At BestStart, we’re passionate about giving every child the best start in life. As a trusted leader in early childhood education, we support our centres with strong business functions to ensure quality care and education is at the heart of everything we do.

The Opportunity:

We have a fantastic opportunity for an Assistant Management Accountant to join our Finance team at BestStart’s Tauranga Support Office. In this role, you’ll play a key part in managing financial processes across CAPEX, OPEX, fixed assets, and month-end reporting. It’s a great chance to bring your analytical skills and accounting knowledge to a purpose-led organisation, while growing your career in a supportive and collaborative environment.

What you’ll be doing day to day:

  • Maintaining WIP schedules ensuring the capital expenditure process is adhered to
  • Managing the fixed assets register, including additions and disposals
  • Leading the close-off process for new developments, including cost analysis and journal posting
  • Month-end processing and reporting for fixed assets, new developments, and expenditure
  • Process depreciation and stock journals monthly
  • Completing balance sheet reconciliations (CAPEX/WIP, OPEX, Stock, Fixed Assets)
  • Providing timely and accurate reports to support other business areas
  • Assisting with the annual audit, ensuring all requested documentation is accurate and provided on time


What we’re looking for:

  • 2–3 years’ accounting experience, ideally in medium to large organisations
  • Strong background in monthly reporting, reconciliation, and financial analysis
  • Accountancy qualification or similar is desirable but not essential
  • A sharp, analytical mindset with high attention to detail
  • Excellent working knowledge of accounting systems
  • Intermediate to advanced Excel skills
  • Experience in process improvement initiatives would be a bonus
  • A proactive, positive team player with a collaborative approach
  • Ability to meet deadlines under pressure while managing competing priorities
  • Clear and confident communication skills – both written and verbal
  • Self-motivated, innovative, and open to thinking outside the box


Why Choose Us?

We are committed to helping our employees reach their full potential. Our attractive benefits package includes discounted childcare, subsidised healthcare insurance, and the chance to work for a well-established company. We value diversity and encourage our team to bring their authentic selves to work.
