I would like to confirm that Garry Hughes has been my accountant for some years now and I can honestly say that I would not consider changing accountants under any circumstances. I am a USA Citizen having retired to New Zealand, therefore I require both a USA tax return completed every year as required by Congressional law and a New Zealand tax return completed every year as required by New Zealand tax law. Obviously this becomes quite a professional understanding by Garry as to what must be reported by each country and the dead lines for reporting and paying. Garry Hughes always performs a totally professional task and I have to say that I have not run into any problems with the work Garry does. I would not consider another accountant.

I have used the Accountancy Services of BDS Hughes since they opened their practice in Orewa. I am more than pleased with the way they have looked after our financial and tax business interests and especially appreciate the fact that I can ring Garry anytime and get his expert advice whenever I need it. I thoroughly recommend BDS Hughes to all other businesses for people who require a friendly no hassle accountancy team.

We have been with BDS Hughes Accountants nearly 5 years. Without their knowledge and forthright suggestions we would not been able to experience our high level of success. We are comfortable with the working relationship and ease with which they are able to communicate with us. As we as the normal accountancy service, Garry advised us on Xero accounting and taught us to uses the program in plain simple English. We can say only that we have had nothing but exceptional service and the advise we have received has been correct and perfect for our business, which is why i would not hesitate to recommend their services.

For many years now Garry Hughes of BDS Hughes Chartered Accountancy and his team have provided us with an exceptional professional service. We have found Garry‘s knowledge in his field of taxation, business planning and financial matters of great value to us, along with providing us additional recommendations for improving our business strategies. We would recommend their friendly and professional services to anyone who is looking for an accountancy service that will improve their business performance.

Chris and I would love to write this letter of reference. As business owners for 34 years we know how crucial it is to have the right professional people supporting you.Garry and Helen and their team at BDS Hughes have provided us with their accounting expertise for approximately 25 of those 34 years. Garry’s Business Development Services has taken us from small town business owners and grown us into a company capable of going nationwide and internationally with our products and services. His business acumen and professionalism has provided us with all aspects of accountancy services and financial support and advice. With his team he has given us very sound and timely training, keeping us on track through the highs and lows each year brings. As an ongoing family-based business, we have had the challenge of staying focused and looking to the future for all involved, our business team and family. Business planning and mentoring has allowed us to keep up-to-date and moving forward as well as introducing a succession plan. Garry and Helen share similar family values and know the challenges of fitting work and family time into busy and demanding schedules. We highly value the professional relationship we have built with them over these past years and know we have a lasting friendship as well.

Garry Hughes has been the Orewa North accountant for the past 17 years. The key to this long association has been the efficient manner in which Garry has performed his preparation of our accounts. It has been a pleasure to deal with someone whose working relationship has been friendly and exceptionally flexible when fitting in with the school needs and the ever changing Ministry of Education regulations and reporting requirements. It is good to know that sound financial advice and guidance is only a phone call away.
