We love that our clients love us!
Our personalised service is a unique feature at Stantons. Unlike other firms, you won’t deal with a revolving parade of juniors. Instead, you’ll ALWAYS talk to your dedicated advisor, building a relationship of trust and knowledge for better-informed decisions.
At Stantons, we break our services down according to your business needs.
These loosely fall into 3 general levels:
A. START UP
Everything most new businesses need to gain traction.
1. Accounting Services review
We review weekly/monthly data entry of deposits, and bank/credit card transactions and review reconciliations that you have entered using MYOB, Xero or other accounting software. We provide monthly/quarterly accounting adjustments and financial statements for internal use, reflecting financial results from an income tax standpoint.
2. Annual Returns
Provides an opportunity to review your business performance.
B. GROWTH
Everything from the Startup package, plus additional services suited for emerging businesses.

2. GST Returns
We can prepare the return, or check your work, depending on the system we establish for you.
3. Payroll
We can help you manage payroll information from payroll software, and reconcile with your books.
4. Tax Returns
We can prepare and lodge FBT, Provisional and Annual Company/Personal Returns. We also act as your IRD liaison (which is how the dept. prefers to deal with business taxpayers.)
C. MATURITY
Everything from the Growth package, plus additional services tailored to the needs of established businesses.
1. Accounts Payable

2. Accounts receivable
We pull daily and monthly sales reports from POS systems and enter them into accounting software either by manual entry or establish a link for automatic entry (depending on the POS system.)
3. Payroll Reporting
We can help you setup a third-party payroll system and process your payroll after receiving hours and earnings information.
4. Annual Financial Statements
We generate annual compiled financial statements, prepared on the income tax basis. (They are not audited for use by a third party.)
5. Tax Planning Consultation
We provide tax planning on an as-needed basis to inform you of your projected tax liability and help you manage your tax payments.
6. Cash Flow Forecasts
We project your cash flow on a weekly basis and provide a detailed report.
7. ACC
We can act as your agent for all your ACC related matters. Unfortunately, ACC invoices are often incorrect and you could end up paying much more for your ACC levies than necessary.
8. Business Consulting Services
We’ll provide two hours per year of consultation on your accounting, tax and business matters. These might include financial results, key profit indicators, profitability and tax efficiency.
