Description

About the Organisation

This is a well-established New Zealand fintech business with a genuinely differentiated product, a loyal client base built over two decades, and a clear growth runway ahead. They operate in a market that is under-penetrated and growing, with the relationships, brand reputation and commercial ambition to capitalise on it.

The business works with thousands of New Zealand companies and the accounting firms that serve them, helping clients manage their financial obligations more efficiently and cost effectively. It operates in a regulated environment with strong institutional partnerships and a purpose-led ownership structure that sets it apart from most fintechs.

This is a business that has done the hard work of building credibility and market presence. The next chapter is about scale – and this role is central to that.
