About Accounting

Accounting forms an integral part of an organisation, being responsible for reporting on a business’ finances through the creation of relevant documents, financial statements and audits. Other responsibilities include analysing financial performance and developing budgets and forecasting figures based on this information.

Job Outlook

Accountants in New Zealand are in high demand, with a projected industry growth of 3.4% by 2019. The growing New Zealand economy is going to help that in coming years which means more career opportunities. An Accountant’s salary is approximately $42,000 after gaining a Bachelor Degree, but the amount you can make depends on the level of education as well as the amount of practical experience you have.

To become an Accountant in New Zealand requires an Accounting Degree or a Bachelor of Business Degree majoring in Accounting. Potential employers also tend to favour those who are members of Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand (CAANZ). To classify as a registered Chartered Accountant requires experience, as well as a Graduate Diploma run by the CAANZ.

Accounting Courses in NZ

No matter what level of qualification you wish to gain, there are plenty of accounting courses on offer. While Accountants typically have a Degree, there are many different levels of accounting courses which can provide a thorough understanding of accounting practices.

From basic accounting courses, which can give you a foundation knowledge of financial recordings and documents, through to an extensive degree qualification, there are plenty of accounting courses in New Zealand to suit every need.

If you don’t have the time to do a course, then don’t worry, many of these are online accounting courses. Online courses can give you the convenience to learn anywhere and have all your resources available at any time.

Short Courses

Unsure where to start looking when it comes to Accounting? Then accounting short courses are an excellent place to begin exploring the industry, providing you with an understanding of basic Accounting skills.

Students can also acquire specialised skills in Accounting programs such as Xero and MYOB. This knowledge also happens to be crucial for small business owners who wish to manage their own bookkeeping.

Certificate

Certificates can vary in length, with the Certificate in Xero and the Certificate in MYOB taking as little as 10 hours to complete. A short completion time makes it perfect for further your knowledge while still maintaining other commitments.

Certificate IV

If you’re seeking a qualification that provides a more in- depth understanding, consider a Certificate IV in Accounting. This Accounting Certificate can offer you a solid grasp of planning, accounts and computer skills. The Tax Practitioners Board also recognises it, and upon completion, you can become a Business Activity Statement Agent. The time taken to complete a Certificate IV in Accounting can vary by the amount of work done online per week. This gives students free reign to tailor their learning to work with their busy schedules.

Diploma

A Diploma in Accounting is beneficial for students wanting to gain greater knowledge of Accounting, with the opportunity to apply it to practical and theoretical situations.

A Diploma level qualification is invaluable, providing the learning needed to offer a smooth progression into the Accounting industry. Accounting Diplomas can lead to a career as a qualified Account Technician and can provide you membership to CAANZ.

Advanced Diploma

An Advanced Diploma of Accounting can take between a year to two years to complete, but students can hone their skills in a practical way which can prove beneficial to career development.

Students with previous qualifications are perfect for this accounting course. Advanced Diplomas have a great ability to build on existing knowledge, which can be crucial in developing strategic decisions.

Bachelor’s Degree

As an Accountant requires a Degree qualification, many students choose a Bachelor of Accountancy or a Bachelor of Business/ Commerce with a major in Accounting. In New Zealand, Massey University is the only provider of a full Bachelor of Accountancy and is highly accredited. This course covers a range of topics,  including the policies of Accounting practices, through to the practical application of accounting skills in business. A Bachelor Degree comprises of three years full-time study and also has distance learning options.

Skills and Knowledge

Whether it’s through simple calculations or as in- depth as forecasting and budgeting, to be an Accountant requires a real love for numbers. The skill set can include having a solid understanding of financial and economic concepts as well as analytical and logical reasoning.  Many Accounting firms also favour skills such as communication, problem-solving and a keen attention to detail. Students can learn these skills across all levels of accounting courses in New Zealand.

Accounting Careers in NZ

There are many jobs available to pursue after completing any accounting courses, which varies based on the level of qualifications obtained, as well as experience. Some of those who undergo a qualification will work in exciting Accounting careers such as:

  • Accounting Technician
  • Bookkeeper
  • Payroll Officer
  • Tax Agent
  • Accounts Clerk
  • Accounts Manager
  • Forensic Accountant
  • Chartered Accountant
  • Financial Planner
