Team Martin Wakefield at the Coastal Corporate Challenge 🏃🏃

On Friday, six of our team logged off and laced up their sneakers for the 5km Coastal Corporate Challenge. Despite the cold weather, it was a great evening out, and everyone crossed the finish line in good time.

As our singlets said, we were “Running on Caffeine & Accounts Payable” - and it got us there!

Looking forward to next year!

It's not all numbers at Martin Wakefield! 🎳
On Friday 18 September the Timaru team headed to West End Bowling Club for an afternoon on the green. Whether you were a seasoned bowler or picking one up for the first time, everyone had a go and there was plenty of friendly competition. We wrapped things up with pizza and a catch up.
Looking after our team is a big part of how we look after our clients, and afternoons like this are a great reminder of the awesome people we get to work with. Thanks to West End Bowling Club for hosting us!

🎉 We're thrilled to be featured in Business South this month — and the hot topic? Artificial Intelligence.

With over 100 years of history, Martin Wakefield has always embraced change — and AI is our next chapter. Our team is actively exploring how artificial intelligence can streamline our internal processes and deliver even more value to our clients across Canterbury and beyond.
As Hamish Moorhead puts it: "We've been helping clients navigate change for generations. AI is just the next step in that journey."
From Timaru and Christchurch, we continue to offer the full suite of services our clients rely on — rural and general accounting, auditing, tax, payroll, business advice, and more — now with an eye firmly on the future.
