Be what you want to be
We have opportunities available in our Audit and Assurance Services and Business Advisory Services teams.

BDO - AUDIT
If you know that business is about more than the balance sheet and profit and loss statements, then this could be the team for you. Our audit specialists and technical experts focus on the bigger picture. BDO has one of Aotearoa’s largest dedicated audit teams.
BDO - Business Advisory
In Advisory, we work alongside businesses to help support and manage their financial needs. From basics such as tax compliance, day-to-day accounting requirements, payroll and preparing financial statements, to the more complex stuff such as growth strategies, tax planning and asset protection. You’ll gain a comprehensive understanding of business finance and make a real impact!

It’s OK if you’re not sure what service line you are most interested in just yet, you’ll learn more throughout the recruitment process.
BE YOURSELF
We want to get to know you beyond your qualifications and grades! What you value outside of your studies, the experiences you have had and what motivates you is just as important. At BDO Manawatu you can show up every day just as you are and be appreciated and supported. What makes you, you is key to your success and in turn is key to our clients’ success.
