I offer transparent, fixed-fee pricing — no surprise bills or hourly rate shock. Fees vary depending on the complexity of your situation and the services you need. Every engagement starts with a free consultation where I'll provide a clear, written quote before any work begins.
Switching accountants is straightforward and I handle everything for you. Once you engage ASU, I'll contact your previous accountant to obtain your records and ensure a smooth handover. There's typically no disruption to your accounting during the transition.
Absolutely — it's one of the most common situations I help with. I can work with IRD to file overdue returns, negotiate payment arrangements for any tax owing, and get you back on track. The sooner you act, the fewer penalties you'll accumulate, so don't delay getting in touch.
Yes! The majority of my work is done remotely via phone, video call, and through cloud-based tools like Xero. I work with clients across New Zealand — from Northland to Invercargill — and distance is no barrier to receiving excellent service.
I recommend Xero for most businesses and can set it up and support you ongoing. I also support MYOB and can work with you on a range of other platforms. If you're using spreadsheets, I can help you migrate to a cloud-based solution that will save you significant time.
I can usually onboard new clients within 3–5 business days of completing the initial consultation and engagement process. For urgent matters — like IRD deadlines or overdue returns — I'll prioritise accordingly.
Absolutely. All client information is treated with strict confidentiality in accordance with my privacy policy and the highest professional standards. I use encrypted, secure cloud systems for all data storage and communication.
