Financial Controller (Part-time / Ad Agency)

Are you looking for a regular weekly part-time financial role? Are you someone who can bring strong financial acumen and discipline to a medium sized advertising agency business?

On behalf of our SME client, The Pond Recruitment is on the hunt for a self-starter and experienced part-time Financial Controller, someone who is over the 40-hour slog and looking to take half a step back into something part-time. This is a crucial role for this small dynamic business based in Central Auckland. You’ll be a passionate individual who enjoys working closely with owners/directors. You will have strong financial acumen and proven financial experience and will be happy to play the balance of accounts clerk and financial adviser (This role would suit a doer as much as a strategic thinker).

Day-to-day, under the direction of the owners, you will play an intricate role, providing both operational and strategic financial management and advice. You will be financially literate, with  proven financial experience (SME experience would help). You’ll be a motivated individual who can work to monthly and weekly deadlines and work independently without direction. The right candidate will have experience in full 360-degree accounting responsibilities i.e., payroll, management of accounts receivable and payable, client billing, month end reporting, tax and compliance payments.

Please note that the hours will range from 18-20 hours per week and it will be an in office-based role. The candidate who gets the position could stay a sole trader and invoice the employer weekly for their services or join the team on a part-time employment contract.
