Reviews

Paula has been our accountant for the last ten years, and we couldn't recommend her enough. We use her services for GST and annual returns, I find her patient with my questions. Her broad understanding of the Xero accounting system is invaluable. Her communication style and extensive knowledge always ensures the process is efficient and seamless as possible.

Coast Accounting / Paula has been our accountant now for many years & we have built a very close working relationship. Paula introduced us to xero and that has improved our GST experience & also the time spent has decreased dramatically. We would recommend Coast Accounting / Paula as we feel she provides a professional & timely service.

Paula was awesome when we were starting our new ventures - one of which was a spur of the moment choice! Her advice and support has been invaluable. Her manner and personality make her wonderful to work with. I have no hesitation in recommending her as your first choice accountant.

I have changed over to Coast Accounting recently and have found them to be excellent in every aspect of my dealings with them. They deal with all my accounting and I am confident in their service and advice. Paula has helped me with all aspects of my business accounting including dealing with IRD and establishing payroll services. I highly recommend Coast Accounting as a cost effective and reliable accounting service with quick response times and solid advice.
