Level 4 of 82 Willis Street in Wellington Central is home to Convex Accounting and its sister firm Convex Legal, so accounting and legal advice sit under one roof. Convex Accounting is a chartered accounting and business advisory firm, established in 2011, serving businesses in Wellington, Porirua and the Hutt Valley, and many clients further afield who work online. Its services are in three parts: compliance, which covers annual financial statements, income tax and GST returns, and payroll and PAYE; a virtual CFO service, with monthly management reporting, cashflow modelling, board packs and KPI tracking; and business advisory, covering structuring, asset protection, wealth and succession planning, and buying, selling or merging a business. The firm is also a Xero specialist. The website says compliance work is on a clear annual fee agreed up front, and that the firm aims to reply to enquiries within one working day.
Clients say the team sees more than the compliance work, and they value the conversations about planning. One café and playland owner says the team helped them plan a second store. Another client, who uses the firm for both business and personal accounts, says it breaks complex financial jargon into plain language.
