Our Services

Helping midwives and small business owners stay compliant, confident and in control of their finances.

  • Annual Financial Statements

    We prepare professionally formatted financial statements that clearly reflect your business performance. Whether you're a sole trader, company, or trust, these reports are crafted to meet IRD and banking requirements, and to give you insights that support decision-making.

  • Annual Tax Returns

    We handle all aspects of your annual tax return, from gathering records to lodging with IRD. Our goal is to ensure every allowable deduction is claimed and your obligations are met, reducing the risk of penalties and giving you peace of mind.

    We also send reminders about tax payment dates so you stay on track and avoid late fees.

  • GST Returns & Filing

    We manage your GST from start to finish, including reconciliations, adjustments, and filing. Whether you file monthly, two-monthly, or six-monthly, we ensure your returns are accurate, on time, and fully IRD-compliant.

    We send reminders ahead of each GST deadline to help you plan your payments.

  • IRD Correspondence & Arrangements

    We act as your intermediary with IRD, dealing with tax debt arrangements, overdue filings, and formal responses. Our experience helps avoid miscommunication and get outcomes that work for both you and IRD.

  • IRD Tax Relief Applications

    We support you through the process of applying for tax relief options, including instalment arrangements, write-offs, and hardship applications. Our goal is to reduce stress and help you stay compliant during tough times.

  • Companies Annual Returns

    We ensure your company’s annual return is filed correctly and on time with the Companies Office. We’ll also help maintain your shareholder and director records so your business remains in good standing.

    We send reminders each year so you never miss your Companies Office filing deadline.

  • Tax Planning & Budgeting

    We help you forecast your tax liabilities and set realistic budgets. This proactive approach ensures you’re never caught off guard by tax bills and can make informed decisions throughout the year.

    We also offer guidance on tax-efficient strategies like offsetting mortgages and how to structure your finances as a tax trader to keep more of what you earn.

    We provide reminders for provisional tax payments and other key dates based on your plan.

  • Cash Flow Forecasting

    Our cash flow forecasting service uses actuals from your accounting system to create forward-looking projections. This is particularly useful for loan applications, business planning, or just gaining better visibility into future income and expenses.

  • Trust Annual Returns

    Trusts have unique reporting requirements. We handle everything from annual financial statements to IR6 filings, ensuring transparency and compliance. We also help with structuring and beneficiary distributions where needed.

  • Filing Māori Authority Credits

    Māori Authority Credits require special handling. We prepare and file the necessary documentation with IRD to ensure your credits are processed correctly, whether you're an individual recipient or managing an authority.

  • Rental Returns – Portfolios and Airbnb

    We manage all aspects of rental accounting, including long-term lets and Airbnb properties. Our service includes depreciation schedules, expense tracking, and tax optimisation strategies to maximise your property investment returns.

  • Filing for Not-for-Profits and Charities

    We understand the unique tax rules for not-for-profits and charities. Our service ensures that your organisation remains compliant, meets filing deadlines, and maintains eligibility for tax exemptions and other benefits.

  • Maternity Leave Planning for Sole Traders
