Accountants work in a wide variety of organisations,
including: chartered accounting firms; small-medium
sized accounting practices; government organisations;
not-for-profit organisations; business and commercial
enterprises; management consultancies and law firms.
Share broking and financial planning is a relatively
new but growing sector in New Zealand. Work
opportunities in this area can be
found in investment and commercial
banks, accounting firms, insurance
companies, share broking and
securities firms or in private practices.
The New Zealand Exchange (NZX) provides a market for
trading securities, including shares in listed companies
and bonds, and is also the national body representing
share brokers who are NZX members.
Business administration continues to make up the
largest occupational group within the finance industry,
and numbers are expected to increase as the economy
strengthens and the number of mergers settles,
encouraging firms to employ more staff.
Professional bodies
While anyone in New Zealand can use the term
accountant to identify their occupation or job, only
members of the New Zealand Institute of Chartered
Accountants (NZICA) use the title Chartered Accountant
(CA) or the related titles, Associate Chartered
Accountant (ACA) or Accounting Technician (AT). To
