Firm Profile
We are a medium sized rural Chartered Accountancy practice and operate primarily with agribusiness clients providing Accounting, Audit, General Taxation and business advisory services. The practice has been operating in Opotiki since 1974 and was originally set up by Mr Ray Sharp. The firm became a partnership when Ray invited Fred Cookson to join as a partner in 1996. Ray retired from the firm in 2004 and his side of the practice was taken over by June Forbes who has over 35 years CA experience and specialises in primary sector accountancy and taxation. The rest of the team brings a combined 80 years CA experience in accountancy, audit, administration and support services.
