The Company

My client is a privately owned NZ company operating in the FMCG sector. The business operates across both NZ and Australia with multiple entities and different company structures. The company is approximately $140M t/o with circa 25 staff and requires a well rounded Company Accountant to partner the MD and an operations FM. The structure is flat and requires someone who is non-hierarchical in nature but who can really own the accounting function (not the clerical accounting function).

The Role

The role of Company Accountant will report directly to the GM Finance & Operations but partner the MD/owner from a finance perspective. Your key responsibilities will include:

• Preparation of Monthly Management Reporting for all group companies - includes simple consolidation
• Preparation of Weekly Reporting
• Daily 'dashboard' reporting
• Balance Sheet revaluations + reconciliations (monthly)
• Monthly accruals & prepayments
• Preparation of annual budget and ad-hoc forecasting throughout year
• Foreign Exchange - taking out FECs to cover imports/exports
• Maintenance of Fixed Asset register
• Intercompany reconciliations
• Maintenance of GL/Chart of Accounts
• Monthly GST return preparation
• Quarterly FBT return preparation
• Other ad hoc duties as required

Your Profile

To be considered for this role we are looking for a Qualified Accountant who can demonstrate a wealth of experience and a broad based background. Ideally you will have had some experience in exports as well as FMCG. You need to have strong communication skills, a practical hands on approach but at the same time, be able to produce high quality board reports and be prepared to go to meetings with parties such as banks to present financial information. You will also need to have strong systems skills - this business is going live on 1 November with Dynamics 365 and will need someone that can continue to developing the reporting and capability of the system for maximum effect for the business long term. We are looking for an individual who may be looking to even take a step back in their career but provide the maturity & trust worthiness of their abilities to this owner.
