Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our accounting and tax services.

This depends on your risk profile, expected income, and long-term goals. Sole traders have simpler compliance but unlimited personal liability. Limited companies offer asset protection and tax planning flexibility. We'll analyze your specific situation and recommend the best structure for your circumstances.
You must register for GST if your turnover exceeds $60,000 in any 12-month period, or if you expect it to. Even if you're below this threshold, voluntary registration can be beneficial for claiming GST on business expenses. We'll help you determine the optimal timing.
After registering your company, you'll need your certificate of incorporation, IRD number, and identification documents. We guide you through the process and can recommend banks with favorable terms for new businesses.
Key obligations include registering as an employer with IRD, setting up PAYE deductions, contributing to KiwiSaver, maintaining accurate time and wage records, and ensuring compliance with employment law. Our payroll services handle all of this seamlessly.
Company registration with the Companies Office typically takes 1-3 business days. IRD registration can take 2-5 days. With our streamlined process, most clients are fully set up and ready to trade within 1-2 weeks.
We recommend cloud-based solutions like Xero or MYOB for most NZ businesses. The best choice depends on your industry, transaction volume, and integration needs. We provide personalized recommendations and complete setup assistance.
