Finance & Operations Coordinator – New Plymouth

People Passion was founded on the vision to make life easier and less complicated for SME businesses. Due to some recent internal movements, we're now on the lookout for a Finance & Operations Coordinator to join our energetic team and keep our office running smoothly from our New Plymouth base.

About Us

We're a team of 14, spread across Auckland, New Plymouth, and Wānaka. We partner with a wide range of industries, providing practical HR and recruitment support that is people-focused, straight-talking, and unique. Our strong growth is a reflection of the outcomes our team delivers and the relationships we build, which continue to create referral business.

About the Role

This is a varied, hands-on role where you'll be the go-to person for finance and operations across our whole business. It's our only internal finance role, so you'll get to take ownership of the function while also providing day-to-day support to the Directors and team. We envision this being a 32-hour per week role, spread across Monday to Friday.

Every day is different, but your key responsibilities will include:

  • Leading our internal finance function: accounts payable and receivable, weekly payroll, reconciling Xero, debtor/creditor management, cashflow and budget monitoring

  • Preparing monthly reports on cashflow, budgets, and key business metrics

  • Being the first point of contact for suppliers and managing day-to-day office needs

  • Providing EA support to the Directors including diary management, travel bookings, meeting preparation, and minute taking

  • Supporting the wider People Passion team with admin and workflow coordination

  • Contributing to team culture, engagement and helping us live our values in the way we work together

Our Wish List

We're looking for someone who is organised, adaptable, and confident juggling multiple responsibilities. Ideally, you'll bring:

  • Previous experience in accounts, finance, or office management (Xero experience essential)

  • Strong organisational skills and high attention to detail

  • A natural ability to build relationships with suppliers, clients, and colleagues

  • Comfort with tech and systems (we use Microsoft 365, Zulu, Employment Hero, and more)

  • A proactive, can-do mindset with a willingness to roll up your sleeves and get stuck in

Most importantly, you'll be reliable, positive, honest and kind, someone who thrives in a collaborative team environment and enjoys supporting others to succeed.

Why People Passion?

We may be scattered across the country, but we're a close-knit team. You'll be part of a workplace that is collaborative, fun, filled with opportunities to grow and develop, and where we genuinely celebrate each other's successes. Flexibility is important to us and we're open to shaping the hours of this role to suit the right person.
