Happy Labour Weekend!

A long weekend is a good chance to slow down and recognise the people behind the businesses and communities we're proud to work alongside.

Our office will be closed on Monday 26 October for Labour Day. We'll be back on Tuesday 27 October.

Enjoy the sunshine, and your long weekend ☀️

Moving to New Zealand comes with plenty to think about — and your tax position is one of them.

If you’ve moved here but still have income, investments or other financial interests overseas, understanding your NZ tax obligations is important.

At JAS, this is an area where our tax team has specialist experience. From tax residency and transitional tax residence to overseas-sourced income, we can help you understand what applies to your situation and what you need to do next.

One of the things that sets JAS apart is that you don't have to go looking elsewhere when things get more complex. Our accounting and tax teams work together, giving you the full picture under one roof.

Already living in NZ with overseas financial interests? Get in touch with our team.

We love seeing our local sporting community out there doing what they do best! ⚽

It’s great to play a small part in supporting these young players as they develop their skills, build confidence, and enjoy being part of a team.

We’re proud to support Cambridge Football Club - NZ's Grade 10 boys and wish them all the best for their final tournament over Labour Weekend!

We’d also like to congratulate the Cambridge Grade 13 team, coached by JAS Director Dean Steele, on winning the title for the second year running.

Meet Alex Coles — Principal at JAS Accounting and Advisory, and someone who never says no to giving back.

Based in Nelson, Alex brings the same hands-on, client-first approach to the community as he does to the office — regularly giving up his evenings and weekends for the clubs and causes he cares about. As Treasurer of Stoke Nayland Cricket Club and Club Waimea, and a Board of Trustees member at Birchwood School, he’s putting in time year-round behind the scenes. On top of that, he’s out coaching juniors at Nelson Suburbs Football Club every week — training nights, weekend games, and the odd tournament away — because grassroots sport doesn’t run itself.

Swipe through to meet Alex and see what’s on his bucket list!

Want Alex or someone from our team in your corner? We’ve got offices in Nelson, Richmond, Waikato, and Blenheim, and clients right across New Zealand.

Your accountant is more than someone who takes care of your numbers.

They should be someone you can turn to for advice, clarity, and guidance as your business grows — especially when things feel a little tougher.

At JAS, we believe quality accounting is an investment in your business. We take the time to understand where you’re at, where you want to go, and how we can help you get there.

Whether you’re navigating a challenging period, planning for growth, thinking about switching accountants, or simply have a question you’ve been meaning to ask, we’re here to chat!

Get in touch today for a no obligation chat. https://jas.nz/

Growing your business with you.

More than just accountants; we’re your business partners, dedicated to helping you grow, navigate challenges, and seize opportunities.

A little community spotlight on the Nelson Senior Rep Team following their tournament in Ashburton last week. 🏐

With our own Jaunita in the squad, alongside connections to Hattie's Cafe and Mike Greer Homes, we were proud to support a team so closely connected to the JAS community.

Proud to support local sport and our community. 💛
