In today’s competitive job market, finding the right opportunity can be a challenge, particularly in New Zealand where the accounting and finance sector is stabilising but has become increasingly competitive. At Tyler Wren, we’re excited to announce a new strategic partnership with a leading accounting and finance recruitment firm servicing Brisbane and the broader Queensland market. This partnership follows our successful collaborations with legal recruitment firms in London, Ireland and Australia, and marks a significant expansion in our ability to connect talented Kiwis in the accounting sector with exceptional opportunities across the Tasman.
A Hands-On Approach with Local Expertise
By leveraging the combined knowledge of experienced recruiters who have deep insights into both the New Zealand and Australian job markets, we’re perfectly positioned to assist Kiwis in the accounting sector looking to make their next career move. We understand what Kiwi professionals need, and with our “feet on the ground” approach, we stay up-to-date on the latest trends and developments in the accounting and finance recruitment sectors in both countries. This means we can offer you the most relevant and exciting job opportunities, tailored to your expertise and career goals.
The Current Job Market: Why Australia is Calling
Given the current economic environment in New Zealand, where growth in the accounting sector has slowed and opportunities have become more limited, many Kiwi accounting professionals are finding it harder to progress as quickly as they’d like. This makes Australia an increasingly attractive option. The Australian job market offers a wider variety of opportunities, but it also provides roles in larger, more complex organisations that can offer greater professional development.
Brisbane, in particular, is a fantastic destination for Kiwi accounting professionals, offering higher salary packages, increased job security, and career progression. Whether you’re an accounts payable expert, accounts receivable expert, business analyst, finance analyst, finance manager, assistant accountant, financial accountant, or finance business partner, now is the perfect time to explore the Australian market. Furthermore, with Australia’s larger economy, it provides an excellent platform for building a long-term career.
Our recruitment partner has expressed how well received Kiwis are with their clients, they have a reputation for possessing a great work ethic, fitting naturally into the team cultures, and providing a high standard of work.
Financial and Professional Benefits of Moving to Australia
One of the biggest advantages of making the move to Australia is increase in salaries and superannuation which most firms offer on top of base salary compared to New Zealand. Accounting professionals in Australia can expect robust pay, and our strategic recruitment partners in Brisbane are on hand to provide salary insights and trends across various regions, sectors, and experience levels. In addition to financial benefits, Australia’s larger organisations can offer complex roles that allow for greater professional growth, making it an appealing choice for Kiwi accounting professionals seeking new challenges and career progression.
What the 2024 Job Market Looks Like
As we move further into 2024, the New Zealand accounting and finance job market has seen a period of stabilisation and some contraction, with demand shifting and salaries becoming more consistent. While the rapid salary increases of the past two years have cooled off, there is still strong demand for roles like accounts payable expert, accounts receivable expert, business analyst, finance analyst, finance manager, assistant accountant, financial accountant, or finance business partner. The Australian market remains robust, and Kiwi accounting professionals who are adaptable and ready for change will find plenty of exciting opportunities across the ditch.
