I am a professional from India. In India, corporate houses regularly rely on Company Secretaries for corporate due diligence and compliance matters. Recently, following the India–New Zealand FTA developments, I was involved in the due diligence of a company with a subsidiary in New Zealand. I got stuck on certain New Zealand tax aspects, which is when I came across Baqir’s YouTube videos. His content helped me understand the relevant tax concepts and identify areas where the company had taken certain tax positions or claimed credits that required further scrutiny. This helped me raise the right questions and appropriately flag these matters to the promoters. I was genuinely impressed by the depth, clarity, and practical value of his content. The fact that he shares such high-quality knowledge completely is remarkable and generous. I felt compelled to leave this Google review simply to appreciate Baqir for sharing his knowledge and making New Zealand tax matters easier to understand.
Who We Help
Accounting for New Zealand property businesses
Know Your Numbers. Stay Ahead of Tax. Grow With Greater Confidence
Running a successful property business takes more than keeping work coming through the door. You need to know where your money is going, what tax is coming and whether the decisions you're making today are actually strengthening the business.
Finex provides proactive accounting, tax and advisory support for New Zealand property businesses, helping you stay compliant, improve financial visibility and make better-informed decisions as you grow.
Property & Construction Businesses We Help
Property development can involve significant amounts of money, long project timelines and important decisions before the eventual return is realised.
We help property developers stay on top of their accounting and tax obligations while gaining greater clarity around the financial side of their projects and business.
As a construction business grows, so does the financial administration behind it.
We provide ongoing accounting support that helps established construction businesses keep their records organised, stay on top of their obligations and develop a clearer understanding of their financial position.
Being a builder could sometimes mean managing customers, jobs, suppliers, staff or contractors, and somewhere in between, the financial side still needs attention.
We help builders take care of the accounting behind their business, from ongoing bookkeeping and GST through to annual accounts, tax and payroll support where required.
When you're busy doing the actual work, bookkeeping and accounting can easily get pushed into evenings, weekends or the increasingly dangerous ‘I’ll sort that later’ pile.
We help tradies keep the financial side of their business better organised, stay on top of tax and GST requirements and get professional support when accounting questions arise.
Working as a contractor gives you a business to manage alongside the work you're actually being paid to do. And as your contracting activity grows, the financial picture can become increasingly important.
We provide accounting and tax support for contractors working throughout the property and construction sector, helping you stay organised and understand where you stand.
Key Property Business Challenges We Solve
“We're Growing, But Where Is the Cash?”
A profitable business can still experience serious cash-flow pressure. We help you understand what's coming in, what's going out and where potential gaps may appear so you can plan ahead.
“Our Tax Bills Keep Catching Us Off Guard.”
Tax shouldn't feel like a surprise every time it becomes due. Better visibility and planning can help you understand upcoming obligations and manage cash accordingly.
“Can We Actually Afford This Next Move?”
Another employee. New equipment. A bigger project. Another location. An acquisition. Growth decisions become easier to evaluate when they're supported by reliable financial information and realistic forecasts.
“We Need Finance, But the Bank Wants Numbers.”
When lenders require financial statements, forecasts or other supporting information, Finex can help you prepare the financial information needed to support the process.
“We're Busy, But Are We Making Enough Profit?”
More work doesn't automatically mean better financial performance. Clear reporting helps you understand what's happening beneath your revenue and where attention may be needed.
“We've Outgrown Our Current Accountant.”
If you're doing more business but still only hearing from your accountant around filing deadlines, the relationship may no longer match what your company needs.
Sometimes your accountant hasn't changed. Your business has.

Highly recommend Baqir Hussain and the team at Fenix Accounting. Baqir has been extremely helpful in guiding us through GST matters for our not-for-profit organisation as well as property rental taxation. He explains things clearly, is very approachable, and takes genuine interest in helping clients understand the process properly rather than just doing the paperwork. Really appreciate his professionalism, knowledge, and timely support. Looking forward to continuing working with Fenix Accounting.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Still have a question? We're happy to answer it before you commit to anything.
Do you only work with property investors, or do you work with property businesses too?
Finex works with both. Our property focus extends beyond individual investors to businesses operating throughout the property sector, including builders, developers, mortgage brokers, property managers, real estate businesses and other property-related companies.
Our accountant already handles our tax returns. What would Finex do differently?
The difference may be the level of support you need. If you’re satisfied with annual compliance, your existing arrangement may be perfectly adequate. But as a business grows, you may need better financial reporting, tax planning, cash-flow forecasting or access to advice throughout the year. Our aim is to help you use accounting information to look forward as well as backwards.
Can you help us improve cash flow?
We can help you understand and forecast your cash position so you can identify potential pressure points and plan ahead. The underlying causes of cash-flow problems vary between businesses, so the first step is understanding what’s actually happening in yours.
Can you help with financial information for bank funding?
Finex provides financial statements and cash-flow projections, including advisory work where businesses require financial information in connection with financing. The precise requirements will depend on your circumstances and what the lender requests.
Can you help us reduce our business tax?
We help clients identify legitimate opportunities to minimise unnecessary tax while complying with New Zealand tax legislation and IRD requirements. Effective tax planning starts with understanding your business and planning early rather than looking for last-minute shortcuts.
Is our business large enough to work with Finex?
Finex works with established businesses requiring ongoing accounting and financial support. Rather than using business size alone to determine fit, we’ll look at your circumstances, complexity and the support you’re looking for.
Is changing accountants complicated?
It doesn’t have to be. If you decide Finex is the right fit, we’ll explain the information required and help make the transition as straightforward as possible.
