If you enjoy finding the best possible solutions to challenging problems, to turn struggling New Zealand businesses around, a role in Business Restructuring Services could be right for you.

Business difficulties can arise from any number of causes. These include growing pains, operational mis-steps, failure to move with the times, business mismanagement and rapidly changing market conditions. Our Business Restructuring Services team work with organisations to develop a pragmatic approach to help them emerge from times of hardship wiser, stronger and more resilient. 

In our team, you will work alongside businesses and stakeholders to give a fresh and objective perspective, assist in developing concise and relevant information for decision making, and help to develop and launch turnaround strategies. When business difficulties become too extreme, you will play a crucial role in the formal insolvency process, where a professional, empathetic and rational head is needed.

You will be supported in developing a strategic, commercial, logical, analytical and investigative approach to solving problems. You will also learn to build trusting relationships and guide businesses by applying  empathy, objectivity, active listening and strong communication.

Businesses will always struggle; but with your help, organisations and their stakeholders can pre-empt and navigate these difficult times and develop lasting solutions to their problems.

I have regular GST clients I work on each month, I have other clients who I continue to work on and then every now and then I'll get given other clients financials to work on that I've never done before.

Pros and cons of working at PwC NZ

Pros

  • Being in a big company means the opportunity for growth is limitless, which can be overwhelming but inspiring at the same time.

  • The people - how connected, friendly, and open-minded they are.

  • We are encouraged to use our flexibility policy to structure our work in a way that suits us.

  • The PwC office in Auckland is amazing - the facilities are nice and the view is stunning.

  • My manager is very accommodating and professional. I enjoy working with him.

Cons

    • The distribution of work (resourcing) isnโ€™t clearly communicated, which makes me feel insecure when I have the least amount of work assigned compared to others.

    • Long hours (at times).

    • Annual progression is good but has no flexibility for exceptional circumstances.

    • The pay disparity is accepted due to the experience gained.

    • With being in a big company it can be hard to feel like a small ๏ฌsh in a big pond, especially as a graduate.
