Why Andersen

We’re building something different in New Zealand — a firm defined not just by capability, but by how we show up for our clients and each other.

Global capability, local partnership

Be part of a globally connected firm spanning 170+ countries, while working closely with New Zealand businesses. You’ll gain international perspective without losing the depth of local insight.

A firm on the rise

We’re growing — quickly and deliberately. That means real opportunity for you: early responsibility, meaningful client exposure, and the chance to shape your career as the firm evolves.

Real work from day one

You won’t be on the sidelines. From the start, you’ll contribute to real client work across advisory, tax, and corporate finance. Supported by structured learning and on-the-job experience.

Invested in your future

We back our people. Expect mentorship from experienced leaders, support toward professional qualifications, and development that builds both technical expertise and commercial thinking.

A culture of partnership

We work collaboratively, support each other, and value different perspectives. You’ll be part of a team that is approachable, high-performing, and committed to doing great work together.

Built on trust

Everything we do is grounded in long-term thinking. It’s how we build enduring client relationships, and it’s how we develop our people.

What you'll gain:

• Broad experience across business advisory, tax, and corporate finance and more, allowing you to discover your passion and strengths
• Client exposure from early in your career
• Professional qualification support, including study leave and relevant fee coverage
