Our 'Wins'
We don't wish to brag, but really, we are only as good as the 'wins' that we get for our clients. Generally, we are retained by another service provider, or referred by one, so a 'win' for us is a 'win' for them, as well of course, as a 'win' for the client.
We believe in celebrating and sharing our successful outcomes.

Our resolve of Income Tax issues. Click for details >We were successful in having a demand by the IRD to a taxpayer for $99,367.23 of unpaid taxation, recalculated and settled at $242.86. We kid you not!! This person was facing bankruptcy! The ACC levy issue then needed to be resolved! Then there was an over $$1,500,000.00 claim that the IRD maintained that a client had not returned as income. This went on for four years, but we finally got the records straight and had the amount reduced to zero. If the IRD got their way of this, the resulting tax bill would have exceeded a million dollars, and no doubt a little goal time for the taxpayer. Again, not rocket science, we deal only with the facts, and argue accordingly. At the end of the day, our IRD friends are no different from you and me. We all, sometimes, get the wrong end of the stick.

Re-calculation of Accident Compensation entitlements. Click for details >We successfully argued for the re-calculation of entitlement for a self-employed accident client under ACC loss of earnings, gaining a back payment exceeding $301,000.00, plus a substantial increase in on-going weekly compensation. We were then instructed to lead a Review into this, as we believed that the client was entitled to more. In fact, the Review went in our client's favour, with the ACC position being 'quashed and substituted' with our figures! Our client received a further back payment of just under $215,000.00, plus interest of $58,000.00; a total of $574,000.00 of back pay!! With an increase in net weekly compensation from $460.00.00 pw to $1,450.00 pw, it is calculated to be worth $1,500,000.00 over the next 10 years to our client. We had earlier argued for another referral from a self-employed claimant and obtained a $98,000.00 back payment. Again, a substantial increase in on-going weekly compensation was achieved for this long-term accident victim. Not rocket science, we just go after the facts, and keep cool heads in advancing our position.

Called in by the NZ Police. Click for details >The NZ Police approached us to assist in a commercial fraud enquiry. They had identified the misappropriation of $75,000.00, enough for a prosecution, but they thought that there was more. They were right; we uncovered a total of $685,000.00 'transferred'! That got the 'pert' several months of free board.
-
Support for an SFO Request for Documents. Click for details >We provided expert support to a practitioner who was served with a formal demand to provide documents to the SFO, in relation to one of their clients. This one cannot get wrong: the penalties for doing so are too great!
-
An octogenarian's Trust bank account defrauded of over $600,000.00. Click for details >This was a forex swindle that was carried out over a 14-week period. We believe that his bankers failed in their duty of care to this customer. Ongoing......... Let's see where it ends. Then there is the question of the deductibility of this loss for tax purposes?? Currently under 'discussion' with the IRD!
-
Intervention in a relationship property dispute, (previously matrimonial property). Click for details >Our introduction to a four-year-long disagreement, saw a mutually satisfactory agreement reached. A new set of eyes maybe? There are other ongoing ones...... Business valuation issues!!
-
Help with getting Liquidation Proceedings withdrawn. Click for details >We provided expert support to a practitioner to get liquidation proceedings against a client company for $280,000.00 withdrawn, with a full and final settlement of $100,000.00 agreed upon. Ok, the taxpayer better behave in the future, but they are still operating.
