What We Offer
Comprehensive accounting and advisory services designed for growing New Zealand businesses.
Why Choose Us
We do things differently, and our clients notice.
Honest Advice, Not Just What You Want to Hear
We'll tell you the truth about your tax position, even when it's uncomfortable. Sometimes the right answer is to pay the tax, bank the profit, and grow the business.
Clarity & Confidence
We turn complex tax and compliance issues into clear, actionable advice. No jargon, no confusion. Just a plan you can actually follow.
Smart, Not Aggressive
We maximise your legitimate deductions and optimise your structure, but we won't put you in a position that invites IRD scrutiny. Smart tax planning means knowing where the line is.
We Hold You Accountable Too
Sometimes the problem isn't your accountant. It's spending habits, poor record-keeping, or unrealistic expectations. We'll help you fix the real issues, not just the tax return.
Tired of Your Accountant? Yeah, We Hear That a Lot.

Formerly trading as Lloyd-West Tax & Advisory
“I have worked with Lloyd-West Tax & Advisory initially as a sole trader (contractor) and now as a medium sized business owner and their accounting and advisory expertise are unparalleled. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is wanting assistance with general accounts or advise on how to expand and grow as a company.”

“I reached out to Jono for accounting advice, and I'm extremely satisfied with the service I received. Jono was able to simplify the accounting advice to tailor to my specific needs and understanding. Jono's responsiveness was amazing and solved my questions in a very timely manner. Thanks so much.”

“Jono goes over and above what I would typically expect from an accountant to provide a top service. I enjoy his proactive nature and highly recommend him to any other business looking for a new accountant!”

“I would highly recommend Jono to anyone looking for an accountant and advisor. He took on the challenge and diligently cleaned up two years of business transactions and found that I had significantly overpaid tax which he claimed back on my behalf. He also guided me through the mortgage process, managing the complexities of being self-employed. I am looking forward to our future dealings!”

“I heard about this company from word of mouth from a friend as I was in the process of starting my own business off shore and needed solid business advise around business structure, tax and importing/duty implications. I made an appointment, spoke with Jono by phone, talked through my ideas and questions and received a comprehensive professional report about all my business options. I can not stress enough how amazing the report was for me in making business decisions. Service is definitely good value for money and affordable!”
