  • Free your time…

    As a Xero Partner and Certified Advisor our bookkeeping and annual accounting packages will keep your records up to date so you don’t have to. Making sure that your tax and GST are filed on time, and providing you with certainty and clarity so you can focus on your work. We can help set up Xero and add-ons to help streamline your time on the essentials.


    … and your mind will follow

    IRD compliance can be, well, taxing. You will be busy on the job or relaxing after a hard run of work and the last thing you want to be doing is paperwork. We can help you to ensure that you are claiming what you can, accurately, and on time. Whether you use Xero, another accounting package, or just send us your bank statements, we will take care of everything so that you have accurate real-time information available.
