Launch offer
Sign up for SRN Plus, pay for your first year of accounting, and your second year is free — the same service, the same team, the same app, at no charge. It’s the simplest way we know to say we’re confident you’ll stay.
Why we built it
Most accounting works like this: you hand over a shoebox or a Xero login, wait, and some months later a PDF and an invoice arrive. In between — nothing. No idea whether your GST is done, whether a deadline is coming, or what it will cost. SRN Plus was built by Chartered Accountants who thought that was a poor way to treat a client.
Every job we do for you, as a journey with real steps — not “in progress”, but where it actually is, what comes next, and when it’s due.
When a step needs you — a bank statement, a quick answer, an approval — the app says so, and you deal with it right there, on the job it belongs to.
Your questions go to the people who actually do your work, by name and by role. Not a ticket queue. Not a call centre.
Chartered, not just accountants
“Chartered Accountant” is a protected professional designation: membership of Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand, years of supervised practice, ongoing professional development, and a code of ethics with real consequences. Every SRN Plus client is looked after by Chartered Accountants — the same standard you’d get from a traditional firm, with an app instead of a waiting room. We’re the first in New Zealand to work this way.
How it works
A call or a coffee. What you do, how you’re set up, what you need done — GST, year-end, payroll, the lot. You get a fixed monthly price before you decide anything.
Moving accountants is our job, not yours. We request your records from your current accountant, get IRD and Xero connected, and you sign in to the app with your email — no password, no forms.
Every GST return, set of annual accounts, payroll run and tax job — each one a journey with real steps and a due date. Home puts whatever needs you first.
Each job carries a conversation with the person doing it. Answer a question, upload a statement, approve a return — it lands with them straight away, tied to the step it’s about.
A GST return, mid-journey: the step it’s on, what’s needed, and the conversation underneath.
Questions, answered
How we work, who we are, and what you’re signing up for. Anything else — ask Zeaney (bottom right) or call 0800 28 28 08.
You tell us about your business, a Chartered Accountant calls you back within one business day, and you get a fixed monthly price in writing. Say yes and we handle the switch from your current accountant, connect IRD and Xero, and your work appears in the app — every GST return, set of accounts and tax job as a journey with real steps and a due date. When something needs you, the app tells you. When you have a question, you ask the person doing the work, from inside the job.
Partners of SRN Partners — Chartered Accountants with seven offices across New Zealand, from Auckland to Christchurch, and a Xero Platinum Partner. SRN Plus is a new company built by the same people, with the same professional standards, for clients who want their accounting visible and in their pocket rather than out of sight.
Yes. SRN Partners is a registered tax agent with Inland Revenue, and your returns are prepared, reviewed and filed under that agency by Chartered Accountants — members of Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand. Anyone can call themselves an accountant; Chartered is different, and so is being a tax agent.
One fixed monthly price, in writing, before you decide anything. It depends on your business — structure, GST cycle, payroll, how many entities — so we work it out on a short call rather than guessing. Add-on services are quoted before they start. And with the launch offer, you pay for year one and year two is free.
The compliance that keeps a New Zealand business in good standing: annual accounts and income tax returns, GST returns, provisional tax, payroll and Companies Office compliance, plus Xero set up and looked after — prepared and reviewed by Chartered Accountants. The app comes with it: documents, due dates, messages, approvals, your named team, and invoicing for your own customers.
Yes. Sign up, pay for your first year of accounting, and your second year is the same service, the same team and the same app at no charge. It’s the simplest way we know to say we’re confident you’ll stay. The full terms are explained before you sign anything.
Moving accountants is our job, not yours. Once you say yes, we request your records from your current accountant, get you linked to us at IRD, and connect Xero. You sign in to the app with your email — a six-digit code, no password, no forms — and your work is there.
The app is where you see everything — progress, due dates, documents, the conversation with your accountant — and it’s the quickest way to answer a request or approve a return. But real people are at the end of the phone on 0800 28 28 08, Monday to Friday 8:30–5, and email works too.
Yes. Keep your existing subscription and we’ll connect to it — or subscribe through us as a Xero Platinum Partner and pay 10% less than retail, billed with your accounting, set up and looked after by the same team that does your books.
Encrypted in transit and at rest, held in a Sydney data centre for New Zealand and Australian residency. In the app you only ever see your own business — there is no way to reach another client’s records — and the people on your named team are the ones who see yours.
No. SRN Plus is built app-first, so most of what we do together happens on your phone, by call or by video. The seven SRN Partners offices are there if you’d like to sit down with someone in person.
Still wondering? Ask a Chartered Accountant — no cost, no obligation.
What’s included
One fixed monthly price covers the compliance that keeps a New Zealand business in good standing, year in, year out — prepared and reviewed by Chartered Accountants, and every one of these shows up in the app as a job you can follow.
Financial statements and income tax returns for companies, trusts, partnerships and sole traders — prepared, reviewed and filed with IRD, and visible step by step in the app.
Returns prepared and filed on your cycle, with the period and due date on your calendar before it arrives. If we need a statement, the job asks you for it.
Instalments worked out, dated and reminded — so the payments land on time and never come as a shock.
Pay runs processed and payday filing handled, on your frequency. The job appears the day before pay day and is done on it.
Companies Office annual returns, resolutions and the paperwork that keeps an entity in good standing — tracked, not remembered.
Chart of accounts, bank feeds and support from the people who do your books. Subscribe through us and it’s 10% off retail.
The app that comes with it
Three kinds of things live in the app: what’s happening, what needs you, and a few tools for running your business.
The things you used to find out by asking.
Every job as a journey through the real steps your accountant follows, with the current step marked and the finish in sight.
GST, provisional tax, year-end — every due date that applies to you, laid out ahead of time. No surprises in an IRD envelope.
A nudge when something needs you, when a return is filed, or when a date is coming up. Quiet otherwise.
The back-and-forth, without the email chain.
Your financials and returns arrive in the app, filed in tidy folders. Send records back from your camera roll or files — no attachments, no chasing.
Ask about a step, answer a request, attach a file. Either side can start it, and it stays with the job so nothing gets lost in an inbox.
Approve a return when it’s ready. Request an extra service in a tap. Book a meeting with your team from inside the app.
A few things that aren’t about tax at all.
Create and send your own GST-correct invoices as polished PDFs, with sequential numbering handled for you. Built in, included.
The details we hold for you — entities, IRD numbers, GST registration, balance dates — open to you, with a one-tap way to flag a change.
The partner and accountant who look after you, by name and role, one tap from anywhere. Real people, not a switchboard.
Xero Platinum Partner
Subscribe through us and pay 10% less than retail every month — set up, connected to your bank feeds and looked after by the same team that does your accounts. One bill instead of two.
When you need more
Ask for any of these from inside the app — the team tells you how it works, what it costs, and whether it suits you — or the old-fashioned way, by phone or email.
XERO PLATINUM PARTNER
Subscribe through us and you pay 10% less than retail every month, and your Xero is set up, connected to your bank feeds and looked after by the same team that does your accounts. One less thing to manage, and one bill instead of two.
STARTING OUT
Starting a company is a handful of forms and a hundred small decisions. We incorporate you with the Companies Office, get your IRD number and tax registrations sorted, and set the share structure and director details up right the first time — so nothing needs undoing later.
SIT DOWN WITH A CHARTERED ACCOUNTANT
Selling a property, taking on a partner, paying yourself, choosing a structure — the moments where a good answer early saves real money later. Book an hour with an adviser and leave with a plan, not a maybe. Charged by the hour, so a one-off question costs a one-off fee.
LOOK AHEAD
A forecast turns this year’s numbers into next year’s picture: what cash looks like month by month, what a hire or a new van does to it, and when the tight patches land. Built with you, in Xero, so it stays useful after the meeting.
GET REGISTERED
Crossing $60,000 a year means registering for GST — and choosing a filing frequency and accounting basis that suits how you’re paid. We register you with IRD, set the right options, and make sure your invoices and Xero are ready for the first return.
BEHIND WITH IRD?
Tax debt grows quietly and feels worse than it is. We talk to IRD on your behalf, arrange an instalment plan you can actually keep, and manage it from there — so the letters stop and the plan runs. No judgement, just a way through.
Private by design
Your tax file is about as personal as information gets. The app is built so that your sign-in can only ever reach your own records — and that is tested, not just promised.
A six-digit code to your email. Nothing to remember, nothing to leak.
Your access is approved by your accountant, one person at a time. There is no public sign-up.
Every request is scoped to your account on our servers. You cannot see another client’s records, and no one can see yours.
Encrypted in transit and at rest, held in a Sydney data centre for NZ and Australian residency.
Lock the app behind Face ID or your device passcode, so a borrowed phone isn’t a borrowed tax file.
No analytics or advertising trackers in the app. We don’t sell your information, full stop.
Who we are
SRN Plus is a new company, built and run by partners of SRN Partners — Chartered Accountants with seven offices across New Zealand, from Auckland to Christchurch. We borrowed the name because it stands for something: the same people, the same professional standards, and a new way of working with clients that we think every business deserves. Nobody in New Zealand had done Chartered accounting app-first before. So we did.
You’ll find us at SRN Partners’ offices. Or start with a call — most people do.
