Senior Financial Accountant
About us
PaySauce has been cooking up awesome payroll since 2015. We started off small but have been growing fast - we’ve moved from start up to scale up and have more and more customers learning to love the Sauce! With our clever platform and sharp eye for security, compliance and ease of use, we make it easy for employers to manage the human side of business - from contracts to digital timesheets, payroll, banking and filing.
We love payroll and people, and we’re revolutionising the way they are looked after: we really care about helping both employers and employees by making the tough things simple and letting them focus on the things that matter. Our goal? Effortless yet flexible. Clever solutions that are intuitive to use and make payroll a beautiful experience.
About the role
We’re looking for a Senior Financial Accountant to keep our financial house in top shape as we grow. Reporting to our CFO, you’ll own the ins and outs of our financial control environment - from financial reporting, audit and tax to making sure we stay compliant with the NZX. You’ll own our month-end and year-end reporting keeping it sharp, accurate and on-time.
You’ll drive improvements to our financial systems and tools, finding smarter, simpler ways to do things as we continue to grow.
About the team
You’ll join a small, sharp, and down-to-earth finance team where you’ll work closely with the CFO, Finance Business Partner, and the wider PayForce. The team handles everything from accounting compliance and payment operations to strategy and investor engagement. We’re hands on, practical, and solutions focused.
As we grow, you’ll help shape and support a wider team that includes an accountant, a payments administrator, and an IRD specialist. It’s a great mix of finance and operations, and you’ll play a key role in bringing everyone together to keep things running smoothly, accurately, and compliantly.
About you
You know your stuff as you’re recently qualified, or you’ve been doing a similar role for at least five years that’s given you a solid grounding in audit or financial reporting. You’ll have strong technical accounting skills, especially around NZ IFRS, tax, and financial control. If you’ve worked with listed companies or tackled NZX reporting before, that’s a big bonus.
You’re ready to step into a leadership role, support others to grow, and take real ownership of your space. You communicate clearly, build trust easily, and enjoy working with people from across the business.
You don’t need to worry if you don’t have all the boxes ticked, there will be plenty of support available within our existing team, but it is important that you’re experienced enough to be independent and own some of our key processes once you’re familiar with how we operate.
Why you’ll love working at PaySauce
Life is good here with the PayForce. We take care of each other as much as we do our customers: we’re built on being empathetic, kind, and people first.
We live by our values - they aren’t just words on a page to us, they are what we live and breathe. We’re straight up and take our mission seriously, but we have fun along the way!
We’re committed to supporting your development and ensuring you feel fulfilled and happy at work. We’re dedicated to ensuring everyone feels valued and has a contribution to make to PaySauce’s (very bright) future.
You’ll get health insurance, extra leave if you’re becoming a parent and an invitation to join our employee share scheme. Most days you can ditch the formal wear - this role will be externally facing from time to time - but overall, we’re pretty laid back, and the office is fun, friendly and close to shops and cafes. Most importantly, you’ll have an awesome supportive crew around you in a company that’s really going places.
