The Opportunity: A Modern CA Practice, Avondale.
The Package: $115,000 – $125,000 + Benefits.

The Manoeuvre: Move from compliance production to high-level review and strategic oversight.

The Commercial Reality Most Chartered Accountancy firms in New Zealand are struggling with the same two problems: finding new clients and finding the time to service them.

This firm has already solved the first one.
Through a highly successful, lead-generating digital strategy, this two-Partner firm in Avondale is experiencing a consistent wave of new client acquisition. They have moved beyond the "legacy" model and into a modern, growth-oriented practice that actually understands the digital economy.
Now, they need to solve the second problem: Quality at Scale.

The Role: Architect of Quality This is not a role for someone who wants to spend 40 hours a week buried in a ledger.
The firm utilizes a high-functioning, established outsourced team in Manila that handles the primary production work. As the Business Advisory Services Manager, you are the pivot point between that engine room and the Partners.
Your strategic focus will be:

• Technical Oversight: Providing the final quality assurance and technical review for work completed by the offshore team.
• Advisory Lead: Moving beyond the numbers to provide real-world business advice to a diverse, tech-savvy client base.
• System Evolution: Working directly with the Partners to refine workflows as the digital strategy continues to scale the firm’s reach.

Why this is your next move:

• True Leverage: You are managing a system, not just a desk. By overseeing the Manila team, you are freed up to do the high-value advisory work that actually requires your CA qualification.
• Modern Culture: Join a firm that views accounting as a proactive growth tool rather than a reactive compliance cost. No "dusty office" mindsets here.
• Lifestyle Win: Based in Avondale, you’ll dodge the CBD commute while working in a high-growth environment that rivals any mid-tier city firm for technical complexity.

About You: You are likely a Senior Accountant or a Manager in a traditional CA firm who feels the ceiling closing in. You are CA qualified (or equivalent), you understand the efficiency of global teams, and you have a "client-first" advisory mindset.
You don’t just want to "do the work"; you want to be the person who ensures the work is exceptional.
