Campbell & Associates is a small accounting firm based in Westport in the Buller District.

The business started in May of 1988 and has traded from the office at 68 Russell St, Westport since then.

The accounting practice provides services to clients around the country to clients in all types of business activities with its largest block of Fees being in the Dairy Industry.

Peter Campbell, the owner of the business, realised early in his career that clients were looking for information during the financial year so that they did not get surprised with large tax bills when their business profit had increased.

When GST was enacted it was realised that a lot of clients were not sufficiently able to deal with processing regular GST returns and dealing with complicated matters during that process. Campbell & Associates offered a service to do this and as a result it produced reports at the end of each GST return indicating the Profit and Loss of the business.

From this, clients asked questions about payroll and wages. It was clear as things got more complicated clients were not able to do Employment contracts and deal with matters in relation to payroll issues. On that basis the firm offered a service to do this and now provides this service to a significant number of business’s.

Initially the firm input bank statements into their accounting software manually then moved to Banklink. In recent times this product has been dropped and the firm is now using Xero to process bank transactions.

With the evolvement of technology Campbell & Associates is able to work with clients all around the country. Distance is not a problem as we like to talk to people about what is happening in their business during the year and also like to know what they are doing so a visit to them is a plan on a regular basis.

The firm specialises in having a close working relationship with clients so we can work as a team.

At Campbell & Associates we understand that people are unique, businesses are unique, and your situation is unique. To this end we are dedicated to providing timely, accurate solutions tailored to suit individual needs. We will work alongside you with the aim of not only solving problems that arise, but helping you reach your financial goals.
