Join a growing Queenstown firm as an Equity Partner. Lead a great team, drive strategy, and bring your existing client base to a solid, boutique base

• Secure a leadership stake in a growing, high-energy boutique firm.

• Merge your client base with a solid, established practice and continue to grow

• Rare opportunity to become a key part of an ambitious, growing firm

The Client 

This is the opportunity to join a boutique accounting firm in the heart of Queenstown on the search to find their next Partner. This isn't your typical corporate firm; they are a tight-knit, high-energy team that has built a strong reputation in the region.

They are small enough that you’ll have a genuine impact on day-to-day operations, but growing fast enough to offer a very lucrative long-term future

What will you bring?

We are looking for a commercially-minded leader who brings both technical expertise and an entrepreneurial spirit.

• Existing Portfolio: Ideally, you will have a small, portable client base that you can bring with you to hit the ground running.

• Qualified Expert: CA (or equivalent) qualified with extensive experience in New Zealand public practice.

• Leadership: Proven ability to mentor a team and oversee complex client workflows.

• Strategic Growth: A passion for business development and the ability to act as a "Trusted Advisor" to local SMEs.

Why you should talk to us?

• Direct Impact: No red tape—you’ll have a seat at the table from day one.

• Great Culture: Join a team that values high performance but rejects the "burnout" culture.

• Equity Path: A transparent, incentivized route to ownership in a growing firm.

• Location: Based in Queenstown, offering unparalleled work-life balance

This is a fantastic chance to join forces with a long standing accounting practice, well respected in Queenstown and a close knit team.  This is a rare opportunity to become partner at a growing practice based in Queenstown.
