WHERE THIS COVERS

Hawke’s Bay, town by town

Say the town in your request. NovaPay asks businesses working near it first rather than the whole region, so the quotes you get back are from people who will actually come.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Do Napier and Hastings businesses cover both?
Most do — it is a twenty-minute drive and the two run as one market. Central Hawke’s Bay is further and a small job there may carry a travel charge, which the quote states.
How much does an accountant cost in NZ?
It depends on the structure and the state of your records far more than on the accountant. A sole trader return and a company with a rental and a trust are different pieces of work. Ask for a fixed annual fee rather than an hourly rate where you can.
Do I need a chartered accountant?
Not for most small business work, but CA or CPA membership means the person is qualified, insured and subject to a professional body. Ask which they hold before you engage them.
Can I change accountants mid-year?
Yes, and it is more routine than people expect. Your new accountant will normally request your records from the previous one directly.
When are New Zealand tax returns due?
For most individuals and businesses the return is due by 7 July for the year ended 31 March, though registering with a tax agent usually extends that. Your accountant will confirm the date that applies to you.
