Budgeting and cashflow forecasting play an important role in business performance management. A good budget allows you to set financial targets and measure your performance, and cashflow management enables you to predict how much money will be available to your business at certain points in time.
Would you like a CFO but don’t have the resources to employ one? A virtual CFO (also known as outsourced accounting or outsourced finance function) is an external resource engaged to support with some, or all, of the financial functions of a company. We can provide you with access to an advisor who can help drive your business’s success.
There are many different ways to structure your business, each with different legal and financial obligations. Not having the right ownership structure in place for a business can result in poor asset protection or paying higher taxes than necessary.
Management reporting allows you to measure business performance against key performance indicators (KPIs) on a periodic basis. Your management reports need to be tailored to your individual needs and we can work with you to establish KPIs specific to your business.
Estate planning is a way of ensuring that the assets you own and the wealth you have created are passed on to your beneficiaries in the most financially efficient and tax effective way possible.
Succession planning is becoming increasingly important to many business owners as they plan for retirement. A well thought out succession plan allows you to maximise the potential value in the business at the time of its sale.
Effective governance is vital for any business. Governance is the oversight and activities of the governing body that sets the strategic direction and goals of the organisation. A key aspect of this is developing sustainable long-term strategies.
We are experts in utilising some of the most innovative software solutions and cloud-based applications on the market. Whether you want to automate manual processes or you’re looking for specialised industry software, we can help you to enhance your business’s operations.
Our network is committed to being recognised for the genuine care we have for our people, clients, and community, and we are dedicated to actions that will establish us as a responsible business.
Do you have debtors who continually pay their invoices late – or worse still, don’t pay at all? If you don’t have the time to go through the lengthy process of contacting them regularly and reminding them to make payments, we can do this for you.

Nexia Christchurch provide monthly reports and help us track how we’re performing against our budget and previous years. They’re very good at presenting ideas that could improve the bottom line and making sure we’re operating on a sound financial base.
Behind the scenes, strong financial oversight also plays an important role in the company’s stability and growth. Mike Medlicott from Nexia Christchurch has provided valuable financial insights and strategic guidance.
“Chris Greenslade at Nexia Christchurch has been our accountant from day one, ensuring that we’re well managed and looked after. Whether it’s trialling new software or ensuring we remain tax compliant, Chris and the Nexia team have been amazing.”
“Nexia New Zealand are leading the way in financial management and ensuring that businesses are supported and provided with the most reliable financial advice available.”
“I’ve found Michelle from Nexia Hawke’s Bay a breath of fresh air to work with. She’s been very constructive and brings fresh thinking from outside the industry. She supported us through some very challenging times, including COVID and the devastation from Cyclone Gabrielle, helping with cash flows, insurance, and giving us the confidence to secure further finance. Her guidance has been invaluable in helping our business grow, from increasing production and expanding our orchards to investing in new pack house technology and planning for succession.”
“It’s a partnership we truly value. The team at Nexia don’t just review our finances, they’re hands on and have visited our offices to train our in-house accountants and pass on their valuable insights. That sort of service isn’t offered by every firm, and it sums up why we have utmost faith in their ability to deliver quality, accurate work.
Nexia’s helped us to save money, make more informed decisions and ultimately grow our business. That means we’re able to support more people to visit or live in New Zealand and contribute to our economy and culture.”
“After sharing our struggles to a business-savvy friend, they recommended we reach out to Nexia. Acting on that advice was one of the best decisions we’ve made in recent years.
Nexia’s guidance has been instrumental. They transitioned us from a paper-based system into the digital age, enhancing our efficiency and positioning us for future success.
Our journey with Nexia has been transformative. They’ve not only provided exceptional accounting and business advice, but they have also been a constant source of support and guidance through every opportunity and challenge. “The support of Nexia has been instrumental in our business operations.
With the guidance of Christine and her team, we now feel equipped to tackle any challenge and take on every opportunity that comes our way.”
“I’ve been working with Nexia for almost a decade now and their support has been instrumental in our stores’ growth and development”.
“From the early days of setting up businesses to navigating complex financial landscapes, Nexia has been a trusted ally every step of the way. As our needs evolved, Nexia transitioned from a traditional accounting service to a more consultancy role”.
“Their support during the pandemic, offering strategic advice and insights was instrumental in navigating the challenges posed by the unprecedented situation.”
“The size and skillset of the Nexia team is unmatched. Navigating the accounting complexities of this venture was made seamless with Nexia’s guidance and expertise.

“Nexia has been there for us every step of the way, ensuring that we can continue to play a pivotal role in the revitalisation of Christchurch.”
“Nexia has been our financial advisory partner and accountants for over five years. Their service and advice is excellent, but what we like best is their friendly and welcoming approach where stupid questions are never discouraged! Thanks Amanda and the team.”
“Nexia New Zealand has always communicated well with what’s going on in the marketplace; what we should be cautious of, what we should look out for, and potentially where we could go. It’s invaluable when you have a company you work with that you can totally trust..”
Nexia New Zealand have been iFLY Indoor Skydiving NZ’s accounting partner from initial business planning, through construction, launch, growth, international operations and company sale. More recently they have made a seemingly helpless covid environment manageable, giving our highly impacted tourism business a plan to navigate uncertainty and disruption.
iFLY faced an 80% decline in revenue when NZ’s international borders closed in March 2020. Nexia were absolutely critical through challenging periods; assisting with tax and financial advice, business planning and scenarios, through to funding support. Working closely with Nexia enabled confidence to act decisively, reinvent our business, manage risk, and front foot a strategy to navigate a complex situation. iFLY was able to adapt, find new markets, retain all employees, and become a multi-award winning business in 2021. Of all our business partnerships I have peace of mind knowing we’re in good hands and when the chips are down Nexia will always have our back!
“Nexia provides that depth of resource, level of professionalism and effective systems that ensure we can continue to transform and grow – it’s an example of a partnership that works extremely well.”
“The Nexia team ‘got us’, in that we’re not your normal business, and with the history and understanding we knew we had a trusted partner.”
“Working closely with Nexia New Zealand has enabled us to gain a better understanding of our business and the functions that make the ‘boat go faster’. Their advice has been personalised, professional and clearly articulated.”
“Moving to Nexia New Zealand was the best business decision we have made in a long time. The service and assistance provided by the firm have far exceeded our expectations. They have helped us implement more robust systems which has significantly helped with the growth of our business. I would certainly recommend them to anyone looking to move their business in a positive direction.”
“Nexia have been embedded in our business from the beginning, they have a deep understanding of our systems and have the horsepower required. They give us confidence we’re ticking the boxes from a compliance perspective, but where they add value is their advisory and business planning expertise.”
“It’s a great comfort knowing we have Nexia in our corner, knowing someone completely understands what is coming in and what is going out from a finance perspective is vital. Jane understands what is at the core of our business – our people – which is perfect for when the big decisions and investments happen. I trust her, and we have complete confidence in her ability and integrity.”
When James Kendall was looking to purchase ITM Matakana he enlisted the help of Nexia New Zealand. “I believed I could do it, but at the time when the economy was at an all-time low I needed someone I could trust to help me.” Kendall says Nexia’s pragmatic approach and honest conversation has made them trusted advisors ever since. “They ask the right questions – not always the ones I want to hear but they do challenge my thinking. Nexia provided advice throughout the acquisition journey, from assessing the viability of the venture to assisting with due diligence and obtaining the necessary funding from the bank.”
“Nexia helped us through a change in shareholding, and since then has played a big part in our success. Christine Johnston and her team have been there every step of the way, right from the planning session, which focused on how my business was going to grow, to my day to day needs of cashflow and general business advice.”
“Having a responsive accounting firm like Nexia New Zealand available to support and answer any questions that I might have, including tax, administration and annual accounting, is a great asset to our business.”
“We’ve been working closely with Nexia on expanding our presence in the American market. They’re an integral part of our growth trajectory, helping with everything from strategy and budgeting, right through to introducing us to the right people in the States. Nexia have been a part of the True Fleece story from day one, so it’s only fitting that they’re now by our side as we embark on this journey into the US market.”
“Craig has not just been a compliance and financial advisor; he always has something of value to add. Be it advice about industry trends, competitor activities and general horticultural market knowledge, he has gone above and beyond.”
“The Nexia New Zealand name had come up a number of times, so we went and checked them out and we liked what we saw. Nexia wants things to deliver benefit to the business and if they can’t see a compelling reason why something should be done, then they won’t do it. For us, that’s probably the most valuable thing about working with them.
“You become accustomed to running a company at a certain size, and when it triples, what used to be adequate is no longer enough. Nexia has been really good at putting the right systems in place for us. In terms of our financial advice from Nexia, I feel like we got a hole in one.”
