- WHY THIS IS DIFFERENT
Your Accountant does Tax. - I do growth.
- THE GAP NOBODY TALKS ABOUT
Every small business owner in Auckland knows the drill. When a big decision looms — a new hire, a lease, a pivot — you call your accountant. They know your numbers better than anyone, so surely, they're the right person to ask.
And they are. In theory.
But here's the reality: your tax accountant is extraordinary at what they do. Compliance, returns, keeping the IRD happy — that world demands intense focus and moves to its own relentless calendar. When tax season ends, the next one is already beginning. There simply isn't space to sit with you, dig into your strategy, challenge your assumptions, and think deeply about where your business is actually headed.
So you get a phone call. Fifteen minutes. Good general advice, genuinely well-meant — and then they're gone.
That gap between having an accountant and having someone truly in your corner is where most small businesses quietly struggle.
I'm a CPA who made a deliberate choice: no compliance work, no tax returns, no divided attention. My entire focus is you — your goals, your decisions, your growth. I bring the same financial rigour and commercial thinking your accountant has, without the competing demands that prevent them from going deeper.
Think of it as having a CFO-level strategic partner whose only job is to help your business succeed.
- THE PERSON BEHIND THE PRACTICE
A CPA who is fully in your corner.

I've always loved business. Not just the numbers, but the strategy, the decisions, the moments where the right thinking changes everything.
Before founding 360 Strategies, I spent years inside large, branded corporations working with business leaders on pricing, growth, and opportunity. While peers focused on compliance, I was drawn to strategy.
What became clear was that smaller business owners needed this thinking most, but were getting it least. Stretched across tax returns and deadlines, their accountants simply didn't have the bandwidth for the work that actually moves a business forward.
That gap became my purpose.
I'm a Chartered Accountant who doesn't do tax — deliberately. Doing both means doing neither well. Stepping away from compliance freed me to focus on one thing: your business.
My work spans across all the critical areas of business that determine success — the kind of thinking most small business owners in New Zealand aren't getting from their current advisors.
If you've ever wished your accountant would just think with you — that's exactly what I do.
