Search Recruitment – Richmond, South Island The Opportunity If you're after a finance role with real variety, a genuinely supportive team, and the flexibility of part-time hours, this is worth a serious look. NZ Hops is a high-performing, close-knit business with a culture that is hard-working, down-to-earth, and genuinely supportive – the kind of place where you're backed to learn, contribute, and grow into the role at your own pace. This isn't a role where you'll be stuck doing one thing on repeat. You'll get exposure across reconciliations, reporting, tax, audit support, and even a bit of debtor and payroll knowledge as backup – real breadth, in a team that actively cross-pollinates and helps each other out. The Company NZ Hops is based in Richmond, Tasman, and plays a key role supporting growers and customers across the hop and yeast supply chain. The finance team works closely with the CFO, Leadership Team, and Board, and prides itself on a hard-working but genuinely down-to-earth and supportive culture.
