Role Description

The Assistant Accountant role is a full-time position located primarily in our Auckland office, reporting to the Finance Manager. This position manages the daily financial operations, including comprehensive accounts receivable and payable management, subscription billing, collections, payroll assistance, and monthly account reconciliations. Responsibilities also include preparing accurate financial documents, supporting balance-sheet reconciliations, and maintaining internal financial controls for our multi-entity SaaS business.

The role also involves supporting our hardware division with tasks like order fulfillment, reconciliation, and inventory management. You will collaborate with internal teams and clients to resolve billing and account issues and help identify opportunities to enhance and automate financial workflows. This is a genuine growth role offering substantial ownership and skill development as the company grows.
