About the Role
We’re on the hunt for a CA-qualified Senior Accountant who’s ready to take the next step - combining technical excellence with strategic insight to help our clients and our firm grow.

At Whutupōro – Awesome Accountants, we do more than compliance. We lead with insight. You’ll manage a portfolio of clients across our Tāne, Kauri, and Pōhutukawa Services, delivering top-tier accounting, tax, and advisory outcomes.

​This role offers a pathway to equity and long-term leadership opportunities for the right person.

What You’ll Do
  • Prepare and review financial statements, tax returns, GST, and management reports.
  • Meet with clients regularly to provide advisory insights and strategic business guidance.
  • Lead and mentor our intermediate and graduate accountants, fostering growth and confidence.
  • Support the firm’s expansion through business development and process improvement.
  • Use and champion tools like Xero, FYI, FuseSign, and Office365 to drive efficiency.
  • Model Whutupōro’s values - teamwork, innovation, respect, enjoyment, and straight talk - every day.

What You Bring
  • CA qualification (or equivalent) and several years of public practice experience.
  • A strong technical foundation in accounting, tax, and compliance.
  • Commercial curiosity - you think beyond the numbers.
  • A people-first approach with genuine interest in mentoring others.
  • A drive to help clients and the firm grow through advisory work.
  • Long-term commitment to becoming a key part of Whutupōro’s leadership and culture.

Why Join Us
  • A pathway to equity in a forward-thinking, values-driven firm.
  • Mentoring and professional development to support your growth.
  • A chance to make real impact - shaping clients’ futures and coaching the next generation.
  • An energetic, down-to-earth team that genuinely enjoys what we do.
