BAS Accountant - Intermediate or Senior | Palmerston North

• Complex, high-quality work with direct client contact from day one
• Industry-leading training, CA support and a clear pathway for development
• Palmerston North lifestyle - without the Auckland price tag or commute

About the Role

BDO Manawatu is one of the region's most respected accounting firms, and this is a genuine opportunity to do work you are proud of in a place you actually want to live.

We are looking for either an Intermediate or Senior Accountant to join our Business Advisory Services team. The work is complex and client-facing from the start. You will get exposure to top-tier clients across a wide range of sectors, contribute to Virtual CFO projects, and work alongside some of the most experienced practitioners in the profession.

This is not a back-office role. You will be in front of clients, adding value, and building the kind of experience that accelerates a career.

Why BDO Manawatu

The work is the kind you would expect from a globally respected firm. The lifestyle is the kind you can not get in Auckland.

Palmerston North gives you genuine work-life balance - affordable housing, no gridlock, and easy access to beaches, trails, and open space. If you have been doing good work in a big city and wondering whether there is a better way to live, this is worth a serious look.

On top of that:

• Industry-leading training - CA support, specialist workshops, and leadership development pathways that put you on a clear track.
• Real responsibility - client-facing from day one, with Virtual CFO exposure and advisory work that goes well beyond compliance.
• Genuine culture - collaborative, social, and professionally serious when it counts. People here show up for each other.
• Hybrid Working - one day working from home per week (after an initial 6–12 months in-office as you settle into the role)
• Globally respected brand - BDO operates in more than 160 countries. The standard we hold ourselves to reflects that, right here in Manawatu.

What We Are Looking For

Intermediate Accountant - 1.5 to 4 years experience in a New Zealand public practice firm, progressing through or about to begin CA, confident with compliance, financials, and client communication.

Senior Accountant - 5 or more years experience, CA qualified, strong technical background, client advisory experience, review capability, and a team-first mindset with an interest in mentoring others.

Package

Competitive salary commensurate with experience, plus CA fees, study support, professional development, and staff benefits.
