They have helped us with succession planning, payment of wages and salaries, the Emissions Trading Scheme, student loans and advice on forestry, property, rental property and new projects. We often receive friendly advice with just the pickup of the telephone. They are easy to work with and we highly recommend their talents, knowledge, and professionalism.

In 1945 the Tweeddale family ventured into the bee-keeping business, initially managing approximately 200 beehives. Now we are one of the largest family owned bee-keeping operations in NZ, managing 18,000 beehives placed on over 500 properties, producing various types of honey and employing approximately 33 staff. Over the years Ryan, Thomas & Co have supported, assisted and provided advice and taxation services pertaining to all accounting matters for Tweeddale Apiaries.

As the lead member in a corporate family farming enterprise in England, expansion into farming in NZ came in 2001 when Ryan, Thomas and Co became my accountants. The professionalism, practical advice and the timely completion of all tasks imposed on them is exemplary. Completion of OIO applications, money movements, accounts, day-to-day business transactions are all handled without hassle. They are a firm with a 'finger on the pulse' and they have my full and unreserved recommendation.

Starting your own business can be daunting. Thankfully, we had Alan and the team at Ryan, Thomas and Co to point us in the right direction. They explained what was being done on our behalf to get us up and running and advised us how best we should go about business. From the start we knew that help and advice, along with a good dose of encouragement and reassurance when needed, was only a phone call away.

Phillip and Sarah King, Spion Kop Farm Ltd
I am a trustee of the Maata Kotahi Partnership for the Whenuaroa family. We have farmed Makokomiko Station northeast of Taihape for over 100 years. Way back then, our family started the business relationship with (now) Ryan, Thomas and Co. As our relationship blossomed and grew, so did our business. They have financial oversight of all budgetary issues and liaise with our agribusiness consultant on farm planning strategy. They have become more than our accountants, they are our friends.
