ACCOUNTING EXPERTISE

We do all the tough stuff, like dealing with the IRD, taxation planning, and streamlining your accounting processes. If Xero, MYOB, or your current accounting systems aren’t meeting your expectations then we’ll get them set up properly. Our expertise means we guarantee the value we add to your company, no matter how big or small the project is.

What We Do

Manage your accounting

We have the processes and software to get your accounting streamlined and clearly managed, no matter what shape it’s in right now! With decades of experience, we know how to make accounting easy. We’ll put good systems in place so that you can be empowered to make good decisions about the future of your business.

Get set up with cloud accounting

With cloud accounting, say goodbye to expensive computer costs and constant back-ups. The cloud is online, making it easier to manage your records and accounts – let us set this up for you easily and see what a difference it will make to your business. We’re certified in Xero and MYOB, and have no problem with pretty much anything else you’ll come across. You can trust us to know what we’re doing.

Get your tax sorted

Make sure that you don’t overpay tax, or end the financial year with an unexpected tax bill. We take care of everything so you’re well prepared and won’t end up with any nasty surprises. Many of our clients have cut down the amount of tax they pay, and lowered their risk. Find out how much we can help you save too.

Keep the IRD in check

Not everyone deals with the IRD as much as we do. We save you time and lower your risk by sorting out any issues you have, even if you didn’t know they were there. Our expertise in dealing with IRD issues will keep them happy with your business, which is the best way to go.
