Finance Manager - Tauranga

Finance Manager — Jenkins Freshpac Systems, Tauranga

Are you the kind of person who rolls up your sleeves, finds solutions before others have finished describing the problem and if “get it done” is your default setting, keep reading — we want to meet you.

At Jenkins Freshpac Systems, we’re a tight‑knit, hands‑on team supporting the machinery, packaging, and labelling operations that keep New Zealand’s horticulture industry moving. We work hard, back each other, and never take ourselves too seriously. Now, we’re on the hunt for a Finance Manager who brings the same energy.

Who you are

You're a self‑starter who sees what needs to happen and makes it happen. You’re motivated, positive, and practical — the sort of person others rely on because you’re steady, organised, and always two steps ahead.

You’re comfortable owning the finance function end‑to‑end, confident making decisions, and you thrive in an environment where every day brings something new. You enjoy being part of a leadership team, contributing ideas, and supporting the success of the whole business — not just your patch.

Most importantly, you value honesty, respect, integrity, and courage in how you show up every day (no need for slogans — it’s just who you are).

What you’ll be doing

We won’t bury you in a long task list here — you already know what a Finance Manager does. You’ll be responsible for the full financial management and reporting function of the business, including cashflow, payroll oversight, forecasting, statutory compliance, financial analysis, and leading a small team.

You’ll also play a key role in helping the wider business run smoothly by supporting colleagues, fine‑tuning processes, driving systems improvements, and being our go‑to person for all things financial (and occasionally IT‑related).

If you enjoy variety and like being the person others trust, you’ll thrive here.

What you bring

• A solid background in senior finance roles

• Strong analytical and organisational skills

• Experience with monthly & annual reporting, compliance, and budgeting

• Confidence using ERP systems (MYOB Acumatica experience would be great)

• Excellent communication and relationship‑building skills

• A genuine desire to support your team and help the business be successful

• A relevant accounting qualification and professional membership

Why You’ll Love It Here

We’re a practical, supportive company that looks after its people. You’ll join a leadership team that values your input, gives you room to make decisions, and trusts you to do your job well.

If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.
