Most clubs, associations and not-for-profits didn't set out to run a finance function. You're here to serve members and deliver on a mission β€” but somehow the budgets, board reports and compliance deadlines keep landing on someone who's already flat out.

A full-time CFO isn't realistic for most lean organisations. A Virtual CFO is: executive-level oversight and forward planning, scaled to what you actually need and can afford.

At DFK OGC, Anit Patel and Mike McNab help SMEs, sporting clubs, charitable trusts and member-based organisations find the financial clarity they've been missing.

If your numbers feel more like a scramble than a strategy, let's talk.

A strong benefits package is one of the best ways to attract and keep good people β€” and it's not all about salary. Non-monetary perks like company cars, health insurance, gym memberships, or free meals can make your offer stand out.

But these "fringe benefits" often trigger tax implications for your business, and can affect your employees too. Understanding how they work β€” and how to structure them β€” helps you offer a competitive package without any surprises.

Not sure where your benefits package stands? The DFK OGC team can walk you through the key tax impacts and help you structure it the right way.

Matariki marks new beginnings β€” and in business, that's a useful prompt.

The Māori New Year is traditionally a time to reflect on the past and plan for what lies ahead. As it happens, that's not a bad framework for a mid-year business review either.

Three things worth revisiting this Matariki:
βœ” Is your cashflow tracking where you expected it to be?
βœ” Have recent regulatory changes β€” minimum wage, KiwiSaver, FBT β€” been factored into your numbers?
βœ” Are you getting strategic advice, or just compliance?

If any of those give you pause, we're here to help.

Ngā mihi o Matariki from the team at DFK OGC. 🌟

Starting a business β€” or rethinking how yours is set up? One of the first big decisions is your structure: sole trader, partnership, or company.

Business structuring is one of our specialities here at DFK OGC. Book some time with our team today β€” we'd be happy to talk through the best option for your business.

New Zealand's Budget 2026 is here β€” and it's a disciplined, infrastructure-led plan focused on long-term stability over short-term stimulus. πŸ“Š

Swipe through for the key takeaways:
βœ… A return to surplus by 2028/29
βœ… A $7 billion infrastructure package β€” roads, rail, hospitals and schools
βœ… $5.5 billion more for frontline health
βœ… No broad tax cuts, but FBT simplification and a new financial-sector levy
βœ… A major public-sector restructure ahead

The tax environment stays largely steady, but the shifts beneath the surface could shape how you plan, structure, and grow your business.

A fantastic few days in Auckland at the 2026 DFK ANZ Conference this May.

The conference brought together firms from across Australia and New Zealand to share insights, strengthen connections, and discuss the future of the profession β€” from advisory and AI to leadership, compliance, and client relationships.

DFK OGC Partner Mike McNab joined the panel discussion:
β€œAML in Practice: Lessons from New Zealand & Preparing Australian Firms” β€” sharing practical perspectives from New Zealand’s AML/CFT experience since 2019, as Australia prepares for similar regulatory changes.

Another meaningful highlight was DFK ANZ’s NZ$10,000 donation to Starship Hospital. We’re proud to be part of a network that continues to support communities and organisations making a real difference.

And of course, the pre-gala dinner brought a bit of fun too. The DFK OGC partners joined in on the purple-themed dress code β€” with special mention to Sanjay, who fully embraced the brief (with a little help from the team wardrobe). πŸ’œ

Thank you to DFK ANZ, the speakers, organisers, sponsors, and everyone involved for a memorable conference.

At DFK OGC, we value opportunities like this to stay connected with our wider network, share practical insights, and continue bringing informed, forward-thinking advice to the businesses we support.
