“Trish… THANK YOU so much for everything. The outcome is amazing. A year ago our situation seemed dire & we could not see a way out of it. It was just a tremendous worry. I came alone thinking we couldn’t afford accountants… but it turned out we couldn’t afford not to. Although you didn’t make any promises you calmly took things over and pointed us in the right direction.We feel really positive about the future now and it really is like a HUGE weight has been lifted off our shoulders. Once again THANKS so much & we look forward to working with you in the future. I am sure I won’t be quite such a stress bunny now.”

Thanks Trish for doing an awesome job, all good and easy to follow.

Trish took on the mess left by a very incompetent local Accountant, took the time to speak with us to find out how she could help us, kept the lines of communication wide open. Trish very capably unraveled the mess and competently showed us and the IRD that our business was again meeting all our requirements. In our numerous dealings with Trish we have found her to be extremely professional, friendly, a great listener and a very good advisor.

“We asked for help to work through taxation and management problems in our business. This was after asking for help from a number of other professional companies. None of them came through for us. There were times when the pressure and burden of the demands made by IRD were stressful and upsetting. Trish Patterson worked with us to deal with these challenges and at the same time to help to restructure our business systems. We are now on the way to a more secure and robust financial future and the business systems are efficient and meeting essential time frames…”

“Perhaps the most valued service we have had has been their constant availability and support.”

“As a Maori organisation, we have found Accountants Hawkes Bay to be very responsive and understanding to our needs as a business. All reports that we have received from them have been of an exceptional standard but still at a level where the information is easily understood by all our Board members.”

“We have loved working with you – you have been a real strength and encouragement during some really tough periods and we have really enjoyed having you as our accountant. Trish, you are awesome… You are a legend.”

“I have known Brian from Accountants HB for 3 years. He has been absolutely wonderful. Before I started my business 3 years ago I wasn’t sure where to start Brian not only gave me financial guidance but also mentored me and was always available to give advice when needed. He has great understanding and empathy for people from all walks of life! I never thought I could run a business or still be in business but he gave me the encouragement and advice needed and has contributed to our success. I could not rate his service high enough and will definitely recommend to others.”

“As a small business, we have used the services of Accountants Hawkes Bay for some years now. We were not receiving a good result from our last accountant which was not helping our business. We found the Accountants Hawkes Bay in the Yellow Pages and have not looked back since. Trish and her team have been excellent. Providing a trustworthy, professional, friendly communications, and technically competent service. They are accessible, efficient and pro-active. We have no qualms about promoting their service to anyone and do recommend their business. Trish and her team have assisted our business through hard times and made it possible for us to carry on. I was told you need to “click” with your accountant, and Trish and her team have proven that.”

“Thanks for this mornings meeting – I’m certainly a lot happier that things are on track now that you are involved Grahame – I’ve spent a good few sleepless nights about all this over the last few years!”

“I use Accountants Hawkes Bay payroll service, it gives me peace of mind because I know I can rely on them to do the job efficiently.”

“For us, as a business that is busy with the public all day, it has been a huge time saver using Accountants Hawkes Bay payroll services.”
