When was the last time you organised your bookkeeping? Is it ready for the end of the year?

A tidy set of records at the end of the year means fewer surprises in January, a less stressful approach before Christmas and a much easier run into GST, provisional tax and year-end reporting. It’s far simpler to sort things while they’re fresh than to piece them together weeks later, when the team is back and your inbox is full.

A few things worth ticking off before the break:

- Reconcile your bank accounts in Xero and clear any unmatched transactions
- Chase overdue invoices and check what’s still owed to you
- Enter supplier bills and note anything due in early January
- Code expenses and file receipts while you still remember what they were for
- Review payroll and leave balances ahead of the holiday period

If your books are behind or you’re not sure where they stand, get in touch with our team before the break. We can help you get everything in order, so you start the new year with a clear view of where the business is at for 2027.

Do you know what your cashflow position will look like on January 15th, 2027? What about on the 16th after GST and provisional tax have both been paid?
This is often a pinch time for businesses off the back of holiday payroll, potentially weeks of the office/business being shut, or quiet trading, more expenses related to the festive season, and invoices taking longer to get paid.

Most businesses know when the tax is due, but things tend to get foggy with tracking how cash actually moves over the break; getting a cashflow forecast in place will provide clarity, not just for January, but for the entire year ahead.

Our advice is to not leave it too late and have some time up your sleeve to make necessary changes if required. This means getting a forecast this year, not next.

Say hello to Niki, our new Bookkeeper in the Tauranga team!

Niki joins us with over 20 years of experience across accounts, admin, and customer service under her belt, including 9 years with the NZ Police. She's all about keeping the numbers sorted, helping things run smoothly behind the scenes, and looking after our clients.

Outside of work, things don't slow down much. You'll usually find her on the sidelines cheering on her three kids across rugby, netball, and volleyball. When she's not on sports duty, she keeps active with CrossFit, loves the outdoors, and enjoys spending quality time with family.

It's awesome to have you on the team, Niki!

Are you a practice manager who is used to taking charge, solving problems, and improving systems?

We're after an experienced Client Services and Practice Lead to join our Tauranga team on a fixed-term basis for 15 months, covering parental leave. You'll work closely with Management across day-to-day operations, finance, client services and systems. When something isn't working, we want you to find the fix and get on with it.

What you'll get:
- A full-time role based in our modern office with the autonomy to thrive
- Join a supportive, people-first team that cares and celebrates wins together
- Team lunches and genuine work-life balance
- Ownership of day-to-day office operations and client contact
- Variety of work across billing, payroll, debtors, reporting and operations, truly no two days are the same.

But we aren't just looking for anyone... we are looking for someone who can hit the ground running, having 5+ years in senior admin or practice management, ideally in professional services, with confidence in financial administration. Xero and/or MYOB experience is a bonus.

If you're ready to put the pedal to the metal, we would love to hear from you. Apply via SEEK: https://nz.seek.com/job/95067986

Start of the month means it's invoicing time. But how many of your invoices get paid on time?

Last year, small businesses in NZ were waiting on average 24.1 days to be paid, and the average late payment was 4.7 days beyond agreed terms. That's nearly a whole working week without that additional cashflow businesses often need.

So, what can you do to speed up cash collection and reduce these late payments?

1. The easier you make it for the customer to pay, the quicker they will. Offer a mix of online payment options directly into your digital invoices, significantly cutting collection time. You can also pass on the payment fees to the customer.

2. E-invoicing is one of the fastest ways to get your invoices in front of customers. Sending invoice data straight into your customer's accounting system eliminates manual data entry, reducing billing errors and speeding up approval cycles.

3. For regular recurring invoicing, Direct Debit is a great way to automate cash collection. Once your customer accepts this, funds will be taken directly from their account on the due date - shifting control for payments to you.

4. If repeat offenders are consistently late with payment, it's worth reviewing and updating agreed invoice payment terms. Shorten default terms and request partial upfront deposits for larger jobs. Setting expectations early brings cash in faster.

If you're consistently struggling with late-paying customers and poor cashflow as a result, then a CPIM (Cashflow Profit Improvement Meeting) would be right for you, and we can review your current setup and suggest appropriate ways you can speed up payment times and bring your cashflow position back under control.

We're looking for an experienced Senior Client Manager who knows their stuff, genuinely enjoys working with clients, and wants to be part of a team that works hard, has fun, and creates a great experience for everyone involved.

At Maisey Harris & Co Tauranga, we're not your typical Chartered Accounting firm. We challenge the status quo, with a strong focus on business planning and growth.

You'll take ownership of a portfolio of clients as their trusted advisor, overseeing high quality compliance work while providing proactive, commercially minded advice. You'll also coach other accountants in the team, helping build their technical skills and confidence along the way.

We're after someone who is:
- CA qualified, or an experienced senior accounting professional with equivalent technical capability
- Confident with New Zealand taxation, financial reporting, and compliance
- Skilled at reviewing work and coaching others
- Strong with Xero or MYOB
- Commercially minded, with the confidence to have proactive and sometimes challenging client conversations

And you'll get plenty in return, including a paid half day every Friday, a dedicated car park and work phone, team lunches, regular fitness sessions, and the autonomy to make client relationships your own.

It was awesome to get both teams together a couple of weeks ago to host our Mid-Winter Xmas get-together!

Even with eight of the team away sick, we made things happen and met up at Tenpin Tauranga for an office vs office bowling comp.

The Tauranga team took out the win, but the individual prizes were shared around. Kanj won best bowling moves, Danny got best score, and Tash picked up best cheerleader!

We rounded out the afternoon with a split between laser tag and mini golf, then all caught up for a well-deserved dinner and drinks at Latitude 37.

Wondering if your business idea has the legs to be a viable business in the current market? We've put together a few important questions to ask yourself before taking the leap.

Is there demand in the market? Above everything else, you need paying customers. Research whether your target market exists and will buy what you are selling. Look for hard evidence, not just polite feedback from mates.

Is the business financially viable? Work on the numbers to make sure your pricing covers expenses, software subscriptions, and tax obligations, leaving a true profit after recurring operational costs.

How much will it cost to acquire customers? Account for the time and budget needed for marketing, ads, and content creation. You will want to know your acquisition cost per lead, so promo costs do not drain your startup capital.

What’s a realistic profit target? Set a lean net profit goal to begin with. Aim to clear initial baseline costs within the first 6 to 12 months, then set a clear profit milestone for the longer term.

How much time will your startup business take up? Look at your existing schedule and see if you can commit the required hours for operations, customer service, and admin while still working, or if it needs to fund your salary too.

If you think your business idea is ready to go, come chat to our team. We offer one-off advisory services to help you get started.

We’re on the lookout for a Bookkeeper/Accounting technician who enjoys working with people, loves Xero, and is looking to be a part of a business that challenges the traditional accounting model.

If this sounds like you, you might be the perfect fit for our Tauranga office. At Maisey Harris & Co, we are business growth facilitators who get under the hood of our clients' operations to provide real, practical support, rather than just crunching numbers from a distance. Check out our new video for a glimpse into the lifestyle and what we get up to here at MHCo!

In this role, your time will be split between numbers and team support. You will manage day-to-day accounting requirements like Xero reconciliations, GST returns, and payroll, while also assisting with workflow and practice coordination to keep our office running efficiently.

This is a dynamic, full-time position where no two days are the same. We also believe in a genuine lifestyle balance, which is why you’ll get a permanent head start on your weekend by working only a half day on Friday while getting paid for the full day.

You will join an award-winning, modern firm that actually looks after its people with great culture, values, and perks:

- Ongoing professional development and learning opportunities.
- The chance to work with a wide variety of New Zealand businesses.
- A modern, tech-forward office with a highly collaborative team.
- Regular social events, excellent coffee/herbal tea, and Friday afternoon catch-ups.

If this sounds right up your alley, we'd love to hear from you. Check out the full job description and apply on Seek here:

We're over halfway through the calendar year and into Q2 of the FY already. If you haven't already created a business plan, we would love to help.

We have a proven framework and experience facilitating hundreds of these for businesses of all shapes and sizes. Our Business Planning session gets to the heart and soul of your business, and you’ll walk out with a clear, one-page plan that keeps you on course.

But what does it actually do for your business?

It keeps you moving when the market doesn’t: As we know, the economy is unpredictable, a flexible strategy means you can pivot when things shift, rather than being caught flat-footed.

It gives you a real edge over competitors: Businesses that can react fast to changes in the market seize opportunities that others miss.

It’s part of being a good leader: As a business owner or CEO, keeping your strategy current is part of the job, and communicating parts of it with everyone in your organisation means everyone is working towards a common goal.

It keeps your goals on track: An easy-to-follow, up-to-date business plan keeps you pointed in the right direction as well as provides accountability for actions and milestones.

If your current business strategy doesn't look like this, or you don't have one at all, this is your sign to get in touch.
