  • Opportunities to influence, improve and make your mark
  • A workplace that genuinely values balance and wellbeing

Grant Thornton New Zealand is a member of an ambitious global organisation providing audit, tax and advisory services to dynamic organisations to unlock their potential for growth. Our proactive teams led by approachable partners use insights, experience and instinct to understand complex issues for privately owned, publicly listed and public sector clients.

Our collaborative culture means we share ideas as well as the responsibility for making them happen, and our fresh thinking and agile working helps businesses, communities and our people to flourish.

Make an Impact as a Manager

In this role, you’ll bring your insight, experience, and professional intuition to help clients navigate complex issues and implement meaningful, effective solutions. You’ll thrive in a dynamic environment where you take ownership of your work, contribute to strategic thinking, and help shape the future of our client relationships.

Beyond core compliance, you’ll have the opportunity to lead exciting projects, build and manage your own client portfolio, and play a key role in developing and supporting your team. This is a role where your expertise is valued, your ideas are welcomed, and your leadership truly makes a difference.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Building and nurturing long-term client relationships
  • Supporting and driving project work that goes beyond compliance including cashflow, forecasting and commercial solutions
  • Delivering insightful monthly management reporting
  • Providing system and process support to help clients improve the way they work
  • Leading the preparation of financial statements and income tax returns
  • Offering leadership, coaching, and guidance to team members

About You

  • At least 4-5 years’ CA experience, with strong technical capability
  • Clear, confident communicator who can bring clarity to complex information
  • Commercially minded with the ability to think beyond the numbers
  • Skilled at building rapport with a wide range of clients
  • Proven leadership experience with a collaborative, supportive style
  • Strong at managing your own workflow and overseeing junior team members
  • Experience with accounting technology solutions is an advantage
  • Ideally, you’d also have experience leading and managing people, with a strong focus on coaching, development and helping others reach their potential.

About Our Culture

Team members tell us that it is the people here that make the difference. Our collaborative teams enjoy working together and ensure they are constantly learning, exceeding client requirements and expectations as a result. Our Partners are down to earth, approachable, and recognize and reward achievements of the team and individuals. Our open plan office promotes open communication, efficiency over excessive work hours and active social and sporting teams. We enable our team members to be themselves at work and match drive and skill with further opportunities to learn.

Benefits We offer a competitive remuneration package, 5 weeks’ annual leave, car park allowance, a day to volunteer, subsidised sports or gym membership, flexible work options, the ability to take your Friday afternoon back to recharge if you’ve achieved all your outcomes for the week, additional parental leave, support of your professional development and membership fees, and much more!
