"Three years ago we contacted Baubre Murray because we needed an accountant to help us as we set up our small business. In that time Baubre has done way more for us than sort out our accounts - she has become a trusted financial advisor. She is patient, unflappable, excellent at explaining accounting and tax issues in plain English, and above all a consummate professional. We consider Baubre to be an integral contributor to the success of our business."

"We always find our dealings with Dowse Murray to be helpful and professional. As well as our company accounts Baubre has been able to provide some very pertinent business advice on a wide range of matters."

"Meeting Baubre and Martin from Dowse Murray has been great for my business. I no longer have to spend the time I used to working on my accounts and always feel confident that my tax bills are up to date and in order. Plus the best part is that they always take the time to explain things and answer all my questions really quickly....definitely recommend!"

"As a business owner I don't pretend to have an amazing grasp of how various components of my business and trust finances are structured and what they mean. It is no mean feat that, with patient explanations of how it works over several years, Baubre and Martin have left me with a much clearer understanding and further confirmation my finances are in reliable and safe hands.

Still the best recommendation they have made to me was switching to Xero when it first arrived on the scene. As a result my business understanding has improved further still and management moved to a whole new level."

"We really like how Baubre and her team keep things simple and friendly. For over 8 years they have been providing us with great advice for our companies and trust. This includes filing returns, software to simplify our record keeping and recommending specialists when required."

"We've been impressed with Dowse Murray's flexible and fresh way of working. They understand our not for profit motives and our need for fast and sound service."

"Dowse Murray have been providing financial advice and accounting services to our business and members of our family since 2003. Initially our business operated as a sole trader, individual management consultant. Over the last few years we have been able to substantially grow the business to include rental properties, company directorships and shareholding in several business (most significant being Starfish Consulting and Beyond Recruitment - both currently seen as market leaders in their respective fields in New Zealand). The services provided by Dowse Murray have always been very professional, prompt and of excellent quality (regardless of the size of our assets). It would be appropriate to attribute some of our success to the timely, pragmatic and appropriately conservative advice provided by Dowse Murray. We intend to continue using Dowse Murray services for the foreseeable future."

"In 2003 we approached Baubre Murray to provide advice on our olive grove that we had established at Pauatahanui, just north of Wellington. We had previously sought advice from one of the 'big' accounting firms but felt that they did not understand the dynamics of our business. Baubre was instrumental in our being able to register our olive grove as a going concern to maximise our investment. Subsequently when we decided to expand our investments with rental property purchases, Baubre provided excellent advice on the best way to go about this and we spread our investments across properties in Wellington and Akaroa, where we intended retiring to."

"Baubre and her colleagues have always been responsive to our enquiries, providing professional advice and in promptly processing our accounts. We feel Baubre has efficiently managed our financial requirements for our portfolio ranging from the olive grove, a dalliance with Highland cattle, the rental properties and our plans for a bed and breakfast. Particularly during our recent 18 months in the United Kingdom we found Baubre very accommodating given the time difference and our requirement for support as we negotiated the sale of one of our rental properties and the purchase of our current olive grove in Akaroa. We have no hesitation in recommending Dowse Murray to other business people."

"We appreciate the sound accounting support and guidance that Baubre and Martin have provided to us for more than five years. They are professional, accessible, responsive and are an integral part of our team."

"Baubre has been providing us with expert and trusted advice for over 9 years now. We particularly appreciate her fast response to queries, her timely reminders of upcoming liabilities and the tailoring of her tax and business advice to our specific circumstances. Since moving to Xero we have called on Martin's expertise with this product, and he has also provided us with prompt and accurate support. Working with Dowse Murray is friendly and hassle free - we look forward to a long future relationship with Baubre, Martin and their team."
