What our Customers say

For a long time I used the Kiwi Tax GST calculator online and after many years of putting up with sub par (and extremely expensive) accountants (from multi firms) I decided to give Kiwi Tax a call and I wish I had done it 20 years ago!

Kyle Forrester

I recommend Kiwitax's Cash Flow Management services. The approach was really helpful, especially the tools to help track how we are doing based on historical data and future projections. Working out client value and the number of leads needed to convert -- and seeing that in monetary terms with the tax implications, was an eye-opener. I appreciate being able to go through this process with goals attached to clear financial planning and potential outcomes. Thanks, Will 🙂

Will Roffé

Shane Hantler

Really impressed with my first year of service with you. The follow up review was very beneficial, information provided was clear and easy to digest and provided assurance that I am tracking as well as possible in my current situation. Great fit so far. Thanks again,

Michael Van Dinther

Appreciate bringing to our attention other things we could claim or include with our tax return. Thanks 🙂
