The aim of scheduling is to match the supply of our staff resources with work demand so that our clients can have certainty on:
As part of our workflow system we will try to ensure you have the same Accountant allocated to you for the production of your accounts each year. This saves you having to re-explain aspects of your business to a new person each year. Under this system the records collection interview will generally be conducted by either the Accountant who is going to prepare your accounts or the person who is going to perform the quality review on your accounts. How We Can Help With Your Record Keeping You can help us complete the work as efficiently and accurately as possible by keeping your records in the best possible order. Records Collection Meetings Every year we will send you a small pack of documents that includes; a new records folder, details of the procedures involved in the preparing of your accounts for the preceding year, and an annual business checklist which you must complete and bring along to a meeting with us. This meeting enables us to do two key things that can speed up the preparation of your accounts. We can:

For further details contact any of the partners or info@uhyhn.co.nz Strategic PlanningIt is a common feature for owners of a business to feel their personal battery beginning to run flat. The initial goals have been achieved and the question "where to from here?" arises. Strategic Planning is a formalised process that helps business owners and managers assess and understand the big picture.
The majority of New Zealand business owners go into business with the intention of being financially independent and to have more freedom to do the things they want to do. Many end up with the exact opposite. Strategic planning is the first essential step in ensuring you and your business are moving in the right direction toward achieving you’re your business and personal goals. Strategic planning sets the foundation for every activity that occurs in the business so those objectives are achieved. We have the expertise to help clients though this process. Our strategic planning services can help you work out a clear sense of direction, and get your team on board too. UHY Haines Norton Strategic Planning Services Our services in this area include:

For further details contact any of the partners or info@uhyhn.co.nz Succession PlanningWell-managed businesses plan and budget for sales, expenses, cash flow and growth. At the same time they should also plan for and anticipate the various changes that occur to a business which are caused through death, disability or retirement of a key person or any other event that may cause problems within the business. A vast majority of businesses do not have a formal succession plan in place. Ignoring considerations as to the financial arrangements and rearrangements that will be necessary in a business in the event of the death, disablement or retirement of a key person, can dramatically effect the value of a business. The worse case scenario – the business itself could collapse and the family would be left with immense problems. Retirement and death will occur to all business operators. After all the sweat and toil that has gone in to establishing a business, some consideration should be given to what will happen to that business when the current principal or key persons are no longer available. The best time to start succession planning is at the very beginning of the life of the business. UHY Haines Norton Succession Planning Services Our expertise in this area includes:

They need to be able to plan ‘where to from here’ for future business growth and stability. By analysing financial statements, businesses can understand significant trends, distortions and achievements. Using historical data as a starting point business owners can plan for future growth and financial improvement across the board and consider varying ‘what if’ scenarios.

Plans that mean you will be able to retire and maintain the standard of living that is acceptable to you. It also involves asset protection — putting in place an appropriate financial structure to preserve and protect the wealth you have created in your lifetime. If you are in business, part of your retirement plan should include a succession plan. This makes provision for your orderly’exit’ from the business. Succession planning may involve simply grooming someone to replace you. It could mean putting in place a comprehensive programme of systematizing your business so that you can sell a ‘turnkey’ operation for maximum value.
