School Office Manager

About Kura Accounting

Kura Accounting is transforming financial processes in many New Zealand schools that traditionally rely on manual methods, especially those not yet utilizing Xero. Currently, transactions are often documented on paper and sent monthly to accountants for coding, with invoice approvals done manually and audits being challenging. We offer accounting services to NZ schools driven by technology to streamline these tasks.

Role Overview

We are seeking a seasoned School Office Administrator or Office Manager to join our team in a supervisory capacity. You will collaborate closely with accountants and software engineers, providing practical insights into school administrative operations. Since every school functions uniquely, you will evaluate each school's existing processes, recommend efficiency enhancements, and manage transitions including onboarding schools onto Xero.

• Extensive, hands-on familiarity with daily school office operations.
• Ability to work patiently and clearly with staff, guiding them through procedural changes.
• Cultural sensitivity and awareness of diverse school communities within New Zealand.
• Capability to operate independently, employing strong problem-solving aptitude.
• Excellent organization skills to prioritize and oversee multiple school transitions concurrently.
• Accuracy under pressure, with adherence to deadlines.
• Proactive mindset focused on enhancing operational efficiency and reinforcing financial controls.
