Accounting services NZ small businesses rely on
Every client is different, so the accounting services NZ clients use from us are simple and flexible. Some people only need a one-off tax return. Others prefer a monthly package that covers their accounts, tax returns, GST and support all year. Either way, you get a fixed fee agreed upfront and a dedicated accountant who knows your situation.
Individual and sole trader tax returns (IR3)
For contractors, sole traders and anyone with untaxed income, we prepare and file your IR3, claim every deduction you are entitled to and deal with Inland Revenue for you. See our IR3 tax return service.
Rental property tax returns
Landlords report rental income and expenses every year. We work out your rental income, interest and allowable expenses and include them in your tax return, following the IRD rules.
Company tax return NZ and annual accounts
For companies, we prepare annual financial statements and the company tax return NZ businesses must file each year (IR4), along with shareholder salaries and imputation credits. See our company tax return service.
Trust tax returns (IR6)
For family and business trusts, we prepare the trust’s financial statements and IR6 return, and help trustees record beneficiary distributions correctly. See our trust tax return service.
Monthly accounting packages
Our Essentials, Standard and Premium packages combine your annual accounts, income tax return, GST returns, software and support in one fixed monthly fee. Contact us or view our pricing to get started.
Which accounting services do most clients need?
Most individuals and sole traders need an annual tax return (IR3). Companies need financial statements and an IR4, and trusts need an IR6. If you want help all year, a monthly accounting package covers your accounts, GST returns and support.
