Financial Advisors for Commercial Excellence

Specific Expertise

High Net worth individuals

Generally, these individuals have assets in excess of $1 million (on top of the family home). It has been our experience that they need a tax advisor who keeps up-to-date with the latest taxation and investment strategies to ensure they are taking full advantage of any tax savings available.

They also have a few structures through which they investment or operate, including family trusts and self managed superannuation funds. At Face we ensure our clients carry out tax planning before year end to fully utilise this structures and minimise taxation.

Our high net worth individual clients have a range of backgrounds including sportspeople, doctors, board directors, accountants and investors.

Property Investment & Development

With years of experience in taxation compliance and advising for public offer property companies and trusts we are able to assist our clients in tax effectively structuring their property investments.

We are able to carry out "property investment modelling" to show the before and after tax and cash flow results of negatively gearing property investment and/or developments, as well as selecting the most appropriate structure to use.

We currently have clients ranging from those who are building a property portfolio through the use of unit or hybrid trusts to those clients undertaking large scale property developments through the use of partnerships, joint ventures and companies.

Health Care

We provide taxation compliance and advisory services to the following clients in this sector:

In addition to these corporate groups, we also provide taxation and accounting services to medical practitioners assisting them with their services entities, self managed superannuation funds and retirement planning.

Family Business

Family owned businesses are unique. No two families or businesses are alike which means each family business has its own strengths and weaknesses to contend with.

Getting the balance right and ensuring all the stakeholders are well informed is an art which Face is experienced in dealing with.

We can help family business with business, succession and estate planning, as well as dispute resolution.

Retail & Wholesale

Our experience in this area ranges from local retail businesses to a publicly listed New Zealand company which is the largest general merchandise and apparel retailer. This means we can assist you with the growth and/or expansion of your retail or wholesale business because we have experience and networks that advise businesses at both ends of the spectrum.

We can assist you with your business plan and help you benchmark your performance against your competitors.

Primary Production

Livestock accounting, special trading stock write offs for horses and capital allowances for farming make the primary production industry distinctive. Which means it is of great assistance if you have an advisor with experience in this area.
