Risk Management

By minimising the risk a business or individual faces, the greater the opportunity for an improved outcome and result.

If you’re having sleepless nights about a number of risks knocking on the front door of your business, remember ‘a problem shared, is a problem halved’.

Where risk immediately implies a negative connation, here at Nexia New Zealand the term ‘risk’ also means opportunity. Risks of course are significant to a business – they have the ability to decrease profitability, impact upon the customer base, impact productivity; but they also provide opportunities for greater growth, increased levels of stakeholder engagement, and the ability to develop advantageous awareness of the business unit within a market place.

At Nexia New Zealand, Risk Management is two-fold:

We minimise the risk of the business through analysis of the business environment and strategic alternatives.
We take advantage of identified opportunities to increase efficiencies, build productivity and profitability.

Our Risk Management services and strategies incorporate:

Business and environmental risk assessments
Succession planning
Trust formation
Insurance requirements
ACC portfolio management

Nexia New Zealand will give you back the power that risk has eroded from you – and let you get back to a full night’s sleep while the business mitigates the imminent threats and prospers.

Business Advisory

What our clients are saying

Two of New Zealand’s leading football administrators are at the helm of this success story, Bill Cowen and Craig Rhodes. Walker Industries is an inspiring tale.

Bill and Josie Cowen bought their first business in March 2010, in tumultuous earthquake laden times. With their new business premises destroyed and amidst the complexities of trading in a post earthquake city, Nexia NZ were there to provide support and to help these business owners navigate their way through the murky waters this event generated.

“Working closely with Nexia NZ has enabled us to gain a better understanding of our business and the functions that make the ‘boat go faster’. Their advice has been both personalised and professional and clearly articulated. Craig has provided tremendous support for our business.”

Today they have a thriving commercial entity with solid foundations and a bright future ahead of them as one of Christchurch’s promising manufacturing businesses.

What our clients are saying

Lindsay and Marie-Louise Winchester have been clients of Nexia NZ for over 10 years.

Their initial approach was to seek the advice and expertise of Mike Medlicott, Director, whose in-depth knowledge of the farming sector proved to be invaluable.

Mike assisted the Winchesters with the strategic development of their farm until early 2014 and further when the Winchesters moved onto another business, Copyland Digital Print.

Since that change of direction Nexia NZ have continued to provide financial guidance and accounting expertise, evidence of their versatility in assisting clients in a range of businesses. Services are provided on a personal basis, such as their complimentary client review to improve business direction and long term profitability.

What our clients are saying

Casey Thompson & Robin Curtis embarked on a 10-year journey to clean up the building industry and develop a solution that wasn’t only better for the environment, but also better for your health. The team at Health-Based Building have achieved this by developing a range of sustainable materials. These include high-performance breathable wall systems, solvent-free paint, natural wool insulation, low impact-treated framing, and exterior claddings, all of which are 100% recyclable and nasty chemical free.

Throughout this journey, the Health-Based Building team has had the support of their trusted Accountants and Business Advisors, Nexia New Zealand. “They’ve 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 & business planning expertise” says Robin.

The future is very positive for the Health-Based Building team, government agencies are taking note of what they are doing, and key players in the industry recognise that Health-Based Building is years ahead of the competition. “It’s exciting times; we’re working hard to educate the builders and architects. We're also looking to ramp up our operation and will be looking at our options around capital raising in 2019.” says Casey “So having a trusted partner like Nexia will become even more important for us over the next 5-10 years”.

“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,” says Charmaine. “But Jane also 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”.
