Starting your business.
Okay, let’s get started!

Starting a business can be daunting and rewarding. Kiwis are well-known for striving to achieve their entrepreneurial goals; we’re hard working, innovators, and go-getters.
If this sounds like you, if you’ve got a great business idea and want the freedom the pursue your passion whilst creating generational wealth, we’ll help set you up for success and hit the ground running confidently.
We’ll walk you through the necessary steps to establish your business by assisting with:
- Determining the viability of your proposal
- Providing assistance with the employment of staff
- Setting the objectives and goals for your business
- Preparing a budget and cash flow forecast
- Determining and setting up an appropriate ownership structure
- Registering your business with the Inland Revenue Department
- Establishing a financial reporting system which will provide tax compliance and performance measurement

Beyond your business.
Succession after success

Now that you’ve been at it for some time, it may be beneficial to think about the road ahead, and create a life beyond your business. Developing a successful exit strategy can be key to securing personal wealth and financial wellbeing.
We know how important future financial security is for yourself and your loved ones, so let’s partner together to ensure you’re rewarded for all those years of hard work.
We’ll facilitate the security of your financial wellbeing by:

- Establishing an appropriate structure, such a trust, to protect your assets
- Providing full trustee services
- Working with financial advisors to ensure prudent management of your investments
- Helping you to plan your retirement
- Accounting for your estate

Advisory.
Sound advice you can count on

With privately owned New Zealand businesses facing a tidal-wave of regulation, and the process of raising capital becoming more challenging, there’s a greater need for independent advisory skills to support businesses in making sound strategic decisions.
When these challenges present themselves, your accountant can be a trusted advisor. At MCI, we believe our quality mix of advisory and accountancy works harmoniously together to assist you in getting the best out of your situation.
We can advise your business on the following:
- Family & corporate governance
- Intergenerational transition/business succession
- Business strategy
- Deal structuring
- Raising capital and formation of equity partnerships.
- We are also thrilled to have Sean Stafford, our advisory team leader, on board. Sean is an experienced corporate banker with 17 years of banking leadership and deal structuring experience. Sean previously specialised in large scale agricultural businesses.
