Group Accountant

At Halter, we’re on a mission to enable farmers and graziers to run the most productive and sustainable operations. Our customers are using Halter to break free from the time-intensive constraints of conventional practices. Imagine watching 500 cattle stand up and walk calmly towards their next break? No quad bikes, no dogs, no fences. Just a group of cattle walking at their own pace. People say it looks like magic. Our customers are revolutionizing grazing with Halter. It's changing lives and transforming an industry. People join Halter to do meaningful work. By joining us you’ll be solving challenging problems within a talented team and a culture built for high performance. Our team out‑think, out‑work and out‑care. We’re committed to delivering real change in the world - this isn’t easy, and in truth, we love that it’s hard.

Halter has scaled quickly and is serving customers across New Zealand, the US, Australia and Canada, with more markets on the way. We’re looking for a Group Accountant to help keep our finances sharp as we grow across borders. Key responsibilities will include:

\n
• Working directly with our external auditors, owning audit requests and keeping things moving smoothly through the process.
\n
• Researching technical accounting positions and drafting the management papers that back them up.
\n
• Staying ahead of accounting and tax obligations and filing deadlines across multiple entities, so nothing sneaks up on us.
\n
• Working alongside our financial control team to support with group‑level month‑end tasks, including intercompany recharges and reconciliations.
\n
• Digging into accounting and tax requirements in new markets as we decide where to expand next.
\n
• Experimenting with AI to sharpen and streamline how the group function works.
\n

You will also gain exposure to other areas of finance, including finance operations, treasury, FP&A and finance systems.

We are looking for a passionate, hardworking team player, who thrives in a fast‑paced environment and is eager to learn and get stuck into solving hard problems. Key capabilities and experience include:

\n
• At least 3 years’ work experience, newly qualified CA or equivalent.
\n
• A strong technical background including knowledge of NZ IFRS or US GAAP (or both).
\n
• Experience dealing with multinational enterprises and consolidations.
\n
• Experience with auditing processes.
\n

Halter is growing fast, expanding into new markets, and our finance function needs to scale alongside it to ensure we can maintain speed, without compromising on quality of output or the trust of our stakeholders. This role sits at the centre of how we account for a business spanning multiple jurisdictions and the complexities of managing varying currencies, tax regimes and accounting frameworks. You’ll have a direct impact on building the processes, controls and judgments that underpin Halter’s next phase of growth.
