Our Client With over 60 years in business, Ashton Wheelans is a gold-standard chartered accounting firm with offices across Christchurch, Rangiora, the West Coast, Oamaru and Wanaka, serving a diverse client base across a wide range of industries.

Find out more about Ashton Wheelans: https://www.ashtonwheelans.co.nz/ This is a rare opportunity for an experienced tax specialist to build something meaningful – bringing a growing client base in-house and shaping the role around the way you want to work. The Role Ashton Wheelans require a Tax Specialist to work with their existing client base. You’ll operate with real autonomy – this is a role for someone who can genuinely stand alone technically but not work in isolation. Given the specialist nature of the role, Ashton Wheelans is genuinely open to part-time and hybrid arrangements for the right person – this is a role that can flex around your life too. Skills and Experience You’ll bring strong, specialist tax experience and the confidence to operate with minimal day-to-day oversight – perhaps you’ve come from a sole practitioner background, a partnership arrangement, or a senior in-house tax role where you were the go-to expert. You’ll be technically sharp, comfortable managing your own workload and client relationships, and just as happy collaborating with a wider team when it’s useful. A pragmatic, can-do approach and a good sense of humour will go a long way in this crew. If you’re after a role that respects your expertise, gives you genuine flexibility, and doesn’t come wrapped in stuffy corporate formality, this could be exactly what you’re looking for.
