Join the fun and friendly team at Poolwerx Christchurch

We're on the hunt for a brilliant Finance & Administration Officer to step into a key role within our business. If you're organised, number-savvy, and ready to bring your own "superstar" energy to our team, we want to hear from you!
About Us
Our business is growing and we're looking for someone amazing to support this journey. Poolwerx is New Zealand's largest franchised pool and spa care network of retail stores and mobile vans.
Poolwerx Christchurch is a successful, multi-award-winning, established brand that is locally owned and operated in Sydenham. We are genuinely dedicated to staff wellbeing and development. We offer a supportive, engaging work environment where we focus on creating backyard memories for families throughout Canterbury. We strive to be the best - do you?
Why Join Us?
We are searching for a true superstar who is passionate about providing exceptional service. This pivotal role supports the business owners by streamlining our financial processes and daily store operations.
We offer a competitive hourly rate based on your qualifications, experience, and what you bring to the team. We also offer a range of great benefits, including:- A paid day off on your birthday!
- A great team environment with fun social events (you'll definitely need a sense of humour!).
- Supportive bosses who truly look after their people.
About the Role
This is a dynamic role supporting the owners with the crucial day-to-day running of our financial administration. We are looking for someone with the drive to take ownership of their work, with the potential (if it interests you!) to step up and support the wider business down the track.
Hours & Flexibility:- 20-25 hours per week, Monday to Friday.
- We offer genuine flexibility around setting your start and finish times.
- Whether you are looking to work around school drop-offs and pick-ups, or you are simply searching for a better work-life balance in a part-time position, we can make this role work for you.
- As our business grows, or to support staff leave, additional hours may become available.
Our operations run across three different software programs used for water testing, job scheduling, inventory, and accounting. You will need the tech-agility to learn these systems and understand how actions in one program affect the others.
Key responsibilities include:- Finance Administration: Maintaining accurate financial records, processing transactions, performing daily bank reconciliations, managing accounts payable/receivable, and payroll entry. You will also prepare monthly financial reports and assemble GST and end-of-year reporting for our accountant.
- Inventory Management: Use your sharp attention to detail to support our retail team by reviewing and placing stock orders, receiving stock, and conducting regular stocktakes to maintain efficient inventory levels.
- Retail & System Support (The Bonus Stuff): It can get busy in our shop and on the phones! You'll be happy to pick up the overflow phone calls to ensure our clients are not kept ringing. While not essential, if you have experience in a retail environment or a chemistry/science background, that's a fantastic bonus. There is plenty of opportunity to learn our in-store water testing systems to help provide cover during peak times or leave, but your main focus will always be the engine room of our finances. There is always room to learn more about our business operations if this is of interest to you!
About You
We are looking for a highly driven person with strong attention to detail, excellent organisational skills, and a positive "can-do" attitude. The ideal candidate will be a strong team player who is ready to step up, manage expectations, and take ownership of the administrative financial tasks in our business.
Our ideal candidate has:- Proven Experience in accounting, bookkeeping, or financial administration using Xero.
- Inventory management experience (experience with Lightspeed is highly desirable!).
- Impeccable attention to detail and accuracy.
- Seasoned customer service experience with a proven ability to manage client expectations.
- The ability to work autonomously, self-motivate, and prioritise tasks effectively.
- A willingness to engage with our Chief Happiness Officer - a Border Collie called Storm who likes to greet all staff and customers on arrival in-store.
- A love for great banter with customers to build long-lasting relationships based on trust.
