With over two decades of experience in the accounting industry, Scott has been helping individuals and businesses make sense of their finances since 2000. In 2014, he took the step to establish his own practice — building it on practical advice, genuine relationships, and a real understanding of what clients actually need.

Scott’s background isn’t purely numbers. He started out in the trades, which gives him a grounded, real-world perspective on the day-to-day challenges business owners face. Add to that his time as an IRD auditor, and you get someone who brings both hands-on insight and a thorough understanding of compliance and tax obligations to every client relationship.

Today, Scott Chard Accountant is very much a family business. Scott and his partner work closely together to deliver a personalised, responsive service — approachable, easy to deal with, and backed by a wide network of technical expertise for when more complex matters arise. You get the personal touch of a small firm, with access to the knowledge and resources of a much larger one.

Outside of work, family comes first — and on a Friday afternoon, you’re more likely to find Scott on the golf course than behind a desk. It’s all about balance, and that’s something we genuinely encourage for our clients too. If you’re looking for down-to-earth advice, delivered with experience and a personal touch, you’re in the right place.
