Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
The role focuses on delivering accurate month-end financial reporting, compliance outputs, and supporting planning and forecasting cycles. It involves partnering with business leads to provide financial insights and analysis to support decision-making.
Requires approximately 3 years of experience in financial accounting and a strong foundation in reporting and controls. A Chartered Accountant qualification or progress toward one is expected.
At Contact, we believe home is the most important place in the world. That belief shapes everything we do, from leading the energy transition to how we power Aotearoa and care for our people and communities.
We’re a power, broadband, and mobile company, but we’re also investing boldly in renewable energy and smarter, more connected ways of working. Our ambition is simple: to leave Aotearoa better than we found it.
Guided by our tikanga, we’re a team who care deeply about the work we do, how we support one another, and the impact we have. Simply put, we touch lives to make life better.
Finance plays a core role in how we deliver on that ambition, bringing discipline to our reporting, supporting how we plan, and helping the business understand performance as it evolves. We’ve moved away from narrow silos and toward a more connected, future focused model that brings clarity, confidence, and integrity to decision-making. This is where the Finance Analyst role comes in and adds value: delivering reliable financial information and supporting the reporting and planning cycles the business relies on.
This is a generalist analyst role focused on core accounting, with responsibility for delivering accurate and reliable financial outputs while contributing to planning, forecasting, and wider finance activity as needed. You’ll be part of a connected Finance team that works across planning, reporting, compliance, risk, and strategic initiatives, contributing where the need is greatest and learning how different disciplines come together to support Contact’s strategy.
