Commercial Accountant
At T&G Global, we're building the future of our Apples business in Hawke's Bay.
That means investing in orchards, technology, labour capability, infrastructure and the systems that will support our next stage of growth.
As our business evolves, we're creating a Commercial Accountant – Growing role that sits at the intersection of finance and operations. This is an opportunity to move beyond reporting and become a trusted commercial partner, helping leaders make decisions that influence the future direction of the business.
While our finance team is intentionally lean, the scale and complexity of the operation means you'll gain exposure to some of the most important commercial and operational decisions across the business. For someone looking to broaden their experience and build a deeper understanding of how a large, vertically integrated business operates, this role offers a unique opportunity.
About the Role
Supporting our Growing and RSE/Labour portfolios, you'll work closely with orchard managers, operational leaders and finance stakeholders to understand performance, identify opportunities and support future investment decisions.
You'll help answer questions such as:
• How can we improve orchard profitability?
• What labour models best support future growth?
• Where should we invest next?
• Which development opportunities create the greatest long-term value?
Your work will include:
• Financial planning, forecasting and budgeting
• Commercial performance analysis and reporting
• Labour and orchard cost modelling
• Orchard development and profitability analysis
• Business case development and investment modelling
• CAPEX and OPEX decision support
• Board reporting and strategic insights
• Continuous improvement of reporting and planning processes
About You
You may currently be working as a Management Accountant, Commercial Accountant or FP&A Analyst and are looking for a role that provides greater exposure to the operational side of a business.
You'll bring:
• CA qualification (or working towards it)
• Experience in management accounting, commercial finance or FP&A
• Strong analytical and financial modelling skills
• Advanced Excel capability
• The ability to translate data into meaningful business insights
• Strong stakeholder relationship skills
Most importantly, you'll be curious, commercially minded and excited by the opportunity to influence decisions beyond the numbers.
Why T&G?
This role offers something increasingly difficult to find; the opportunity to see how financial decisions translate into operational outcomes.
You'll gain exposure to orchard development, labour strategy, investment decisions and business planning, while working alongside leaders responsible for growing one of New Zealand's most significant horticultural businesses.
If you're looking to broaden your commercial capability, build deep operational understanding and play a meaningful role in shaping the future of T&G Apples, we'd love to hear from you.
