Business Advice
When we started RightWay in 2011, we figured that to really support New Zealand businesses, we had to go beyond accounting. So, we formed our Business Partner team who partner with our clients on an advisory level.
Our Business Partner team is made up of experienced business owners, so they understand the trials and tribulations of running a business because they’ve been there too! Our advisors provide a great sounding board for your ideas and offer impartial, external advice and support on-call.
Backed up by our extremely knowledgable, nationwide team of, Accountants, Bookkeepers, Agribusiness and Payroll specialists. Our Business Partners have a wealth of knowledge to assist you in building your business to be everything you want it to be!
We understand that the day-to-day tasks of running a business, delivering for your clients, and supporting your team can cause strategic planning to slip. By working with a RightWay Business Partner, you’ll ensure your business is set up for success this month, and in the years to come.
At RightWay, our clients never go it alone.

Many highly ambitious business owners and entrepreneurs have dreams of taking their businesses to the big time. But scaling a business is so much more than adding headcount or indeed customers. In reality, scaling needs to be part of a careful business strategy in order to retain the magic of the small business and unlock the benefits of a large business.
Cash flow is what drives your business and keeps you awake (or preferably, asleep!) at night. Put simply, cash flow is the lifeblood of your business. It’s also one of the most important measures of success of your business. Your business is like the game of monopoly – you can’t pass “go” without cash flow.
Managing a business can be overwhelming! More often than not you’ll be wearing multiple hats throughout each day as you flit between being a people manager, managing the businesses financials, forecasting, strategically advertising your products and/or services, researching new technologies along with a multitude of other tasks required daily!
With more than half a million small business owners in New Zealand, there’s a breadth of backgrounds, cultures and approaches that make up our community. But while small businesses really do take all sorts, we’ve been able to observe the common traits that all successful owners appear to have. In this article, we’ll cover what some of these are. The good news? All of these traits can be worked on and developed with a bit of focus and the right support.
Okay, it may sound like a silly question. Of course you know your business! Who’s closer to your day to day operations than you? And that’s fair enough. But when small business owners are doing everything, there’s going to be elements of the business that get more attention than others. It’s only reasonable that providing your service to your customers is priority number one. Even well-established small businesses turning over reasonable revenue can lose sight of the detail around the financials.
Ever competed in a race where you weren’t told where the finish line was? Tried your hand at baking without a recipe book? How about leaving for holiday without packing your bags? If these all sound ridiculous to you, then let us draw the comparison with a business that doesn’t make plans. Making plans and understanding parameters is so important for business success, but many fledgling businesses have barely planned tomorrow let alone the long term.
It is very normal for business owners to be entrenched in the daily goings on of their businesses. With varying to do lists and high priority tasks requiring their daily attention, it can be hard to take the time to stop and look at the big picture. And that’s just the business part, let alone our busy, and somewhat chaotic, personal lives.
However, it is vital as a business owner or business manager to periodically pull your head out of the trenches and take the time to sit back and review your business as a whole, to ensure you are on track to success.
“RightWay has been a huge support for our organisation. We’re relatively small, and so don’t have the ability to employ our own financial manager, so having RightWay backing us up gives us peace of mind.”
Whether it’s just to check a financial report we’ve prepared, or help with tailoring a specific report in Xero, they have listened well and understood what we were trying to achieve. We’re really happy with the support we’re getting from the Rightway team.

“As an SME I couldn’t run my business without the help of a professional accounting partner. I have found RightWay to be this partner, they know what to do, how to do it and they just get on with it!”
Rightway and in particular Ellina Yoo has been invaluable to our business, and I would happily recommend their services to anybody looking to find an accounting partner that truly understands SME’s and are willing to go the extra mile.
“Shelley from RightWay jumped into our business and worked closely with us to ensure the business was heading in the right direction.”
When your business grows extremely fast, it can look great to people on the outside, but at times it doesn’t feel so great on the inside. There are two words for that, cash flow.
Having RightWay by our side makes me feel so much better. Shelley is always there when we need her and I wouldn’t want it any other way.
“It has been great to have RightWay's support”
Alysha from Rightway was quick and responsive to our timelines. She assisted to ensure the audit process ran smoothly and was there to answer any questions.
“RightWay's staff have been willing to "go the extra mile" with a high service focus.”
We have used the financial services of RightWay at Maxim Institute for some years now. We have found them to be professional and accommodating of our changing service requirements, even when these have been at relatively short notice.
