Alliott NZ ranked in Top 30 accounting firms in New Zealand for second year running

A compilation of New Zealand’s top accounting firms has shone a light on the contribution made by NZ accountants. Accounting firms in New Zealand were ranked for the second time and the Top 30 list was published yesterday in Sunday Star-Times, in partnership with Fairfax Media and Chartered Accountants Australia & New Zealand (CAANZ).

A key theme for CAANZ is exploring the increasingly important role of digital innovation, technological disruption and the future of reporting.

Alliott NZ Directors Greg Millar and Vanessa Williams said, “Alliott NZ has enjoyed an immensely exciting year integrating the Alliott BW team into our business. We only have our team and our clients to thank for inspiring us every day and allowing us to benchmark alongside the country’s top firms.”

“We’ve enjoyed high uptake of our business advisory services and partnering with some pretty amazing tech stack providers who have allowed us to become more efficient and streamlined in our delivery, culminating in our firm becoming Xero Platinum Partners last month.”

Peter Vial, the New Zealand country head of CAANZ, said the accountancy profession is changing in the face of digital disruption, and trust is key to accountants' futures:

"In a traditional sense, you would see your accountant in relation to your annual report, and your tax return. But that whole business model is changing. Accountants are moving away from just doing the numbers. People will see their accountants about those things, but they will also be seeking strategic planning advice, valuation advice. It's an ongoing relationship that's really important and requires a deeper ongoing relationship built on trust."
