“Joining the Bentleys’ brand and Kreston is an exciting opportunity and the Auckland office will capitalise on the changes the New Zealand accounting profession has experienced over the last few years.

“The accounting profession is facing significant changes, both in New Zealand and Australia. Nick and I saw an opportunity to build a firm using innovative technologies and smarter infrastructure which will deliver efficiencies and value for our clients. “The Bentleys brand and vision resonate with us. The agreement means we have flexibility over direction and growth of the business, while being able to offer our clients the benefits of strong expertise and services across the ANZ market”.

“More and more our clients are looking for regional services and global representation; we are acting on this demand with geographic expansion and through our close ties with other members within the Kreston network”, Mark commented.
