Tax and accounting.

However, good accountants and good tax advice is crucial to ensuring that your business is performing.

We can help with:

  • Preparation of annual financial statements

  • Budgeting and Forecasting

  • Filing your IRD returns such as Income Tax, GST and FBT

  • Management accounting support

  • Structuring your affairs to maximise tax efficiency

  • Payroll

  • Bookkeeping and administration

  • Other tax and accounting support

Cloud accounting.

Xero has changed the way accountants do business.At Hudson Taylor we recognise the importance of cloud based accounting systems. We were an early adopter of Xero and have transitioned hundreds of clients to cloud based systems. Every business is different but through our vast experience we can suggest a tailored solution to meet your needs.

Some of the systems we have used:

  • Xero

  • Quickbooks

  • Netsuite

  • Workflow Max

  • Smart Payroll

  • Flexitime

Outsourced finance functions.

We provide a Virtual CFO service. This provides you with specialist financial advice and gives you the scalability to grow your finance team as your business expands. With the explosion of Xero and other cloud systems, accounting firms can now work more closely, and in real-time with their clients. Outsourcing a finance function means reducing part, or all, of your finance staff and replacing it with expertise from Hudson Taylor. The benefit is a reduction in cost, a reduction in employee head count and an increase in the level of expertise in the finance function. Hudson Taylor can provide a full outsourced finance function.

Some of the benefits are:

  • A reduction in cost of the finance function

  • Improvement in business processes by Hudson Taylor providing “best practice”

  • Access to senior Hudson Taylor staff

  • Faster turnaround time in the finance team

  • Increased time to focus on other parts of the business

  • Succession planning

  • Asset protection
