Systems Accountant

Job No: ADC64
Location: Ashburton

Are you a spreadsheet-slayer? A ledger-legend? A reporting-rockstar?

 

We’re on the hunt for a Systems Accountant who’s ready to ditch the manual grind and help us take our financial systems to the next level.

 

What you'll be doing:

  • Making our financial systems sing - no more spreadsheet spaghetti!
  • Driving automation, efficiency, and continuous improvement. 
  • Keeping our charts of accounts and ledgers in tip-top shape.
  • Developing reports that actually make sense (and look good too).
  • Working closely with our finance and tech teams to make TechOne work smarter, not harder.

What we're looking for:

  • Someone who gets financial systems and loves making them better.
  • A curious mind with a knack for solving problems and streamlining processes.
  • Experience with TechOne? That's a big tick!
  • A team player who's not afraid to challenge the status quo (nicely, of course).
  • Passion for public service and making a difference in your community.

Why join us?:

  • You’ll be part of a supportive, forward-thinking finance team.
  • We value ideas, initiative, and a good sense of humour.
  • Flexible working, great benefits, and a chance to shape how we do finance.
