Hi Just wondering if any one can help me i am looking for a good accountant that has had experience with NZ investors that live in Australia….I live in the northern suburbs of Melbourne
I would be very thankfull for some helpHi Kristine
You need to deal with a New Zealand accountant, most here will not know. Have you purchased in New Zealand. I can assist to help you finfd an expert in nz. It is important that you have established the structures in New Zealand and not in Australia

Hi Kristine,
You are correct that you ALSO require a cluey Australian Accountant who understands about NZ investing.
Our accountant is excellent, however he is based at Warragul VIC.
A lot of others here also use Dale Gutthrem Goss. You could do a search on the forum to read lots of discussion about him. Not sure about how well they know the NZ tax laws, as we don’t use them. Dale is about the best in Vic. so they say. Many interstate investors also use him. He has a good book out called “Trust Magic”.
Regards,
DelDale is excellent I hear, but only for Australia tax laws. I recall asking about NZ tax laws a while back and he told me he doesn’t touch it.
Regards,
OziIs anyone in a position then to recommend an account, preferably in Christchurch ?
Thanks – B
i emailed Dale and yes you are right he doesnt deal with NZ investments i emailed Paul Bright he sounds fantastic so far but it does sound as if i havent set the right structures up buggerthanks a lot for thatlead i really appreciate it although he is a fair old hike for me as i live near Eltham/Greensborough
If anyone could help with a accountant in NZ that wouls be great i didnt realize i had to do that thank you all
Hi Kristine
Nigel is spot on – as an international investor you need to be careful of the structures you use, otherwise you can get caught with capital gains tax and a whole host of other issues.
We have found we have had to find the right accountants both in Australia and New Zealand and get them working together.
In Melbourne we can recommend Ruth Watson & Associates on phone 9572 0144. Despite being based in Carnegie she does have an office in Northcote too.

NZ Resources for Australian InvestorsHi Kristine,
I am pleased you seemed happy with Paul Bright. I am also curious how you got on to him, when I didn’t give out his name or his company…[biggrin]
He is EXCELLENT and has helped us immensely over the last 6 years or so.
You might want to try and have a look at: http://www.masteraccountants.co.nz
We are having dealings with him at the moment, and he “appears” very clued up (much more than the average NZ accountant.
I don’t know him well enough for a full glowing recommendation though, but as far as Paul Bright at Armitage Downie, I couldn’t recommend anyone higher! We will continue to use him after we shift to QLD.
Good luck,
Deli just did a search on this site i put your name in the search engine and accountant. Because i know that you are always helping people out. So i figured instead of asking questions that you have answered 100 times i did that…thatnks for the web link i will check it out now
THANK YOU EVERRYONE
