Archway is supporting a leading multinational employer that is recognised as a market leader in their sector who are looking for a Senior Management Accountant on a 12 month contract basis.

You'll be supporting a complex and dynamic business, where the finance team plays a key strategic role across the organisation. Despite operating within a large corporate environment, the team remains lean, creating genuine opportunities for individuals to gain broad exposure and make a meaningful contribution.

The Role
This is an exciting 12-month fixed term opportunity for an experienced Senior Corporate Accountant to join a high-performing finance function during a period of change and transformation. Offering far more than traditional month-end reporting responsibilities, this role provides exposure across tax, forecasting, budgeting, analysis, finance operations and business improvement initiatives. You will partner with stakeholders throughout the organisation while also contributing to projects focused on automation, systems enhancement and finance transformation. Key responsibilities will include:

- Monthly, quarterly and annual financial reporting
- Forecasting and budgeting activities
- Divisional performance reporting and analysis
- GST, FBT and income tax compliance
- Cash flow reporting and analysis
- Balance sheet reconciliations and accrual management
- Supporting accounts payable and wider finance operations
- Regulatory and covenant reporting
- Group reporting and consolidations
- Board reporting and financial commentary
- Process improvement and automation initiatives




- Contributing to finance systems and transformation projects

This role can be based in either Wellington or Auckland and offers a flexible hybrid working model.

Role Requirements
To be successful in this role, you will be a technically strong and commercially minded finance professional who enjoys variety and can work autonomously within a fast-paced environment. You will ideally possess:

- CA qualification or equivalent
- Big 4 or mid-tier accounting background
- At least 3-5 years' post-qualified experience
- Strong financial and management accounting experience
- Exposure to budgeting and forecasting
- Tax experience, including GST, FBT and income tax
- Advanced Excel capability
- Robust systems aptitude and a passion for process improvement
- The ability to identify and implement automation opportunities

What's in it for You
This opportunity offers exceptional breadth and exposure that is rarely found within a typical Senior Accountant position. Benefits include:

- Competitive salary package
- Hybrid and flexible working arrangements
- Involvement in finance transformation and automation initiatives
- Broad exposure across tax, treasury, reporting and financial control
- A collaborative and supportive culture focused on continuous improvement

Whilst there is no guarantee of permanence, this is a very real possibility and this role has been created during a period of change. We're happy to talk you through this.
