At Kiwitax, we’ve been providing clients with sound business advice alongside our solid tax and accounting services for over 20 years. So back in 2018, we decided to formalize this part of the business as our Business Improvement services to complement our Tax and Accounting services.
Our business advisors have a wealth of experience in both the doing and the advising sides of business, and with such diverse backgrounds we know you will find an immense amount of value from them. Together they are supported by our team of accountants and tax advisors, so you know you will be getting the absolute best advice for your business.
If you are interested in finding out more about how our business advisory team can help your business, you can request a quote online in just 2 minutes here. For eligible businesses, up to 50% funding may be available for registered Kiwitax Business Improvement courses via the Regional Partners Funding Voucher Scheme, ask us how to apply.
Meet the Team
Emma Lowe
Associate Tax and Business Advisor (ATBA)
Emma has been in the industry and with Kiwitax for over 17 years. While her experience is broad, Emma specializes in Retail and Trade related businesses. “I have a passion for helping small business owners get started on the right foot – setting down realistic and practical business goals and putting myself within their business to work alongside them.” she says.
“I’m able to provide feedback to my clients in plain English and feel it is important for my clients to learn how to read and understand their financial reports and the story they provide about how the business is going. An understanding of their numbers is important to assist them with making decisions around the management of their business.”
“I also like to ensure my clients have a solid cash management plan in place to give them peace of mind that they are on top of their tax obligations as they trade and no tax surprises at year end.”
“I feel it is important for business owners to set time aside to work on their business, bounce ideas off with someone who can provide feedback about what the profit implications will be with any changes the business has.”
Emma lives in Hawke’s Bay with her family and she’s a bit of a netball maven.
Megan Miller
Megan is our go to person for all things rental property related. Her depth of experience means she has heard it all and can help make complicated rental property business questions easy for clients.
“The ever-changing rental legislation landscape means keeping on top of tax obligations can be a bit of a nightmare. I just love to make things easy for them.”
Clients appreciate Megan’s calm and patient approach to dealing with their rental tax questions.
Megan loves cruising with her husband on the weekends in their hotrod.
Jessica Wiringi
Jess is the person responsible for answering our website live chat service. Armed with answers and an ability to juggle multiple conversations, Jess has a broad experience across many different business sectors.
“I get all sorts of tricky questions through Live Chat, but with a background in the accounting team, I enjoy the challenge of helping people to make sense of their tax issues. Clients find it reassuring that we have seen and dealt with most situations”.
Outside of work, Jess enjoys spending time outdoors taking in the sights.
Domonique O’Brien
NZ DipBus, Accounting Technician (AT)
Dom is our client services advisor, responsible for onboarding new clients to Kiwitax. As a CAANZ Accounting Technician, Dom has a solid accounting background which clients can benefit from.
“We know that spending time upfront with new clients helps to ensure a great experience for them. In our onboarding meeting, we end up covering a lot of ground from tax planning, to claiming expenses and record keeping which means that when we introduce them to their accountant, they are ready to hit the ground running.”
Dom likes to don a race suit and helmet on weekends as she races superstock cars all around New Zealand.
