Very happy to recommend Jonathan’s auditing work.

As our Club auditor, Jonathan communicated the process clearly, worked to our tight deadlines and gave our Executive a high degree of assurance that the club was being well managed.

On several occasions Jonathan also assisted the club with addition work when specialist support was required for which we were very grateful.

Porirua ClubLisa Beighton, Porirua Club’s General Manager

Jonathan was the auditor for Amnesty International NZ.

As the ICT & Database Manager I had to liaise with him to provide more detailed information to match with the information from Accounts.

Jonathan was efficient and professional, and worked well with our unique circumstances (Non Profit as opposed to his usual Commercial clients) and was patient with myself (and other staff) who may not understand accounting/auditing terms as well as he does.
