Please call us on 09 520 9200 or email our team if you wish to clarify any points or discuss your specific circumstances in more detail.

NB: Please do not confuse this with the annual compliance questionnaire which you will receive either in the post or by automated email at the end of this month. That questionnaire, once completed, will trigger our attendance to your work so should only be completed when you have your financial information ready to send to us and you want us to prepare the annual financial statements and/or tax returns.
