As Company Accountant, you will take ownership of the day-to-day finance function, supporting the business across design, project management, and construction operations. Operating right in the heart of the city in our Britomart office, you will keep the numbers accurate, cash flow steady, and project invoicing on track.
About the role
You’ll be the central link between the operational team, project managers, and leadership. This is a varied, hands-on position ideal for a pragmatic accountant who enjoys being involved in all aspects of business finance—from daily AP/AR oversight to monthly management reporting. You will also compile year-end working files for our external CA firm, who handle the final annual accounts and tax returns.
Key responsibilities
- Prepare monthly management accounts, cash flow updates, and operational reporting.
- Monitor Work in Progress (WIP), project margins, and monthly client invoicing.
- Oversee Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable, ensuring smooth subcontractor payment runs and proactive debtor management.
- Complete monthly payroll, calculate sales commissions, and file GST and PAYE returns.
- Maintain balance sheet reconciliations and prepare year-end documentation for the external accounting firm.
- Guide front desk and administration staff.
- Assist operational leads with job setups, supplier accounts, and general finance queries.
About you You are a reliable, self-directed finance professional with great attention to detail who thrives in a busy, collaborative environment.
You’ll also bring:
- 3+ years of experience in a broad Company Accountant, Financial Accountant, or senior accounting role.
- Experience within construction, project management, design, or commercial contracting is a plus but not a must.
- Practical experience managing month-end processes, WIP tracking, and cash flow forecasting.
- A down-to-earth communication style and a willingness to help out across the business.
- CA/CPA qualification or a relevant accounting degree.
Why join us? If you prefer being in the office, working alongside your team, and making things happen in real-time, you’ll love our culture.
You'll enjoy:
- A supportive environment where your hard work is visible and valued.
- A great Britomart location right next to public transport, cafes, and city life.
- A wide and varied role covering everything from operational invoicing to monthly reporting.
- Support from an external CA firm that takes care of the annual statutory tax and year-end filing.
