Cathy de Farias

Director

With over 30 years of experience working alongside Chartered Accountants, I’ve had the chance to support a wide range of SMEs across all sorts of industries. I started from the ground up, gaining hands-on experience in just about every role — which gave me a solid feel for how businesses tick.

Somewhere along the way, we also found ourselves diving into the kiwifruit industry, which has been an exciting (and sometimes sticky!) adventure of its own.

After many years of working for others the opportunity to start our own Accounting Practice came about.   Building a business — and a team — from the ground up gave me a new appreciation for the real-world challenges business owners face every day. It's also made me even more passionate about taking the stress out of the numbers and helping people succeed.

What I love most is turning financial complexity into something clear and useful — and building strong, lasting relationships along the way. My goal is always to help business owners feel supported, confident, and more in control.

When I’m not working, I’m usually planning my next travel adventure. Exploring different cultures keeps my perspective fresh and reminds me how lucky I am to call this place home. I’m proud to be part of such a dedicated team and to be doing work that I genuinely enjoy.
