Rural Business Accounting Experts

Meet the Team

We are a vibrant team of Chartered Accountants & Business Advisors who are passionate about Mid Canterbury. Most of our team were born and raised on Mid-Canterbury farms so we like to think that we understand most of the challenges which farming and rural business can present.
