Career Prospects at Findex New Zealand

Can't say much about this as I am ye to move up the ranks. But after a few conversations its generally about meeting not only your goals but the companied also.

I have just started my role as a Graduate Auditor this year and I have a long way to go. I am still in the learning process. Of course, there are promotion opportunities (will have to face many ups & downs) but this is life so aligning with dedication, commitment and work ethics would move you to further ranks at the company.

I have not been told the specifics on how to move up in the company yet, however I have had it told to me that I will most likely be moving to an accountant role next year as I am meeting all expectations and even exceeding. However, with each level of progress the rewards for the time and work you put in are not equal. I have found out that people who are two years above me and managing multiple clients and known as one of the hard workers, is barely earning more than I am at my graduate level.

There are a few different paths that I could take. Basically, have to keep doing training courses and accredited tasks if you're working towards CA

At this stage, promotion and progression opportunities haven't really been discussed with me- I didn't expect this at this early stage while still learning and working only part-time. However from observation of other staff, progression opportunities seem to be made readily available.

First you become a graduate accountant if start from when you graduate university. Then after a year or so of being there you progress to being an accountant. then you do CA for 3 or so years and when finish this then you become a senior accountant.

Never been told about promotion opportunities.

Office dependent a little bit. There are definitely opportunities but you really have to put yourself out there and be willing to drive this yourself. If you want to learn or have an opportunity to work or do something, speak up.

Doesn't appear to be hugely pushed

There is a very direct path from graduate to senior, which is based on time and qualification (CA). From there it is just about being in the correct location with correct challenges to progress beyond senior

Plenty of exposure and responsibilities arise for those who want it. Secondments around the country, large and challenging jobs, etc. All available to anyone who is willing.

unsure at this point in my career

Easy to move up depending on what office you're working in. To move up you need to work hard and stand out from your peers

Some of what it is to get promoted is qualification and time frame but there are also opportunities for internal promotion. The managers communicate what is required to make the push for a promotion

in my department it is a climbing ladder job so it can get quite boring and grindy.
