We have 8+ years of experience
We know from experience, when you operate your own small business, you experience a range of highs and lows. You need to juggle tasks and wear all sorts of hats. With so many tasks requiring your attention, it’s no wonder sole traders and small business owners struggle to keep on top of their finances.
We imagine you didn’t get into business to manage its books. So if you’re losing track of daily transactions, bank reconciliations, paying suppliers or even your payroll, let’s have a chat. We’ll give you the accounting support you need to spend time on the more exciting aspects of running a business. Our simple monthly packages give you the flexibility your business needs to scale without having to hire more staff.
Based in Nelson, Accountsdept has been helping small businesses manage their accounting and bookkeeping NZ wide for over 8 years. So no matter the size of your business or the location you’re in, we can help.
We are a full-service accounting, bookkeeping and payroll team who work with small businesses every day. You get a named contact who knows your business, fixed monthly pricing with no surprise invoices, and cloud software set up so you can see where you stand at any time.
We have been looking after New Zealand small businesses for over 8 years, and our team holds recognised accounting and payroll qualifications. We are certified in the software we recommend, we keep your data secure, and we are happy to put you in touch with existing clients who can vouch for our work.
Yes. We run payroll end to end — processing pay runs, PAYE returns and filing with Inland Revenue, holiday and leave calculations, and KiwiSaver. Whether you have one employee or hundreds, we make sure your people are paid correctly and on time.
“We have worked with Sam and her team at Accountsdept for nearly eight years. During that time they have helped us navigate various seasons of our business. From the early days when proper cash flow management was key to our survival, to expansion of the business as we grew and today as we manage the uncertainty of the future…”
“O2B has been working with Sam and her team for some 3 years now. We are very happy with the relationship that has developed and the level of responsiveness and dedication to work, including administering our payroll function, advice, assistance and training with Xero, and accounting in general.”
“We have worked with Aruni and the accounts team for the past 3–4 years and have consistently found them to be friendly, professional, and highly efficient in all of our dealings. Communication is always clear and timely, and the time difference works particularly well for us in managing workflow and responsiveness. The team is reliable and easy to work with.”
“Since partnering with SmartStaff Limited in September 2025, The cGP Lab has benefited from their ability to quickly understand our processes and consistently deliver to agreed timeframes every month. They respond promptly to any questions and work collaboratively with us to find solutions that work well for both companies. We highly value their reliability and professionalism.”
