The Cat & Hat Inn"As a new business we were recommended to P.H. Hunt by an existing client of theirs. We were in the process of buying a run-down business and bringing it back to life. The initial negotiations were fraught with difficulties and we then had to make the place presentable and run the business. We were able to contact partner David Hunt whenever a difficulty arose to discuss what needed to be done - David is an ex-publican himself so understands the pressures of the trade. On his advice we decided to use QuickBooks as our accounting package and received training starting very much from scratch. We can concur with the initial recommendation we received and are extremely pleased to be able to pass that on again." Trisha Hunney, partner, the Cat & Hat Inn, North Pass South Vue Farms"Can your bookkeeper tell one end of a sheep from another? After Foot and Mouth my old bookkeepers , a very well known firm of ‘experts’ dealt with the receipt of the compensation monies. But a chance discussion with Phillis Hunt soon made me doubt the advice already given to me. The Hunt team re-looked at my case and by using the available rules, and identifying the treatment based on the type of sheep we re-stocked with, reduced my tax bill by just under $20,000. I now know who the local farming experts are! I have now become an client and I would recommend them to anyone in the agricultural sector due to the depth of their specialist knowledge. Since changing to P.H. Hunt, they have also helped to set up my QuickBooks Accounting package and to provide training to enable us to maintain our records more easily and to ensure that management information is readily available. I also find it extremely helpful to have someone who is easily approachable and knowledgeable with whom I can discuss ideas to help ensure I make the right business decision." South Vue Farms Ltd, Armarville Penley Lawn Tennis Club"In 2001 we sold some land off for development and wanted to use the money for building a new clubhouse; we were fortunate enough to get a lottery grant towards this. Unfortunately the CRA wanted a slice of this good fortune by taxing a good proportion of the proceeds. Hunt disagreed with this view and, through a long process ending up in court in March 2005, were successful in saving the club $27,000 in Capital Gains Tax. An eye for detail and common sense started the process and … and logic saw it through. We have been using Hunt since 2003 for our accounting support and guidance including running the monthly payroll and are extremely happy with the accuracy, timeliness and general support given by them and would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone."
