It pays to hire a Chartered Accountant

In today's complex business environment, getting the right advice can mean the difference between success and failure.  Chartered Accountants are experts up-to-date on the latest business issues and committed to ongoing professional education. Hiring (or engaging) a Chartered Accountant is a smart investment and your assurance of quality and expertise.

Anyone can call themselves an accountant, but only a Chartered Accountant is:

  • a member of the New Zealand Institute of Chartered Accountants
  • required to undertake mandatory professional development training
  • bound by our code of ethics and is required to adhere to professional standards
  • subject to our disciplinary procedures
  • trained for a minimum of seven years to achieve this professional qualification
  • subject to three-yearly review of their professional practices (where they offer services to the public).
