About Us
At Countess Inc, we help small businesses, sole traders, and self-employed professionals manage their finances with ease, clarity, and confidence. Whether you’re based in Whangarei or anywhere else in New Zealand, we offer expert bookkeeping services that ensure your business stays on track — without the stress.
With over a decade of experience, we specialise in Xero bookkeeping, GST returns, payroll processing, monthly accounts, and business admin services. We’re here to simplify the numbers, keep you compliant, and make sure your business runs smoothly.
Why Choose Countess Inc?
Running a business takes time and effort, and you need someone who understands the challenges you face with your finances. Here’s how we can support you:
1. GST Compliance
If you’re GST-registered, we make sure your returns are filed correctly and on time. Late or incorrect filings can result in hefty IRD penalties, so we ensure everything is in order, avoiding those costly mistakes.
2. Payroll & PAYE
If you have employees, payroll can be one of the trickiest tasks. We handle payroll processing for you, ensuring PAYE deductions are accurate and submitted to Inland Revenue, so you don’t have to worry about any compliance issues.
3. Xero & MYOB Expertise
We specialise in using cloud accounting software like Xero and MYOB — tools that most NZ businesses rely on. Whether you’re just getting started or need help tidying up your accounts, we’ll make sure your software is set up properly, your reports are accurate, and your books are in great shape for your accountant or bank.
4. IRD Audits
While no one wants an IRD audit, having clean and accurate financial records drastically reduces your risk. If an audit happens, having everything in order makes the process much less stressful and time-consuming.
5. Saving You Money
Bookkeepers generally charge less than accountants. We handle the day-to-day tasks like bookkeeping and GST returns, saving you money when it comes time to work with your accountant for tax or annual filings. You’ll also have more time to focus on growing your business.
Our Approach
At Countess Inc, we don’t just file your receipts and send you on your way. We’re here to be your partner in success. Whether you're a Tradie, creative, consultant, or running a small business from your laptop, we take the time to understand your unique needs and provide clear, no-jargon advice that helps you make better decisions.
Remote and In-Person Support
We’re based in Whangarei, but we work with clients across New Zealand. Whether you prefer in-person support or remote assistance, we’re flexible and can meet you wherever you’re most comfortable.
Let Us Handle the Numbers, So You Can Handle Your Business
If managing your accounts is taking up too much of your time or causing unnecessary stress, it might be time to bring in a bookkeeper. Even if you only need a few hours of support a month, we’re here to make your life easier.
Get in touch today to see how we can help your business thrive with reliable bookkeeping and business admin support.
