New Zealand

The professional services sector covers nearly every market segment of our economy, including; accounting and legal, technical, scientific, design, communications, IT, and recruitment.

Although a diverse sector, businesses in this area are often faced with similar challenges and opportunities.

Technological change and a global shift towards a more service based economy present both national and cross-border opportunities for growth.

At the same time, a weakened economy and restricted credit can put pressure on cash flow and revenue. Directors and business owners are faced with the competing demands of streamlining costs, mitigating risk and attracting and retaining high-skilled talent.

As your firm grows you need an advisor that understands these complexities.

Our advisors take the time to determine your short, medium and long term strategic direction. Doing so enables us to provide concise, relevant advice to help you achieve your goals.

So whether you’re a legal practice, PR guru, architect or IT specialist we can help. Some of the services we provide are:

  • Audit, accounting and tax compliance
  • Outsourced accounting
  • Economic forecasting and budgeting
  • Management reporting, KPIs and benchmarking
  • Salary packaging and executive remuneration
  • Exit and succession planning
  • Structuring and restructuring for growth
  • Risk management

Agribusiness

A diverse industry that contributes significantly to New Zealand’s economy, Agribusiness is up against an increasing number of challenges to operating profitably. We can help you navigate the impacts of shifting tax legislating, a fluctuating economy and variable commodity prices to reach results at each stage of your business’ lifecycle.

Education

New Zealand’s ever-changing and competitive education sector is experiencing a period of both growth and disruption. New service models emerged throughout the pandemic along with changing demands from parents and students. Our experienced advisors can assist you to meet these demands and leverage opportunities for expansion both here and internationally.

Health

Rapidly accelerating technological developments, a growing and ageing population, increasing demands from patients for affordable and remote services, a lack of substantial funding and impacts of a continuing pandemic are just some of the challenges this vital sector is up against. Despite the potential issues caused by these challenges, they also present opportunity.

Hospitality & Tourism

Acute workforce shortages and unstable supply chains continue to threaten our hospitality and tourism industries, which bore the brunt of New Zealand’s response to the pandemic. Nevertheless, the sectors are demonstrating considerable resilience and face a prosperous future as borders reopen and consumer confidence improves.

Manufacturing

Government incentives, industry reforms and the emergence of Advanced Manufacturing are all driving a revived manufacturing industry with vast opportunities. Meanwhile, an increasing number of industry associations aim to support the sector by boosting productivity, improving competitiveness and enhancing sustainability.

Not for Profit

Good corporate governance, flexibility and an understanding of changing regulatory requirements are the keys to success in New Zealand’s purpose-driven not for profit sector. Highly collaborative organisations work with government entities and private businesses to make long lasting impact and deliver for New Zealanders.

Property & Construction

Enhancing the strain of permeating supply chain issues are complex regulatory challenges, project delays, labour shortages and reduced demand for commercial spaces. However, rising house prices are driving an increase in construction as are low interest rates and inbound investment.

Retail & Wholesale

Largely consisting of SME businesses, New Zealand’s highly competitive retail and wholesale industry attracts players from many overseas markets. While the pandemic had markedly different impacts on the various subsectors of the industry, eCommerce benefitted from the temporary shutdown of physical stores and increased online shopping – a trend which has continued.
