About Us
A well-established history working with businesses in the Bay of Plenty region and beyond.
Our history as a successful chartered accounting and tax accountant firm in this region is testament to the support and results we bring to our clients.
Established in 2002 as an amalgamation of three accounting firms, REAL Chartered Accountants has grown and evolved with the changing landscape of New Zealand businesses. Converting to Xero in 2012 allowed us to take a more proactive advisory role with our clients as the information available is live and readily available to both parties.
We are proud of our history in this industry and are incredibly honoured to consider many of our long-term clients as friends thanks to the years of working together. These well-established relationships are based on trust and are a testament to the quality of our work.
We look forward to making that time with you too.
