FAQs

Answers to common questions about our services and accounting in general.
Why do I need an accountant or bookkeeper?
An accountant or bookkeeper keeps your finances organised, saves time, and helps your business grow. They can handle GST filing, end-of-year financials, monthly bookkeeping, cash flow insights, budgeting, forecasting, tax planning, and business advisory. This support reduces stress and helps you make smart decisions.
While possible, doing it yourself often costs more in time, software, and potential mistakes than hiring an accountant. Errors can go unnoticed for months and may lead to IRD penalties. Accountants have the skills and experience to keep your books accurate and compliant, letting you focus on growing your business.

Leave your accounting to the experts at EZ-Ferns Accounting, and put your time into what matters most: growing your business.
Yes — accountants save time, ensure compliance, provide expert advice, and help your business thrive. Software can automate some tasks, but it can’t replace personalised support, professional guidance, or strategic advice.
Software may calculate and pay your tax, but it often requires access to your bank account, collects tax early, and still relies on you to manage bookkeeping. Mistakes can lead to penalties. At EZ-Fern:
  • Your bank account stays under your control
  • Bank feeds go directly into the accounting software for reconciliations and tax calculations
  • All claims are maximised, and taxes are calculated accurately
  • We guide you through the process and provide advice to support growth
In short: accountants do more than calculate tax — they keep you compliant, save you time, protect your cash flow, and provide expert guidance to grow your business.

Consider an accountant when:

  • Starting out: Choosing the right structure (sole trader, partnership, company) and setting up GST/IRD correctly
  • Registering for GST: Especially near the $60,000 threshold to avoid penalties
  • End of financial year: Preparing accounts, tax returns, and claiming deductions
  • When growing: More staff, customers, or products mean more complex payroll and tax
  • Major business decisions: Applying for finance, buying equipment, expanding, or selling
  • Short on time or confidence: Outsourcing frees you to focus on your business

EZ-Fern helps by setting up accounts and systems, keeping you IRD-compliant, helping you understand your numbers, and providing practical planning advice.

No, we also work with MYOB and other accounting software to suit your preferences.
Xero simplifies financial management, but managing books can still be time-consuming. As a Xero Gold Partner, we help you use Xero efficiently while handling bookkeeping for you.
It depends. We often work alongside accountants: we handle day-to-day bookkeeping, while your accountant provides strategic advice and tax guidance, ensuring your finances are accurate and efficient.
No need — cloud-based accounting allows us to manage your books remotely. We serve clients across New Zealand.

A bookkeeper manages financial transactions, including bank reconciliations, accounts payable and receivable, payroll, GST filing, and more. We also provide software training and system integration support.
