Having worked in an accounting office before I appreciate our association with Milnes Beatson. Riverside Community Trust Board has a long history with Milnes Beatson and they have helped with the conversion to Xero and assisted with our annual audits.

They have a wealth of knowledge in their team and are always approachable and happy to help. In particular Chelsea Pannett, our client manager, has been very professional and is always quick to respond with sound advice.

The Riverside Community Trust Board looks forward to continuing their partnership with Milnes Beatson.

Chelsea, Trudi and the team at Milnes Beatson have been nothing short of remarkable. I started a small business in early 2022 and on the recommendation of a trusted friend, approached Milnes Beatson to take care of my accounts. They have held my hand and guided me through every step of setting up Xero accountancy software, training in using it, GST & IRD matters, wages, company registration – everything. Not only that, but they have made themselves available for tuition and guidance outside of their normal office hours to fit with my work schedule. In addition, they have been instrumental in helping me secure a home loan during a difficult separation. I can’t recommend the service, skill, patience and willingness to go above and beyond, too highly. Thank you to everyone there. You have my business for life!

Running a business has many challenges and I seem to have experienced a few of late so it has been just wonderful to have the support of the Milnes Beatson team to help me through.

Grant is always there for me, no matter the challenge and, while I don’t mean to single out just one person, his Tax Manager Cath has been a massive help to me this year especially.  I had some problems with Inland Revenue’s new system and was feeling harassed, but Cath calmly (as always) went through it with me and fixed it up with IR.  It means a lot as she does not have to go beyond the call of duty but does – every time.

I am sure you know how great she is but, often we don’t hear the positives about our employees.  And she is a real gem.
