What do our graduates say about working with us?

‘The number one thing which made me want to work for Nexia was the people. From the first time you meet them, they are so friendly and welcoming. Even during the interview process, I felt like they really wanted to know me and understand what I wanted from a job. I also think the size of the firm influenced my decision – it’s big enough that you are always interacting with different people, but small enough that the work you do, who you work with and the one-on-one training you receive is irreplaceable.’

‘Do it! Once you have applied and met with Nexia you will not regret it. They truly care about you, and they want to ensure that you’re working to your full potential while also having fun.’

‘We have friendly, helpful, and approachable people at every level within the firm. There are numerous opportunities for growth and to be exposed to a variety of different work. Outside of work, we have a packed social calendar with various fun events around Christchurch, which are always a great time.’
