Commercial Accountant

North Shore, Auckland | Full-Time | Hybrid Role 

About the Role

Talinger is partnering with a leading New Zealand business to find their next Commercial Accountant. This company is part of the invisible art behind some of the world's biggest film and TV moments.

This is a true generalist role covering everything from bank reconciliations and accounts payable through to payroll, cashflow, and revenue recognition. It's varied, fast-moving, and no two days look the same. You’ll get to work closely alongside various people and teams – from the MD to the Production team and the external accounting team, enabling you to gain real visibility over how the business runs commercially.

What You'll Own:

• Payroll, including contractor payments and compliance

• Weekly cashflow reporting, with full ownership of a 90-day rolling view

• Project tracking with relevant stakeholders

• Accounts payable and first point of contact for contractor queries

• Daily bank and credit card reconciliations

• Coordinating the R&D tax credit process alongside external advisors

• Contributing to management accounts, working closely with the external accountants.

What You Bring:

• Solid commercial or accounting experience in a fast-paced, project-based environment (no CA qualification required)

• Xero proficiency; understanding of percentage-completion revenue recognition (IFRS 15) important

• Smartly experience an advantage, not essential

• High attention to detail and a genuine ownership mentality. This is a role for someone who solves problems rather than waits to be told

• No ego about the work, you’re happy across everything from the detailed to the strategic

Why Apply?

• A genuinely varied, hands-on seat with real impact

• Hands-off, high-trust management style — support is always available, but you won't be micromanaged

• Quarterly health & wellness allowance, EAP, internal development programmes, and a strong social culture

• Hybrid working, 3 days in the Auckland office

• An exciting industry where you can brag about the work the team produces!
