A good accountant does more than file a return. They keep your records in order, explain what you owe and why, and help you plan ahead for GST, provisional tax, payroll and cash flow so deadlines do not catch you out. For a small business, ask how they work with accounting software such as Xero or MYOB, what is included in a fixed fee and how often you will hear from them. In New Zealand, check whether the accountant is a Chartered Accountant or a member of a professional body, which gives you recourse if something goes wrong. Regulars keep receipts and bank feeds up to date through the year, share documents early and ask questions before big decisions such as buying a vehicle or taking on staff.
Colombo Street is a main road through Sydenham, so this practice suits small businesses and households in south Christchurch.
