What does an accountant do?
We separate business transactions from personal ones and work out how much tax you need to pay. We know how to legally minimise your total tax bill, provide business advice and help with government assistance.
Having an accountant also gives you a full year to file income tax returns rather than 100 days. We basically deal with IRD on your behalf. If you ever receive a difficult letter or phone call from them, let us know and we will sort it out for you!
