“Accounting is all about being a trusted advisor”

I have more than 12 years of experience working in accounting and as a tax specialist. I am extremely passionate about mentoring and coaching small businesses and being part of their strategic, business & tax planning including governance and business structuring.

As a business advisor I provide business consultancy services to a wide range of small and medium sized businesses throughout New Zealand. This advice includes financial management, strategic planning, business and tax planning, management reporting and structuring business. I work with a highly engaged team providing accounting compliance and taxation services to business operating in a wide range of sectors including construction, importing/exporting, professional services, tourism, manufacturing, processing, media and retailing.

I work collaboratively to provide clients with practical business solutions to allow them to be successful in their respective businesses which include identifying short-term solutions and developing long-term strategies.

Accounting is not only about numbers but connecting your business goals with a financial plan, regularly reviewing your performance and focusing on key areas of development.

• Do you have a business plan as a business owner?
• Are you working on your business rather than in your business?
• Often businesses complain that they see profit in the books but not enough cash in the bank. Do you understand key cashflow drivers and your cash conversion cycle?
• Are you managing your taxes efficiently?
• Have you reviewed your business structure from a tax perspective?
