Bookkeeping, accounts, management reporting & more
Craig is the chairman of the board of a high-performing dairy operation located in Culverden, North Canterbury. The farm manages a 216-hectare dairy farm with 730 cows, operated by contract milkers.
What services did you go to Evans & Co for?
We use Evans & Co for a full range of services. Kim manages our day-to-day bookkeeping, while Ella and Jane handle monthly management reporting to the board and investors. They also take care of our annual accounts, secretarial support, and manage investor transactions, both buying and selling. Essentially, they cover all our bases, providing compliance accounting, GST, and board secretary services.
Why did you choose Evans & Co?
Our farm is a syndicate. Initially, the originator of the syndicate provided administrative support. When we decided to actively manage these tasks ourselves, we searched for the right firm and found Evans & Co. Jane put forward a compelling proposal and the rest is history.
How did you find the process?
The process has been great. Jane is excellent to work with, and more importantly, so is her team. They effectively manage everything remotely, primarily over emails, and Jane is always willing to travel down to contribute in person. They are quick to respond, accurate, and a pleasure to deal with.
How was the team to work with?
The team at Evans & Co is fantastic. Their professionalism and responsiveness have made a significant positive impact on our operations.

The experience has been nothing short of exceptional
I turned to Evans & Co for accounting services for my three businesses, which span commercial property interests, property management, and property sales. Their expertise and support have been instrumental in managing the financial aspects of these ventures.
Running multiple businesses can be quite challenging, but Evans & Co made the process remarkably smooth. They are incredibly knowledgeable and always on top of things. Working with them has been a breeze—they are not only easy to deal with but also offer invaluable business advice. It's great to have another pair of eyes that isn't emotionally involved, guiding us on what to do and what to avoid.
The entire team at Evans & Co is trustworthy, independent, and highly skilled in their respective areas. The company culture reflects a strong sense of independence and expertise, making it easy to rely on all of them.

Unbelievably painless
"As a small security company based in Cambridge, we needed comprehensive services like payroll, general accounting, and business accounting. Evans & Co made the entire process unbelievably painless, especially after previous bad experiences with accountants. Jane and the team helped us tidy up our accounts and gave us the confidence that everything could be sorted. The team is incredibly supportive and patient. I can't speak highly enough of them. I would happily recommend them for their great advice and unwavering support."

The Real Value Lies in Unlocking the Big Picture
"I have always thought a good question trumps great advice. And that is why Evans & Co are so successful in what they do best - creating value for their clients. I love my conversations with Jane - she really challenges me, gets me thinking. Asks searching questions. They often start with a ‘why’ and sometimes I am still thinking about a single question weeks and sometimes months later. Sure the annual accounts and tax advice are important and they are very good at that. But where the real value lies in unlocking the big picture - the strategy, clear thinking to clearly define objectives and goals and providing a support structure to help achieve these."
