Locals supporting locals

We’re proud to be the Far North’s largest independent accountancy firm, helping local people and businesses grow stronger every day. Our goal is simple: to make business easier, more resilient, and more rewarding — for you, your family, and your community.

These days, accounting isn’t about calculators and grey suits. Technology has changed the game, and that’s a good thing. With smart software, you can handle the basics of your day to day accounting, your invoicing and payroll, with the click of a button — but when you add in our years of experience, (over seventy of them, in fact) and practical advice, that’s when the magic happens.

We’re here to cut through the jargon, make sense of the numbers, and give you the confidence to run your business without the stress. Think of us as your partners in building success, freedom, and peace of mind.

  • They have been a huge asset to my business

    Not only does Whitelaw Weber provide great business advice, they also help with HR and administration. Wayne, Lindsay and Rosie are always just a phone call away, which is not just reassuring - it’s good to know they have your back. Whether it’s our timber or farming business, they always ensure we are up with the play. They are awesome.

  • They have taught us so much.

    Wayne explains everything in layman’s terms and we’ve learnt a lot working with Whitelaw Weber: stock rotation, pricing, margins and reducing waste. At the end of the financial year we meet to discuss our performance and compare it to other butcheries in New Zealand. It helps us realise how much we have achieved.

Questions we’re often asked.

  • Yes — absolutely.

    We work with Xero, MYOB and a wide range of industry-specific software, and can help you choose, set up and use the right system for your business.

    If you’re already using accounting software, we can help you get more out of it — whether that’s improving your day-to-day processes, setting up better reporting, or making sure you have clearer financial information to support decision-making.

    If you’re not sure what software is the best fit, we can guide you through the options and recommend a solution that works for your business. We’re also able to access discounted Xero subscription rates for our clients.

  • We work with many businesses that require audits, but we do not carry out audits or reviews ourselves.

    What we can do is help you prepare for the process and connect you with trusted audit firms who can assist. If you need an audit, just get in touch and we can point you in the right direction.

  • Yes.

    We support many of our clients with payroll, PAYE, ACC and employment-related matters. That can include preparing wages, filing PAYE returns, reviewing ACC levies, preparing customised employment agreements, and helping with employment issues as they arise

    If you need support with the people side of your business — not just the numbers — we can help.

  • Yes — we’re proudly local.

    Whitelaw Weber has offices in Kerikeri and Kaitaia, and we work with businesses throughout Northland and beyond. We’re Northland-owned, Northland-based, and we understand the realities of doing business here.

  • Yes, we can.

    We help clients with a range of practical accounting and admin tasks, including GST returns, payroll and other ongoing compliance work. If you’d like to take some of that off your plate, talk to your Client Manager about the level of support that would work best for you.

  • We’re accountants.

    We get asked this a lot because “law” is in our name — but no, we’re not lawyers. We’re Chartered Accountants, and we provide accounting, tax, advisory and business support services.

  • Yes.

    We can support you with business valuations, budgeting, cashflow forecasting and financial analysis, so you can make informed decisions before buying, selling or restructuring a business.

    We work with clients to understand the financial and commercial implications of different options, identify risks and opportunities, and provide clear advice throughout the process.

  • Absolutely.

    Cashflow and forecasting are a big part of helping businesses make confident decisions. We can review your financial performance, help you understand where things are tracking, and put practical tools in place so you can plan ahead more effectively.

    For many businesses, small improvements in cashflow visibility can make a big difference — and helping clients look ahead with more confidence is a core part of what we do.

  • Yes.

    Whether you’re operating as a sole trader, company, partnership or trust, we can help you understand which structure is right for your situation and what’s involved in managing it properly.

    We also manage company administration in-house, so if you’d like support with the paperwork and compliance side of running a business, we can take care of that too.

  • We’re independent.

    Whitelaw Weber is Northland’s largest independently owned chartered accountancy firm. We’re locally owned and locally run.

    We’re also part of NZ CA, a network of independent Chartered Accounting firms across New Zealand. That gives us access to wider expertise and support, while still remaining a local independent firm.

  • We have offices in Kerikeri and Kaitaia, and we work with clients across Northland.

    Our Kaikohe office closed at the end of 2025, with our Bay of Islands team now based out of our Kerikeri office.

  • Yes — advisory is a big part of what we do.

    We work alongside business owners on strategic planning, financial modelling, forecasting, business valuations, restructures, governance and performance improvement. We help clients understand their numbers, improve profitability, and track the KPIs that actually matter to their business.

    We also provide technology advisory, helping businesses choose and implement the right systems and processes. Our training is tailored to suit your needs and can be delivered one-on-one, to teams or departments, as a one-off session or as ongoing support.

  • We understand that Henry has a place in the industry for small businesses, but one-size fits all isn’t necessarily the best option for everyone.

    We provide tailored advice and software solutions for your business – from a real person, in a real office. We work with Xero, MYOB and a wide range of industry-specific software, and can help you choose, set up and use the right system for your business.

     We know that people often choose Henry for the cost, but prioritising cost over what’s actually best for your business in terms of compliance, goals and efficiency will be detrimental in the long run.
