Assistant Accountant - Accounts, Payroll & Administration

• 7-month fixed term, start mid-November
• Flexibility that suits you – full-time or a 4-day week
• Be part of a supportive, close-knit team

At Timpack, we’re proud to be a leading provider of pallet solutions across New Zealand, supporting the logistics and supply chain industry. We’re committed to innovation, sustainability, and great customer service — but just as importantly, we care about creating a positive and supportive team environment.

We’re looking for a detail-driven Assistant Accountant to join our finance team on a 7-month fixed term contract (mid-November start). Based on-site in Te Rapa, this is a varied role covering accounts, payroll, and administration — with plenty of scope to learn and contribute. You’ll need to be available across the Christmas period (excluding public holidays).

The role can be full-time or 4 days a week, offering flexibility while still giving you exposure to a wide range of finance functions.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Managing invoicing, bank reconciliations, AR and AP functions.
• Preparing monthly management accounts, P&L reporting, and year-end accounts.
• Running weekly and monthly payroll (BizPay/Employment Hero).
• Supporting stocktakes and intercompany invoicing.
• Completing GST and FBT returns.
• Maintaining the fixed asset register and supporting IT/systems tasks.
• Assisting with budgeting, forecasting, and statutory accounts.

We’d love to hear from you if you have:

• Previous experience in a finance, payroll, or accounting role.
• Strong attention to detail and organisation skills.
• Confidence using accounting systems (experience with Sage300 and Power BI would be a bonus).
• A proactive mindset — someone who enjoys variety and can work independently.
• Great communication and teamwork skills.

What We Offer

• A collaborative and supportive team culture.
• A varied role with both accounting and administration responsibilities.
• Flexibility (full-time or 4 days/week).
• The chance to join a well-established, respected New Zealand business.
