Chartered Accountant Team Leader

Complex clients with flexibility in hours

Keep your career on track while working part time

Hybrid Role - office and home options available

  • You’ve built a solid career in CA.

  • You’ve done the long hours, the deadlines, the pressure.

  • Now you want something different — without stepping backwards.

This is that rare opportunity where you can keep doing meaningful, high-level work and have the flexibility to properly balance life outside the office.

Why This Role Is Different This isn’t a “we say we’re flexible” firm.
This is a genuinely modern CA practice that has structured itself to support experienced professionals who want control over their time.

  • Part-time from 20 hours per week (and yes, that includes senior leadership)

  • Hybrid working that actually works in practice

  • A manageable portfolio with quality clients

  • A small team where you can lead without being stretched thin

It’s the kind of environment where many people come from larger, well-known firms and just stay.

About the Firm
Our client is a well-established, highly regarded Chartered Accounting firm based on the Auckland city fringe.

They’ve built their reputation on:

  • Long-standing client relationships

  • High-quality advisory work

  • Investing in the right systems, tools, and people

With five experienced Directors and a strong team culture, this is a stable, forward-thinking firm that values doing things properly — without burning people out.

The Role This is a true producing leadership role.
You’ll:

  • Own a portfolio of complex, interesting clients

  • Be the trusted advisor (not just the compliance person)

  • Lead a small, capable team (including a CA-qualified accountant)

  • Stay hands-on with the work you enjoy

  • Work closely with a Director who respects your autonomy

Day-to-day includes:

  • Financial statements, tax returns & planning

  • Running client meetings and building relationships

  • Reviewing work and mentoring your team

  • Driving workflow, quality, and efficiency

  • Using modern tools (Xero, reporting tools, AI where useful)

Who This Will Suit This role is ideal if you:

  • Are CA qualified with solid NZ public practice experience

  • Have worked in reputable firms and know your craft

  • Enjoy client relationships but don’t want the grind

  • Like leading people — but not managing chaos

  • Want flexibility without losing interesting, challenging work

You might also be:

  • Returning to the workforce and want a senior role that fits your life

  • Juggling family commitments and ready for a better setup

  • Considering a move to Australia eventually — but want a strong NZ role now

What You’ll Get

  • Real flexibility at a senior level (not lip service)

  • A supportive, low-ego environment

  • High-quality clients and meaningful advisory work

  • The chance to mentor and shape others

  • A firm that is future-focused but grounded
