About Teneo

Teneo is the global CEO advisory firm, partnering with senior leaders to navigate complex challenges and shape a better future. With more than 1,600 employees across 45+ offices worldwide, Teneo provides integrated advisory services spanning strategic communications, financial advisory, management consulting, risk, governance, ESG and organisational design.

Backed by significant investment and a global network, the New Zealand practice has clear ambitions to scale meaningfully over the coming years. The local leadership team is highly experienced, well connected, and genuinely focused on building capability, culture and long‑term careers. To enhance their service delivery capability they are after multiple new Consultants to join the business!

About The Role

Teneo are open to hiring two candidates, one coming in around 2 years in to their career and perhaps currently in an Audit or BAS accounting role (if not insolvency and restructuring directly!), and one that would be a graduate who has just finished their degree qualification.

Responsibilities

Both roles will be hands‑on positions with strong learning and development built in. Initially, you will be closely involved in the practical delivery of insolvency and restructuring engagements, building a deep understanding of how distressed situations are managed in real terms. The Directors are willing to grow the right person from the ground up, and to start off with the key responsibilities include:

Managing day-to-day work across formal insolvency appointments, independent business reviews and restructuring engagements.
Assessing companies’ financial positions, short-term cash flow, asset recoveries and creditor outcomes.
Analysing financial records, business performance, security positions and underlying stakeholder interests to inform strategy and decision-making.
Supporting trading administrations, receiverships, liquidations and other turnaround or recovery processes, often in time-critical situations.
Assisting with investigations into company affairs, transactions and stakeholder positions, including preparing clear findings and recommendations.
Developing and implementing asset realisation and recovery strategies to maximise returns for secured and unsecured creditors.
Liaising confidently with banks, legal advisers, directors, management teams, creditors and other stakeholders throughout an engagement.
Preparing high-quality reports, correspondence and statutory documentation to support appointments and meet legal and regulatory requirements.
Coordinating workstreams across multiple engagements, managing competing priorities and contributing to timely delivery for clients and stakeholders.
Supporting senior team members in identifying commercial issues, managing risks and progressing restructuring or insolvency strategies.

As capability and confidence grow, there is a clear pathway into more advisory‑focused and client‑facing work. If you are an experience insolvency specialist then you may be provided a higher degree of exposure immediately.

About You

This role will suit someone with strong accounting fundamentals and a desire to move into more complex, commercial and people‑focused work.

You Will Ideally Bring

Experience in insolvency and restructuring, or a transferable background from audit, BAS, tax or similar
OR recently graduated from University with a degree in Accounting and keen to explore a career in Insolvency.
Strong analytical capability and comfort working with numbers
A clear and concise written communication style with strong drafting and report-writing skills
