Intermediate Agri Accountant - Urgent Hiring

Strettons has been ‘Empowering Better Business’ for our customers for nearly 70 years and we are looking for the next generation of accountant to join us in Taupō. 

Are you ready to join our team?

About us | Ko wai mātou 

Strettons was established in 1954 and has been through many changes to transition into the modern chartered accountancy firm we are today.  Our current team of 40 experienced people is led by five young, passionate and energetic Directors, all with a desire to lead the way to ensuring our clients get the best advice possible.

As a team, our purpose is ‘Empowering Better Business’, which means a lot more than just helping clients financially, but instead, helping our customers to identify what success looks like to them, helping them achieve their goals and supporting them towards their version of financial freedom.

While focusing on the Central North Island, we have clients across New Zealand and cover a wide range of industries and services - extending wider than your general accounting business.  Our five Directors are all born and bred in the region and believe in a real team focus, to ensure we provide the best possible service to our clients.

We love putting back in to the local community wherever possible, and are proud supporters of many local events and organisations, because we believe that if the region is prospering, so will everyone else.
