, and comfortable working with spreadsheets and formulas.

  • You’re a clear communicator and a natural problem-solver who enjoys finding practical solutions.

  • You have a keen eye for detail, stay organised, and can handle multiple tasks without missing a beat.

  • Most importantly, you’re keen to build relationships, with a positive, can-do attitude who’s always ready to pitch in where needed.

Our culture is important to us; we pride ourselves on our customer responsiveness, positive approach, and open and honest communication both internally and externally.

If the above sounds like you, then we’d love to meet you. Please include a short cover letter with your application outlining a little about yourself and your experience, as well as an up-to-date resume and any relevant qualifications and references.
