Testimonials

Peter Clark Fluid Recruitment

"As well as giving us advice on the best way to structure the company, providing advice from a tax perspective, and in terms of cashflow management, Jono and his team have also helped with Xero training and ensuring the right payroll structures are in place.”

Neil Harraway Monarch Wildlife Cruises & Tours

“Chris has helped us with several aspects of the business, such as accessing Regional Business Partner vouchers, then specialised ‘crisis survival’ advice, wage-subsidy and STAPP funding advice, forecasting assistance and negotiating with our bank.”




Justin McEntyre Contego Systems

"Howard's our details guy – he always knows what’s happening at a detailed level. He has a great handle on our business, and terrific recall about all our key transactions, often better than me!

“We know we are in safe hands with Howard and Ken watching over us.”




Steve & Linda Mitchell Mr Whippy Central Otago

"Ben has a way of explaining things that really makes sense. He’s always positive. Even when things weren’t going smoothly, he could always put a positive spin on things, and we really appreciated it.

We signed up for PKF’s Contingency Plan when Covid hit – It helped us to figure out what we needed to do to get through when we couldn’t work.”




Julie Walker MediTrain Otago

“Howard speaks my language. And by that I don’t mean using fancy accounting terms! He gives it to me straight.

I’m pretty independent but being able to talk things over with him and discuss how the business is tracking on a regular basis is extremely helpful."




Sandra Alexander The Bakery, Alexandra

“If it wasn’t for them, I’d be drowning in paperwork...I reckon they’ve saved me thousands over the years.

Having PKF accountants working closely with me has given me back my peace of mind."

Glen Riley Habitat Restorations Aotearoa

"I may not be their typical client, but they're interested in what I do, and actively want to help me grow my business.

Without PKF's help I would have ended up under an avalanche of paperwork. They've really helped me come to grips with using Xero, managing cashflow and digital time sheets."

Ninette Smit Pacific International Insurance, NSW Australia

"Thank you very much for your quick and extremely helpful assistance. We really appreciate being able to count on your guidance and support, all given on short notice. You have been a real life-saver!”

Nimish Deo Fire Design Solutions

"The support we received from PKF was brilliant. It's helped us think about how to do business smarter and how to refine and streamline our systems and processes.

After adopting Xero, tasks such as invoicing, that previously took an  entire day - can now be completed in an hour.”

Steven Turner Who Ate All The Pies?

"For 10 years Jono’s expertise has been called upon to help the business - be it a robust business plan to allow further growth or assist in securing a couple of refinances and an upgrade in operations.  "Jono’s showed me where I was missing some tricks. And having the flexibility to dial down PKF’s responsibilities without losing the continuity of service entirely, really helped.”

Adam Letts Sportsmed Mosgiel

"With GST, income tax, invoicing and a buy out to set up and sort out, PKF has always been available to find a solution to a problem. A good accountant is critical to the successful running of a business - and their input has been invaluable in giving me new ideas to grow the business."

Jeannie Hayden Wild Dunedin
Festival 

"PKF provide pro bono accounting services as their way of supporting the annual festival. Their specialist accounting knowledge means we don’t have to dip into our budget. We also benefit from the firm’s collective experience for guidance, decision making, reporting and tax compliance."

Selwyn Grave Hairdresser & Mens Gifts

"Some time ago Peter convinced me to adopt new technology, and he was right - we couldn’t do without it now. One day when I’m ready to sell the business, PKF will have everything in order.
