Build your career within a Finance team that values collaboration, curiosity and teamwork. Our client is a respected organisation playing an important role in delivering nationally significant infrastructure projects that make a lasting difference for New Zealand communities. The business is buzzing with many projects underway. An opportunity has arisen for a Financial Accountant to join a high-performing Finance team where you'll be supported by experienced leaders who genuinely care about developing their people. You'll be encouraged to share ideas, challenge the status quo and continue building your capability within a collaborative and professional environment. About the role: This is a broad Financial Accountant role offering a mix of core financial accounting responsibilities alongside exposure to a variety of projects and business initiatives. Working closely with the Senior Financial Accountant and wider Finance team, you'll contribute to month-end and year-end reporting, budgeting and forecasting, reconciliations, financial analysis and regulatory reporting. You'll also partner with stakeholders across the organisation, providing financial insights that support sound decision-making and continuous improvement. With a strong pipeline of work underway, no two days are quite the same. You'll enjoy variety, the opportunity to build relationships across the business and the chance to contribute beyond traditional financial reporting. About you: You'll be CA or CPA qualified with solid 2- 5 years financial accounting experience gained within a corporate, commercial or public sector environment. You're organised, naturally curious and enjoy understanding how things work. You take pride in producing accurate, high-quality work, can manage competing priorities and are comfortable working in a fast-paced environment where deadlines matter. Just as importantly, you're someone who enjoys collaborating with others, builds positive working relationships and when you can, look for opportunities to improve processes rather than simply maintaining them. Intrigued? This is an excellent opportunity to join an organisation with an important purpose, a supportive and friendly Finance team passionate about their work and who genuinely enjoy coming into the fabulous CBD offices to get together 3-4 days per week. You'll love the views over the waterfront from the offices and exceptional staff lounge and kitchen. Additionally, the senior leaders have created a culture where professional development is encouraged so you can be your best and do great work. If you're looking for a role that combines technical accounting with variety, collaboration and opportunities to learn from others in your team, call Sharon Ward Duncan on 021 356 777 ASAP or Apply Now.

Right now there are 11,726 open accountant positions on WorkMundi. The US leads with 3,242 jobs, followed by India (2,285), Australia (1,359), Philippines (629), and Singapore (441). If you've been thinking your options are limited to one country, look again.
One practical move: search by country first, not just by job title. The accountant role differs in scope, compliance, and day-to-day work depending on where you'd be based. A position in Australia may involve different tax codes, audit standards, and reporting cycles than one in India or the US. Narrowing by location before you read descriptions saves time and helps you spot roles that actually fit your expertise.
When you interview for an accountant role, expect this question: "Walk me through how you'd handle a transaction that doesn't reconcile." Hiring managers ask it because they want to see your troubleshooting method, not just whether you found the error. Practice explaining your logic step-by-step — what you check first, how you document it, and how you escalate if needed. That matters more than the final answer.
