About thrive accounting

Thrive Business Accountants Ltd is a business accounting firm based in New Brighton, Christchurch. The firm aims to provide advice when a business needs it, not just when asked, and builds a one-on-one relationship with each client so that advice is tailor-made for their business.

Thrive has developed its traditional auditing and accounting practices into more client-focused services, with a focus on flexibility and adaptability to help clients get the best results. The team works across general business services, specialist areas such as charitable trusts and rental properties, tax and audit services, and online accounting software support.

The firm works with both MYOB and Xero, offering a free Accounting Software Needs Analysis to help clients choose the right software for their business, skill level and budget, followed by setup, training and ongoing support. The team has experience with a wide range of accounting software beyond MYOB and Xero as well.

Thrive Business Accountants: Tailored Accounting in New Brighton, Christchurch

Advice Before You Have to Ask

Thrive Business Accountants Ltd, based in New Brighton, Christchurch, is built around a simple philosophy: provide advice when a business needs it, not just when the client asks for it. That proactive approach is paired with a one-on-one relationship with each client, so the advice given is genuinely tailored to the business in question rather than generic.

From Traditional Accounting to Client-Focused Services

The firm has taken its traditional auditing and accounting foundations and developed them into more innovative, client-focused services. Flexibility and adaptability are central to how the team works, aiming to help clients get the best possible results regardless of the size or stage of their business.

A Broad Range of Business Services

Thrive's core business services cover the everyday needs of running a company - bookkeeping and accounting, budgeting, cash flow forecasting, payroll services, strategic planning and tax administration. The firm also supports businesses through start-up, financing and management consulting, giving clients a single point of contact across multiple areas of their operations.

Specialist Areas

Beyond general business accounting, Thrive offers specialist services covering business growth strategy, buying and selling a business, charitable trusts, estate and trust accounting, not-for-profit accounting, NZ non-resident accounting, and residential and commercial rental property accounting. This breadth means the firm can support clients with more complex or niche accounting needs, not just standard small business bookkeeping.

Tax and Audit Services

On the tax side, Thrive handles FBT, GST, income tax, NZ non-resident tax, and payroll/PAYE and associated taxes, giving clients a single firm to manage their full tax obligations.

Helping Clients Choose the Right Software

Choosing accounting software can be daunting, so Thrive offers a free Accounting Software Needs Analysis to help clients find the right fit for their budget, skill level and business needs. The firm works closely with both MYOB and Xero, and once the right software is identified, can quickly get it installed and set up, followed by training and ongoing support as clients learn to use their new system. The team's experience extends beyond MYOB and Xero to a wide range of other accounting software used by small and medium businesses, whether online or PC/Mac based.
