Chartered Accountants
without ties

Why no ties? A ‘no tie’ policy lets you know what to expect from us as a chartered accountancy firm; friendly, relaxed people, and straight-talking advice. We like to think of ourselves as being more than your accountant. We’re on your team.

Yes, we provide accountancy and taxation services,...

…help you to minimise tax, and plan for the future, but as part of your team, putting in the extra effort is part of our service. That’s an easy promise to make, so we invite you to find out for yourself.

Marcelo Nunez & Emma Lowe

Wright Wool is a successful wool brokering business in Waipukurau serving the wider Hawkes Bay. We are passionate about our industry and work very hard to ensure our clients receive the highest standard of service. We also insist that our service providers are of the highest calibre and Shepherd Hensman Ltd fit very easily into this bracket. We have enjoyed a fantastic working relationship since we bought into this business. They have helped us develop our business into what it is today. Their staff are always friendly, polite and respectful. They speak in a language we can all understand and they even have a sense of humour! I would encourage any business to employ the services of SHCA as they will be assured of excellent, reliable and honest advice.
