The office manager is planning another holiday and she has contacted Sandi to make sure she is available to cover her while she goes on holiday. Previously when she returned from her holiday she found her admin office in a mess and a state of disaster. She had to spend numerous stressful hours sorting everything out to return to some form of order. So much for her holiday. She wished she had engaged a reliable and capable office locum to run the office when she was away.

The last time she went on a holiday she engaged Sandi from to be the office locum while she's away. On her return she found that not only was everything running smoothly at the office, Sandi has made many improvements in running the office.

I asked Sandi : "What's an office locum?". Sandi explained that its someone you engaged to keep your office and admin function running when the office/admin person is away, much like a locum doctor filling in for another doctor. This is now Sandi’s new service she could provide for her clients.

Sandi is a highly reliable bookkeeper that goes far beyond just keeping books. When you engage her service she goes above and beyond to help you manage your cash flow and keep you out of trouble by helping you and your team to understand, interpret financial reports and take the actions required to optimize your cash flow.

Sandi helps business owners to fulfil their tax obligations and setting up multiple bank accounts to ensure funds are available for paying IRD on time with reminders for upcoming IRD payments. Over the years she had built up such a strong relationship with IRD that she could negotiate with IRD to work out tax obligation solutions on client's behalf.

Recently she has helped a client to fix incorrect posting of government resurgence payments by the accountant as an expense rather than revenue, a demonstration of her in depth bookkeeping knowledge and experience.

If you’re looking for a highly experience and reliable bookkeeper or an office locum, make sure you get in touch with Sandi Kerr at:

It was a really interesting chat and sharing of business strategies between Keath Seto the Business Coach (that's me) and Mahesh Amrute after our network meeting.

Mahesh is a financial adviser providing financial advice through his company Ambadnya Financial Services Limited trading under the Finance Experts brand.

"Instead of talking to just one financial institution for your financing options, I always aim to provide my clients with the right financing options from different sources, detailed with short and long term implications and consequences so they can see the full picture and make a decision based on the outcome that best suits them." said Mahesh.

Mahesh finds it very gratifying and fulfilling from being able to help his clients to achieve the right financial resourcing for whatever project or business that they are working on. Whether it's helping someone to get on the property ladder, refinancing, top ups, financing property investments, or assets and equipment acquisition or other financing needs, he is qualified and experienced to help you get what you need.

After 15 years of lending experience working for two major banks in New Zealand Mahesh is looking for new challenges by starting his own financial services company with two other experienced bankers and aiming to grow it to a sizeable team. With his vast experience and access to all tiers of lending institutions he is in the best position to come up with the right financing solutions for his clients. Typically he will listen to the clients' needs and brainstorm with them to come up with different options, outlining the pros and cons of each one and guide the client to choose the option that is right for them. Over the years Mahesh has accumulated a vast range of clients from first home buyers to multi properties investors and developers.

As a spiritual person Mahesh views helping his client to get the right solution as the most important priority over the gain for himself. Securing a loan is only the first step of a long term relationship for Mahesh to help his clients to support and help them with the right courses of action on all matters related to financing. It's a long journey together, not just a transaction.

If you need finance for owner occupied or investment property or asset acquisition, or just want a review of your existing financing, make sure you give Mahesh a call 0274 624 374.

A lady was going to sell her old home and buy a smaller place. Given the current market she will not gain much as her new home would cost all her proceeds from her current home leaving her to live on a tight budget. A better option is to rent out her large property and rent a smaller place as this will provide her with additional income for a more comfortable living. Jasmine advised her to take that option instead of selling the house. Getting the best solution for potential clients, even if it meant not getting immediate listing or sale is more important to Jasmine Masih of Harcourt Greenlane then earning a commission. She is happy that the client has the best outcome from the situation. Helping people is her first nature which strongly align with her Christian faith.
It is also part of the reason why she decided to join Client First Harcourts where the client's needs come first.
Jasmine grew up in a family helping to teach at a private primary school in India. She than came to New Zealand to help charities raise funds. She was hired by Unicef as a fund raiser in March 2012.

After starting a family in 2018 she has been looking for a career which would give her the flexibility to have time both for work and the family.
She decided to become a real estate agent and after securing the necessary qualification she started with Harcourt Greenlane in November 2020.
Jasmine pride herself as a good listener with empathy. She is always willing to help whether there is any financial reward or not. You can trust her to listen to your situation and work with you for the best solution for you.

Brenton Webber of Half Time Orange Ltd has been serving customers and clients his working life, from Sales Executive to BDM to Director of Customer Experience, selling services from advertising to start up support, to teaching diving and djing. His frustrations are that most businesses focus on making the sale for the benefits of the business instead of for the customer's experience and outcomes. All the different stakeholders in a business - shareholders, leaders, managers, employees, customers and prospective customers are focusing on making that sale, closing that deal and making that profit for the business.

"What about the customer's experience? What about their desired outcomes?" screamed Brenton, "From need awareness when we search for information, through evaluation and purchasing decision & experience, to receiving the product service and after purchase support experience. Does your business provide your customers great experiences along the whole customer journey?"

All stakeholders inside the company must focus on providing the best customer experience, not just doing their jobs/functions they're paid to do. That's Brenton's mission with Half Time Orange. Great customer experience will lead to great satisfaction, repeat sales, other product/services offered and referrals of other customers. This in turn will fuel growth, profitability, and creates truly happy stakeholders.

Brenton will assess your business's customer experience readiness among all the stakeholders, identify the areas that need to work on, generate a customized solution for your business and provide the training and support to get all the stakeholders to understand and adopt the customer experience (CX) mentality.

Your whole team will step up, showing up in performing their roles with optimizing the customers experience in mind and delivering better customer outcomes that deliver better business outcomes. It will also provide a focus that breaks down functional and territorial barriers, uniting the whole team.

Half Time Orange is the first organization to offer a comprehensive CX optimization package in NZ. Brenton is starting a revolution here for the customers.

Don't get left behind. Call Brenton for a free no obligation assessment of your business.
