If you've mastered New Zealand payroll, we'd love to meet you. Finding someone with genuine New Zealand payroll experience in the Philippines is a bit like finding a parking spot in BGC on a Friday afternoon. It exists... but when you find it, you don't let it get away. We're looking for an experienced Accounts & Payroll Officer to join our established Finance team supporting Australia, New Zealand and the Philippines. While you'll primarily support our New Zealand business, you'll be surrounded by experienced finance professionals who work together across the region, sharing knowledge, solving problems and helping each other succeed. Payroll is the heart of this role. If you're confident managing Australian or, even better, New Zealand payroll, we'll happily help you build on your Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable knowledge.
