Construct Ltd

– Graeme Parlane

“Vazey Child take care of all our accounting needs, running our accounts every quarter so we can be kept informed and run the business smoothly. Paul provides sound business advice during our monthly meetings, as well as being actively involved with our cashflow on a monthly basis. Vazey Child have been key to our company growth since we started with them over 20 years ago, as we began with 2 employees and have grown to between 30-40, and we know they have our backs through the good and more challenging times. The team are creative, innovative, on schedule and always act in a professional manner. I also appreciate their forward planning, with our meetings scheduled in early for the upcoming year.”

 
 
 

Te Awhi Whanau Charitable Trust

– Laurie Hakiwai

“Vazey Child work with us on our monthly and annual reports, and provide sound business advice when we’re looking at new opportunities including bidding for new contracts. Tricia is part of our responding team, and she and the Vazey Child team understands our business intimately through processing our accounts. We’ve recently won a large contract that doubles our income, and Vazey Child were integral to that success, helping us develop budgets and giving the board confidence to approach the banks for funding.

As a small Māori NGO, Vazey Child have really helped us understand our cashflow, how we can streamline our finances and how to set our budgets for the upcoming year. They do this by coming in with the financial analytic grunt to support our thinking, and Tricia’s experience in trusts and NGOs gives her a wide knowledge base to draw upon. We also can’t fault the friendly and responsive service Vazey Child provides.”

 
 
 

C&R Developments Limited

– Tim Ross

“We’ve been working with Vazey Child for 20 years, with Philip Child and then Steve Rae. They take care of a variety of different services for us, such as month to month profit and loss, debtors, cashflow and wages. This means they know our financials inside and out, and they have been critical in working with us to implement new business reporting systems so we can better understand how our company is tracking. They really take care and work in with our team well – we also meet with them regularly to put financial plans and budgets in place.”

 
 
 

Duck Island Ice Cream

– Cameron Familo

“We’ve been engaged with Vazey Child for more than ten years now, from when we had our previous restaurant business to now with Duck Island. With the restaurant, they took care of our yearly accounting needs and provided early business advice to ensure we were profitable. They were also able to work through the process of selling the restaurant with us to ensure the best outcome. Now with Duck Island, we meet monthly with the team to make sure we are on top of what is happening in the business. To keep up with the company’s growth, Vazey Child have helped put systems such as payroll in place to ensure everything runs smoothly, and changed us over from MYOB to Xero. The insights Vazey Child provide give us confidence to grow the business, and the team provide great support as well as being easy to work with and professional.”

 
 
 

McAra Air Conditioning Limited

– Jim Fitzgerald

“I’ve been working with Vazey Child (and its predecessors) since 1980. In addition to the usual annual tax compliance work, they process the payroll for our executive team, provide support for our accounting software and take care of our monthly reporting. Having access to accurate monthly results is really valuable. It helps us keep an eye on things, and gives me piece of mind knowing we’re in a good place financially, particularly when many in our industry don’t survive as long as we have. Trish and the Vazey Child team always provide efficient service and good timely advice.”
