Our team

Experienced accountants who look at the whole business.

Pillar is more than experienced chartered accountancy. The team looks at the big picture from both a financial perspective and the wellness of the organisation as a whole.

Why work with us.

At Pillar, business is more than financial performance. The team works with owners to develop strategic solutions that suit the business and its people, then supports implementation with training, advice and practical experience.

The directors bring finance and accounting experience from large corporates in New Zealand, Australia and China, with a passion for helping smaller businesses manage finances, grow and focus on what they do best.
