Senior Tax Consultant

About the Firm:
This boutique firm based on Auckland’s City Fringe has carved out a niche in tax consulting for SMEs and property investors. Their clients range from developers and landlords to business owners and high-net-worth families - many with complex needs and big decisions to make.

You’ll join a small, specialised tax team focused purely on consulting work. With one team member heading off to the Big Four, this is a rare chance to take on a hands-on role where you’ll work side-by-side with the Tax Partner, contributing real advice that makes a difference.

What You’ll Be Doing:
Forget compliance—this role is all about helping clients make smart tax decisions. Here’s how it works:

• Clients sit down with the Partner to outline their situation and goals
• You take that info and provide tailored tax advice in the form of written opinions
• Most work involves property structuring, GST treatment, and SME planning
• You’ll interpret the relevant tax rules, consider what structures are best, and explain your thinking clearly
• As you settle in, you’ll also support juniors and build your confidence in client-facing meetings

What You’ll Bring:

• 4+ years of NZ Tax experience—ideally from Big Four or perhaps you’ve moved to a law firm and want to come back to tax consulting
• Proven experience delivering tax consulting and advisory work (not just compliance)
• Strong working knowledge of NZ tax legislation and how to apply it
• Excellent written and verbal communication—you can draft clear advice and confidently discuss it with clients
• A curious, analytical mindset with confidence to explore complex scenarios

Why This Opportunity?

• Innovative, forward-thinking firm with no timesheets (yes, really!)
• Direct mentoring and idea-sharing with a sharp, experienced Tax Partner
• Consulting-heavy role—which is the dream if you love tax and real client impact
• High staff retention, reflecting a supportive and enjoyable work culture
• Regular client exposure and real input into strategy

• 15+ years of experience in the Professional Services sector
• Job opportunities across New Zealand and Australia, with local recruiters in each location
• Many placements are not available through adverts
• Support at every stage, from career guidance to job search management including personalised interview prep to help you succeed
