01 — The Practice
Established in 1998 to serve New Zealand's small and medium enterprises, we look after clients of every nationality across the full breadth of their accounting and taxation needs.
The practice has grown into a team of multilingual chartered accountants spanning many specialised disciplines. In 2016 we corporatised the sole proprietorship into Kuan Yap & Associates Limited — same dedication, same professional knowledge, helping clients realise their potential and create wealth along the way. We hold to a strict professional code of conduct and a high ethical standard.
Over 25 years' continuous public practice at 99 Green Lane East, Remuera.
The full range of accounting and tax disciplines, with the personal touch of a boutique firm.
A former IRD tax inspector on our consulting staff — we know how an audit is run.
Audit Shield cover via Vero Liability Insurance, and a free half-hour to start.

From monthly accounts to a contested IRD audit, every engagement is structured personally around you and your business.

Full payroll services that keep you PAYE-compliant and on top of ACC and KiwiSaver — while safeguarding wage confidentiality and employment-law adherence.
A complete service for family trusts and estate planning — in English, Mandarin and Cantonese — from initial formation through to annual management.
