Management Accountant
Populous People Limited
Napier City, HKB, NZ
Full Time
Reference: 01392cd3ac42ad46
Job Description
You will be joining a great crew here – you can feel the culture and energy when you walk into these offices which reflect the legacy, ownership and care that sits at the heart of this well-established business. This role is a key guide to many of the decision makers in this regional office. This will suit an accountant with a strong commercial mindset – you will be providing rigour and high-quality financial insight and analysis for a substantive business with real scope and scale. Fulton Hogan is one of New Zealand’s largest privately owned infrastructure, road construction and civil engineering companies. They deliver high-quality infrastructure to connect communities and improve the lives of people across New Zealand, every day. They have a strong pipeline of work, and with the recent purchase of their new quarry in Napier, this is a great time to be joining their Hawkes Bay based team. Reporting to the Finance Manager and leading a small team of three, you will support the day to day transactional, reporting and strategic accounting functions. This is a hands-on role where you will be responsible for month end activities, budgeting, forecasting, CAPEX planning, as well as business partnering with managers across the operation. You will build strong relationships with leaders across the business, to help them understand and evaluate financial data and support them with commercial decision making. You will also support the quarry operations with production planning, demand forecasting and inventory management along with day-to-day accounting tasks. To be successful, ideally you will be CA or CPA qualified, or have a relevant tertiary qualification and be motivated to complete your CA studies. An affinity to the civil contracting or infrastructure industries, would be a real advantage, although not essential. You will be good at building strong relationships across operational teams, and in your element translating complex financial information into clear, useful insight for leaders across the business. You may be in a CA firm currently and looking for that first commercial role, or you may be in a similar role looking for a chance to step up and lead a small team, in a company that has a very strong forecast of growth and development ahead. You will be joining an inclusive and down-to-earth team culture, and a business that genuinely wants to see their people develop and grow in their careers. #J-18808-Ljbffr
