Accountant Christchurch
Aurora Financials supports businesses, charities and trusts across Christchurch and the wider Canterbury region with accounting, tax and audit work, led by Jonathan Maharaj FCPA. Everything is delivered remotely through Xero, so your team does not need to be near a city centre to get the same quality of support.
An accounting firm Christchurch businesses can rely on, delivered remotely
Aurora Financials works with businesses, charities and trusts across Christchurch and Canterbury on accounting, tax and audit support. With Christchurch's business community spread across the revitalised city centre and suburban commercial areas like Riccarton, Addington and Sydenham, our remote first model means your team gets the same dedicated support wherever you are based.
Led by Jonathan Maharaj FCPA, a Fellow of CPA Australia with more than 20 years of New Zealand audit and accounting experience, our Christchurch clients get the same FCPA led oversight as every other Aurora Financials engagement, wherever they operate from.
Canterbury business accounting, across the city and beyond
Christchurch's business landscape spans well beyond the central city. Many Canterbury businesses are based in established commercial precincts like Riccarton, the city's largest retail and commercial hub, and Addington, a mixed office and light industrial area close to the CBD. We also work with businesses in Sydenham and across the wider Canterbury region, including Rolleston, Selwyn and Waimakariri.
If a face to face meeting is genuinely needed, Jonathan can travel to meet you anywhere in New Zealand, including Christchurch. For everything else, our remote first model means the distance between Wellington and Canterbury never gets in the way.
