Current Vacancies

First up

To be honest, most of the applications we get are people blindly sending off their CV and cover letter. Most of the applications we receive say exactly the same thing. They become a bit dull to read.

So, don't bother sending your usual covering letter (we would like to read your CV though!). Write a brief covering letter through the Seek website - tell us a bit about yourself, what role you play at Friday drinks, what makes you tick and what you'd contribute to our team!

A bit about us

We are:

Paperless and 100% Xero (Platinum status with Xero)
Award Winning - finalists in the Partner of the Year (2021), and winner of the Advisory Partner of the Year in the 2019 Xero Awards
Focused on advisory and using best-of-breed Xero add on apps.
Pushing into more than just accounting (for example checkout Convex Legal - we've got more coming)
Fast paced, constantly changing, and looking to improve how we operate.
People people, which means we only want someone on our team who fits our culture, and only take customers on who fit that same culture.
Winner of Advisory Partner of the Year and finalists for Accounting Partner of the Year in the 2019 Xero awards.

We also know that the role of the traditional accountant is dying. We've got a strategy in place to deal with that and are supporting our team to keep their skills relevant.

We have an exceptionally open culture, where everyone knows what's going on with everything. We share turnover numbers, our wins and losses, and we hold each other accountable to our internal KPIs.

Our customers range from businesses with international branches, to small local start-ups (and of course everything in between). We help them with regular compliance (dealing with IRD) as well as planning, systems management, strategy, and business growth advisory.

A bit about you

We need someone that's willing to engage with our customers, solve problems, and make a difference to their businesses. We want someone who's fun and great to work with, and who's willing to come on a journey with us and our customers.

The successful candidate will:

Have at least 3 years accounting experience (room for movement here but ideal).
Be finished or part way through their CA qualification - we may pay out any bonding at your current employer (if you're finished already that's a bonus)
Be able to work independently, but also know when to ask for help.
Have the technical skills to get the BAS work done, or review the work completed by the rest of the team.
Be able to cope with a fast-paced environment where things change quickly, and new issues come up constantly.
Be able to relate to our customers both in terms of how they communicate (both written and verbally) and in terms of what it's like to run a business.
Be tech savvy, Xero is a must, add-ons are an advantage.
Have a personality (which we'd love to see a bit of in your job application)

They will be responsible for:

Preparing financial statements and tax returns for small and medium businesses and trusts, together with the various reconciliations and IRD discussions.
Dealing with customer queries (you're their first port of call).
Handling new sales leads and networking with other professionals.
Meeting with customers and explaining what their accounts mean in plain English.
First review of compliance work (annual accounts/tax returns)
Driving internal initiatives, like customer seminars and newsletters.

What's in it for you:

A hard working, but relaxed (no, this isn't an oxymoron) and fun environment,
The ability to grow as the business grows.
Access to customers and being able to work directly with Riann and Hamish (the Directors)
A rewarding place to work where your opinion is valued and you're encouraged to try new things (we know, this sounds a bit cheesy but it's what we're all about)

How to apply

Please apply as usual through Seek. If you've got any specific questions, please include them in the cover letter.

We do not employ through recruitment agencies. So, if you've left your CV with them in the past, please also send it to us.

Applicants for this position must have NZ residency, unfortunately we will not be offering sponsorship at this time.

Why you'd join Convex is hard to define... But ultimately it's about our team. We've collected a set of exceptional people who create our culture and drive our business.

It comes down to...

Actual Fun

No lip service to work functions. Melbourne, Marlborough Sounds, panic rooms, Sydney and more. Hit targets, have fun.

Benefits

Work trips, health insurance, flu jabs. We actually care about our team

Flexibility

It's fluffy and hard to define. You define it, we agree the ground rules with no push back. Multiple offices, working from home, just what suits.

Our Customers

Some are small. Some are bigger than you'd care to imagine. Whoever it is, you'll work closely with customers who care about your work

Personal Growth

Our business grows when our people grow. We'll help you create a clear plan for your career and we'll help you get wherever it is you want to go.

Access & Influence

We're a small firm. You'll get direct access to our Directors, and be able to influence the future direction of the firm. Being open plan, everyone gets a say.

We are recognised by Xero as being the leading advisory accountants in NZ. Compared to other accountants around the country, we came out on top!
