Financial statements are important documents to build confidence with your stakeholders and meet regulatory requirements. Understanding and meeting the relevant reporting standards can be complex, particularly if consolidation is required or NZ IFRS standards apply.

We’ll work with you to understand the drivers for your reporting, whether that’s being investor-ready for a capital raise or transaction, informing stakeholders, or meeting regulatory requirements, and tailor our approach accordingly.

We’ll compile your financial statements ensuring compliance with the latest reporting standards and using best practice software. This allows us to efficiently produce the financial statements from your source data using software automation, reducing the risk of error and maintaining data integrity.

If not taken seriously by taxpayers early, risk reviews and investigations by Inland Revenue can become drawn out and difficult to manage. Positions become entrenched, and investigations can expand beyond their original scope. 

We engage dispute resolution specialists early in the course of contentious risk reviews and disputes. This ensures we can control the presentation of any information requested by Inland Revenue, work quickly to understand Inland Revenue's concerns, and then refine and resolve legal issues in a commercial and efficient manner.
