Hear it from our team

“Kendons has been the place where I’ve been able to grow my career. I’ve progressed from junior accountant to Business Advisor while completing my Bachelor of Commerce and now my CA qualification, all while working full-time and raising a family. The flexibility and support I’ve had here have made that possible.

What I value most is the variety and connection in my role. I work with clients through their highs and lows, build genuine relationships, and make a real difference to their business journeys. Kendons has also encouraged me to grow beyond my comfort zone, from attending industry events to most recently speaking at a women’s legal forum.

At Kendons, you’re not just doing a job; you’re supported to develop your career, balance your life, and take on new challenges that grow you personally and professionally.”

Nicole – Business Advisor

“What makes Kendons special is the constant drive to improve and the way all 50 of us work together as one team. I’ve experienced tremendous growth here, tackling everything from complex international tax matters to IRD negotiations.

The variety of work means you can build skills across almost every area of accounting, tax and business advisory, and Kendons gives you the support to shape your own career path. It’s a genuinely great place to work."
