How we work:
Real time advice
We can provide real time insight into your business. You may be used to seeing your accountant once a year and receiving a set of financials which don't mean much to you. Using new technology allows us to provide regular insight into what's happening in your business.
We partner with you
Your success is important to us because if you're successful, we're successful. We're interested in what is going on in your business, where you've been and where you're headed. So part of what we do is around setting your objectives and measuring your performance.
Smart system solutions
Modern business technology is easy to use, automated, and can drastically cut your administration time. We can help you identify and implement modern tech systems for you business. Much of what we do here centres around Xero.
Not just about tax
We can help you with your tax, but any accountant can do that. What about all the other stuff? Cash flow, marketing, employing staff, pricing, structuring. We can help you put together a strategic plan to help grow your business.
Always available
You'll have several contact points within our business, so there'll always be someone available to take your call. You can count on your phone calls or emails being returned within 24 hours. We're never too busy to service our customers.
Fixed fees available
We offer fixed price packages to eliminate surprise bills. If you have a project for us to work on, we can work with you to agree on a fee upfront before starting the work.
