We have an exciting opportunity for an Intermediate or Senior level tax specialist to join us and be an integral part of our Taxation team, based in Auckland CBD. This role will suit someone who enjoys a team-orientated work environment, but also can work autonomously.

We offer you the opportunity to:

• Work with top tier clients across for-profit and not-for-profit entities
• Get to network internationally as part of the Baker Tilly network
• Work with proven experts and apply your broad tax knowledge
• Be promoted to the next level if you can prove yourself
• Enjoy more flexibility working in a smaller team, including flexible working hours and casual dress
• Work in a team with a proven reputation for excellence (we have been around for over 70 years)

The successful candidate will ideally have:

• Degree in an Accounting or related discipline coupled with Chartered Accountant or CPA qualification (an LLB would be an additional benefit)
