Accountant NZ Wide
Numbers stressing you out?
We tackle the tax & tame the chaos so you don't have to.
Accounting Services NZ
Imagine an accountant who actually responds to your emails
(shocking, we know)
Sure, you started off feeling important, but then weeks go by before you get a reply, and suddenly you feel like you're just a number.
Which is on brand for an accountant, but off-brand for you because you need to feel supported.
We love offering high touch communication, because we know numbers aren't your thing.
That looks like: emails, DM's, voice memos, personalised snail mail (if that's your style)
The result? You finally feel supported.
"Couldn't recommend a better accountant"
"I've been working with Kirsten since the start of the year, she is nothing but fantastic.
Incredible communication, and makes the entire tax & GST process so simple, managing it all for me.
She's always on hand to answer any of those little questions that pop up, and I always look forward to our regular catch ups.
Kirsten takes the boring out of accounting & tax and instead empowers you."

Hi, I'm Kirsten
And yes I'm an accountant, but I promise I'm not boring
I used to work in multi million dollar firms
They were soulless, and very quickly I realised a problem.
Growth was based on adding more and more clients without adding more support.
There was minimal contact and clients were frustrated.
For me? That didn't work.
I felt like a square peg in a round hole.
So I vowed my own accountancy practice would be different.
I'd offer high-touch support, actually respond to emails and give clients plenty of support and loads of notice about tax bills (goodbye nasty tax surprises!)
