Accurate annual accounts, timely management reporting and cloud accounting support for individuals, businesses, companies and trusts throughout New Zealand.
Accurate and timely financial information is the foundation of a well-run business. Murray Sharma & Associates prepares your annual accounts and tax returns while ensuring they meet relevant legislative requirements and professional standards.
Our work is not limited to compliance. We also provide clear management information that helps you understand your current position, monitor performance and make informed decisions throughout the year.
We support individuals, sole traders, partnerships, companies and trusts of every size, from first-year start-ups to established multi-entity groups across New Zealand.
“Good accounting should tell you more than what happened last year. It should help you decide what to do next.”
Financial statements and tax returns prepared accurately and in accordance with applicable New Zealand requirements.
Understand profitability, cash flow, margins and financial performance throughout the year.
Maintain clean and reconciled accounting records that make reporting faster and more dependable.
Reduce the time spent on bookkeeping, reconciliations, payroll and administrative financial tasks.
We prepare a complete set of annual accounts — profit and loss, balance sheet, and supporting notes and schedules — for every structure. Company financial statements are prepared to meet the minimum requirements set out in the Tax Administration (Financial Statements) Order, and larger or specific-purpose entities are prepared under the applicable New Zealand financial reporting standards. Our work is completed in accordance with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (NZ GAAP).
Compliance accounts tell you where you have been; management accounts help you decide where to go next. We provide monthly or quarterly management reporting tailored to what matters in your business — profitability by job or product line, gross margin, overhead tracking, and comparison against your budget. Because this information is timely, you can act on it while it still makes a difference, rather than finding out at year end.
We are certified advisors for both Xero and MYOB, two of New Zealand's most widely used cloud accounting platforms. Cloud software streamlines your bookkeeping, gives you and us access to the same up-to-date numbers, and automates bank feeds, invoicing and GST
If keeping the books up to date is pulling you away from your core work, we can take on as much of the day-to-day as you need — bank reconciliations, accounts payable and receivable, GST preparation and payroll — either monthly or quarterly. You get clean, current records and more of your own time back.
Annual accounts are prepared once a year for tax compliance and statutory purposes and look backwards over the full year. Management accounts are prepared more frequently — monthly or quarterly — and are designed to help you make operational decisions while there is still time to act on them.
Yes. Every self-employed person in New Zealand must record their income and expenses to complete an income tax return. MSA prepares these efficiently, ensures you claim every legitimate deduction, and keeps you compliant with Inland Revenue’s record-keeping rules.
Both are excellent, and the best choice depends on your industry, size and the add-ons you need. As certified advisors for both, we give you an unbiased recommendation and then handle the setup, migration and training.
Yes. We can handle as much or as little of the day-to-day bookkeeping as you like — bank reconciliations, invoicing, payables, GST and payroll — so your records stay current and year-end is quick and inexpensive.
Inland Revenue requires business records to be kept for at least seven years. Cloud accounting stores these securely and makes them easy to retrieve, which we can set up and manage for you.
