Our people, and yours: a partnership for sustainable success As far as we at UHY Haines Norton are concerned, you are the pivotal part of our team; our key for unlocking your potential and growing it. Quite simply, your business is our business; your success, ours.

Through teamwork we’ll help your business achieve financial security through innovation, by taking opportunities, and by anticipating the obstacles and challenges lying ahead. Our specialist team will ensure your team has the right information and advice to realise your business and financial goals.

Your international local specialists UHY Haines Norton is able to draw on a huge reservoir of global talent, for your benefit. UHY is one of the world’s leading business advisory, consulting and accounting networks, with expertise we can call on from 7,055 staff in 211 offices in 72 countries.

We work especially closely with our colleagues in Australia, where there are eight offices around the country.

Our Henderson office is our local face, where we’ve been helping Kiwi businesses blossom since the early 1950s. Despite our worldwide affiliations, we’ve never lost sight of the basics: helping Kiwi businesses of all sizes get ahead through relationships built on trust, personal service, mutual goals and respect.

The UHY Haines Norton difference: Listen, Understand, Solve It’s vital to choose the right chartered accountants. Entrusting the details of your business to someone else is not unlike revealing your most personal, intimate details to your doctor. You expect absolute discretion

and sound, professional advice from years of training and experience.

At UHY Haines Norton, we do the friendly doctor bit: not only do we look at the big picture, but we also know when a specialist is required. Our highly trained experts can take care of even the most complex issues, all in-house; all part of the service, at a sensible fee. And, should we need to, we can call on our overseas network.

UHY Haines Norton have a deep understanding of business. We take great pride in being up to date with the latest legislation and best practice. Our clients value this knowledge. Their most difficult and risky decisions are made only after consultation with UHY. We have a customer satisfaction rating of over 90%.

We’re loyal and friendly; proud of the long-term relationships we’ve built with our clients and their families. Just like your doctor, really: good for your financial health.

The detail in the differences…

Global Affiliation. We have the resources and the credibility to handle complex situations. This reduces business risk, especially for export-oriented clients and international businesses with overseas shareholders.

The UHY Haines Norton 25-Day Turnaround. A key difference between us and other accountants is that we schedule when your financial statements will be prepared. This way you know when we require your information and when your financial statements will be completed.

You know where your financial position lies, more quickly.

Fee Smart. It’s just the smarter way to pay – spreading account fees over 6 to 12 months, improving your cash flow, now.
