Ashton Wheelans is a firm of chartered accountants and business advisers at 2/83 Victoria Street in the central city. The website calls it a Xero platinum partner in the South Island, and it builds real-time dashboards that link to accounting software. Its services cover accounting and tax, audit and risk, business growth, insolvency and business recovery, agri business, Māori organisations and NZ clubs. The firm serves Christchurch, Central Otago and the West Coast, and the website says it has recently expanded to Oamaru. Within a kilometre there are six other accountant listings, including Baker Tilly Staples Rodway, 0.3 km away, which has 18 reviews.
Customers say the firm is professional and thorough, and that it has put their financial affairs in order. One customer, who has owned businesses in both the UK and New Zealand, says the team is among the most thorough they have known. Another says the team really knows its stuff and has helped them save money. The website also describes an IRD Enquiry Audit Shield, which covers the costs of a Inland Revenue enquiry or audit.
