At Gunson McLean, we offer a comprehensive range of accounting services tailored to meet your needs. As specialists in Agri Advisory, Bigger Business and Trade & Contractor services, we pride ourselves on delivering top-quality support in partnership with you. 


Taxation Services 

Our proactive approach to taxation ensures you stay ahead while minimising your tax obligations. We assist with preparing tax returns, tax payment advice, and managing GST, FBT, and ACC obligations. With our expertise, we help you navigate complex tax matters while keeping your key objectives in focus. 


Business Advisory & Financial Planning 

We provide strategic business advice, including budgeting, financial projections, cash flow forecasting and investment planning. Whether you're looking to refine your long-term vision or implement a 3-5 year strategic plan, we can offer guidance in achieving your business goals. 

Financial planning is crucial for long-term security. We develop comprehensive strategies to ensure your financial goals are met, creating income sources beyond your business or employment. In collaboration with NZ Funds Private Wealth, we provide an integrated wealth management service for our clients. 


Payroll & Office Support 

Managing payroll and employment legislation is becoming increasingly complex and time-consuming. We take the hassle off your hands by providing a confidential payroll service, including IR-filing, customised payslips and general payroll administration. 

If office administration isn't your strength, we can help with processing wages, managing creditors and debtors, handling secretarial duties, and training in general office tasks. 


GST & FBT Management 

GST legislation can be tricky, but we know it inside out. From GST registration to preparing and filing returns, we ensure you meet compliance requirements, even for special events such as property sales or purchases. Our expertise also extends to audit assistance when needed. 

FBT rules frequently change and staying compliant can be challenging. We offer accurate advice on preparing FBT returns, understanding FBT implications for your business decisions, and developing cost-effective employee benefit plans. 


Succession Planning 

Planning for the future is vital to ensure the long-term success of your business. Our years of experience allow us to address complex succession planning issues, giving you peace of mind and relieving the stress of business continuation. 


Management Consulting 

We help businesses unlock their full potential through expert management consulting. Acting as a trusted advisor, we offer guidance on business growth, key performance indicators, and overall business efficiency. With our support, you can confidently make informed decisions that drive success. 


At Gunson McLean, our goal is to provide expert accounting and advisory services that help your business thrive and achieve long-term success.
