Passion - Perspective

You are not your job. But you are passionate about what you do.

Passion

We seek talented, balanced individuals who are passionate about who they are and what they do.

As a Staples graduate, you’ll be focussed on achieving your goals. It’s more than just a job for you or a “means to an end”. You’re passionate about a career as a chartered accountant, and enthusiastic about making sure that you achieve the highest standards in what you do.

You’ve worked hard to get to where you are, you’re committed to completing your requirements to get you to CA and you’re willing to do what it takes to satisfy your desire to succeed. Essentially, that’s all we need for you to bring to the party and we’ll commit to giving you the tools and expertise to get you to where you want to be.

Looking at the broader perspective – balancing my passions with my job

"I have been with Staples Rodway for almost 12 years and thrive on the variety and opportunities I have been given. Along with developing my accounting and business knowledge, I also actively work in my other areas of passion - marketing and development of Japanese business. Whilst having the opportunity to deal with a huge variety of clients, working closely with and gaining knowledge from directors and managing and developing a team, I have still had some incredible opportunities that I have been able to take part in - such as presenting on behalf of Baker Tilly Japan overseas, a three month secondment at Baker Tilly Japan, and presenting on international tax issues when doing business in Japan for the NZ Trade and Enterprise Trade Delegation in Tokyo.

Staples' individualised approach to the direction I want my career to take has enabled me to accomplish balancing, and indeed, incorporating my passion with my career."

Annette Azuma - Senior Manager - Business Advisory Services

Perspective

We applaud your drive to achieve because we’re also driven to achieve. However we don’t expect you to sell your soul to reach your goals. It’s imperative to us that you show perspective in the bigger picture, and balance out your career here at Staples with the other things that are important to you - because we do the same ourselves.

Our leaders are successful people who have achieved some outstanding accomplishments throughout their career whilst managing to maintain a balanced lifestyle. This is our concept of success– a rewarding career whilst having the time to devote to everything else in your life that is of value to you. Our leaders have accomplished this, and they encourage a workplace that helps you accomplish it also.

Getting the Balance Right

"At the director level we practice what we preach and balance is extremely important to us.

A couple of years ago I did the Taupo Ironman. This required many hours out of the office – swimming, cycling and running – for which I had the full support of my fellow directors.

I have become a lot lazier since then and my family is very pleased that I have little more “balance” in my sporting pursuits as well!"

David Searle - Director - Audit and Assurance Services

Balance is not just a matter of dividing up the hours in the week, it’s about knowing who you are and what’s important to you – and keeping it all in perspective
