Joe CA Ltd has looked after our businesses financial affairs and our personal accounts for the past four years. I knew Joe was a tax specialist and I was aware he was a highly regarded taxation lecturer in the Bachelor of Accounting at Toi Ohomai in his earlier years. I can not speak highly enough of Joe. His tax knowledge is superior to most in the area, but his real strength lies in his strong business accumen and straight to the point approach. As an ex-accountant myself, I'm very particular with who I work with on financial matters. Joe has never once let me or my family down and I feel very fortunate knowing he is there to provide quality financial advice when we require it.
We couldn’t recommend Joe highly enough! Moving from Spain to New Zealand and setting up a business in a completely new country felt like a daunting process, but Joe made everything so easy and stress-free.
From the very beginning, he was incredibly helpful, supportive and patient, taking the time to guide us through everything and make sure we understood what we needed to do. Having someone we could trust and rely on during such a big transition made a huge difference.
We’re so grateful for all of Joe’s help in getting our business set up and making the whole process feel smooth and straightforward. If you’re looking for an accountant in New Zealand, we would definitely recommend Joe!
All five accounting packages include annual financial statements and applicable entity/owner income tax returns, routine FBT returns where relevant, and basic initial Xero setup/support where appropriate. Xero subscriptions are separate. The main differences are how GST is handled and how often you receive reports and advice.
