๐ฑ Building Huia One Step at a Time
Running a business is often about steady progress rather than overnight success, so I thought I'd share a couple of milestones we're working towards at Huia Business Services.
โ
Becoming a Xero Gold Partner
Current points: 160
Remaining: 140
Progress: 53% complete
One of the biggest benefits of reaching Gold Partner status is that we will be able to offer eligible clients 25% off their Xero subscription (up from the 20% discount we can currently offer).
โ
Becoming an IRD Tax Agent
Application submitted
Progress: 50% complete
This is another important step in expanding the support we can provide to our clients and helping make tax and compliance processes smoother.
These milestones aren't just badges. They're investments in providing better value, better support and better outcomes for the businesses we work alongside every day.
๐ Thank you to our clients, team and supporters who are part of the journey.

Sharyn and I are now officially Level 3 Xero Certified Specialists โ pretty much the black belt of Xero ๐ฅ
Weโre in Xero every day helping our clients, so itโs awesome to have that experience recognised at the top level.
Always learning, always improving, and making sure weโre bringing the best to the businesses we work with ๐
Thanks Xero for recognising advance level users. โค๏ธ

โจ Weโve created space for new clients โจ
Over the past year, weโve invested heavily in improving our systems, workflows, and automation at Huia Business Services. The result?
โ
Faster turnaround
โ
Better visibility for our clients
โ
And nowโฆ capacity to take on a small number of new clients.
If youโre a business owner looking for proactive bookkeeping, Xero support, or help getting your numbers working for you (not against you), weโd love to chat.
We work best with growing SMEs who value clarity, compliance, and straightโup communication.
