We believe in ten years, there will be no such thing as accountants

Nathan Maisey

Nathan has a positive and casual demeanor which allows him to offer practical advice for everyday businesses in a way they actually understand. From time to time you‘ll even catch him in a tee-shirt. He prides himself in not being a “typical accountant” and you’ll realise this as soon as you meet him. His experience over the last 12 years has ranged from SME business advisory to corporate level accounting, so he has a wealth of knowledge to call upon.

Nathan is currently out of the office on his sabbatical.

Peter Harris

Peter once dreamt of being an All Black: “There’s still a chance,” he says. Passionate about sport he is also just as passionate about enabling clients’ success. We consider his technical ability a pretty big strength and his casual but professional approach means he is able to portray typically boring accounting jargon in a way that business owners understand and from this he helps them formulate plans for the future.

Rory McKenzie

Rory is a Fully Qualified CA with over 10 years experience, he’s worked with a wide range of people over the years and really enjoys creating that personal relationship we believe you should have with your trusted advisors.

As smart as he is tall; he‘s a relaxed, patient and friendly guy to come in and chat with. Rory has a keen interest in technology so is happy to help with your IT problems or decision making. He has two BFG’s in training which keep him busy but in the downtime he enjoys most sports; especially Football (the one where you only kick it with your foot).

Sarah Wong

Sarah is currently on maternity leave with her second child, a little girl named Ellie. She will be returning in September 2022

Sarah is a self-confessed nerd, with a serious passion for numbers. So much so that she started her career as a maths teacher at a local high school! Sarah has a calm positive and patient demeanour much as you’d expect from a sensei and so she is an absolute asset to our team and our clients alike. Sarah is a fully qualified accountant and has a real passion for helping, don’t hesitate to give her an email if you have any questions at all.
