Dear Business Owner,
Imagine what it would be like to have a proactive accountant that responds to your queries? One that can explain things to you in a language you understand? One that actually has business experience and has solved the same challenges you are facing?
Taxes will be under control… you’d be able to focus on what you do best… you’d feel secure that your business was in good hands… you wouldn’t have to spend weekends worrying about accounting and the IRD anymore… you’d finally be able to ‘switch off’ and actually enjoy the fruits of your hard work.
So ask yourself… are you sick and tired of spending your hard-earned dollars on an accountant that only gets in touch to tell you how much tax to pay (if they even do that)? Are you fed up of the so-called 'Chartered Accountants' and 'Business Advisors' that don't respond and start every e-mail with 'sorry for the late response'?
Then stop the frustration of not knowing where your business is at and add our proven, refined business tactics to your team.
Our modern approach to accounting has been used by business owners across every industry in New Zealand and helps our clients operate to their full potential.
We are here for aspirational business owners.

Consulting
Ongoing Consultancy
Business owners with a plan and a strategy are more likely to succeed than their competitors. It’s as simple as that. This is just like having a personal trainer - but for your business.
We help business owners set action plans to help them fire on all cylinders. We like to make it easy so our plans are clear and task orientated with set action points. We work with you in an intensive but interactive session to ensure no stone is left unturned. Once you’re done, you’ll leave with a business plan that is clear, concise and achievable.
Just like any good plan, it’s only as good as the work that goes into executing it. We know what it’s like to be in business; we all get a little bit busy working in the business and not on it. Just like your personal trainer, we catch up with you regularly to ensure the plan is being actioned.
With every business we work with, there are always opportunities that are waiting to be unlocked. You’ll also have access to the trusted people in our network that help us and our clients achieve their goals.
Business owners can be sceptical about paying for these sorts of services so we GUARANTEE our fee for the right type of client who we know will put the work in.
We’ve all heard the old saying: ‘If you fail to prepare, prepare to fail’ - unfortunately it’s true. We want to see business owners and people win, whatever that may look like - that's for you to decide.
One Off Consultancy
Being in business can be lonely. We've helped tonnes of businesses navigate tough situations and come out the other side in a better position.
Where it is the right fit, we offer business consultancy services on a per hour or per project basis. In business, it is important to surround yourself with people who can challenge you and help you unlock new opportunities. Get in touch to discuss this with us further. Expect genuine advice from market leaders. We do only have limited slots available for one off consultancy work so please make contact quickly.

Accounting
In business, there are some things you just have to do to stay out of trouble. This includes completing all of your accounting and tax obligations whilst keeping the IRD happy. We know this sort of thing won’t excite you and it isn’t why you got into business. We like to partner with you to add value, solve your problems and help you succeed. As market leading Chartered Accountants, we can take care of your financial statements and tax returns each year.
We can help you with all of your day to day accounting and tax requirements including: Annual accounts, tax returns, provisional tax planning, GST returns and Companies Office compliance (we’ll teach you this to save you some money). We will ensure you have the best systems in place to save you time and frustration when it comes to accounting.
We know your business is unique so we don’t have off the shelf packages, instead we’ll sit with you to make a tailored solution that suits your business.
All of our clients are on monthly retainers that allow them to ask incidental questions throughout the year without a separate invoice. That’s right,no surprise bills.
The monthly retainer includes tax planning at each instalment & payment notification (so you know what to pay and when – no surprises), annual accounts, & tax returns, GST help where needed and incidental support (basic queries - Xero and Tax throughout the year).
