We all know that work/life balance and interpersonal relationships are really important; so why not start your career at a firm that’s big enough to offer varied and interesting work, but small enough that you’re more than just a number?

Baker Tilly Staples Rodway is an Accounting, Tax, Audit, Corporate and Business Advisory firm. Here in New Zealand, we employ over 480 people and have offices in Auckland, Waikato, Tauranga, Taranaki, Hawke's Bay, Wellington, and Christchurch. We are also a part of the Baker Tilly International network, with over 650 offices worldwide. Our people benefit from being locally owned while enjoying the advantages of an international network, including potential secondment opportunities.
