Not necessarily.
Because we service the whole of New Zealand but are based in Auckland, we can do everything online through emails and your own personalised client portal. Even documentation signing can be done online.

We work with whatever you have got.
Most of our packages include a Xero subscription - dependent on the client's size and profile.
If we believe that your life may become easier with some software - we will suggest it.
