Stress-free bookkeeping and payroll services in Whangarei
You love your business and you look after your customers. Bookkeeping and office administration is a different job entirely, and for most owners it is the one that eats the evenings and never quite feels finished. We take that weight off your shoulders so you can get back to the work you actually started the business to do.

Let’s streamline your admin and bookkeeping process and make sure you’re ready not only at tax time, but all the time.
Why business owners choose iReconcile
Every business owner wants to spend more time on the work that generates results and less time wondering whether the accounts have been reconciled correctly. Our clients include sole traders, SMEs, start-ups, tradies, partnerships and limited companies, and what they have in common is wanting clarity on the numbers without having to become a bookkeeper themselves.
We give them that clarity. Specialising in bookkeeping, office administration and all areas of business accounts, iReconcile is a reliable and secure service you can trust with the ins and outs of your daily finances - saving you time and money because everything stays compliant and up to date.
We are Whangarei based and we know the Northland business landscape well, but cloud accounting means we are equally at home working with a business anywhere in New Zealand.
It is people first, then numbers
Good bookkeeping is the foundation of a good business, but there is much more on the line than the numbers. We appreciate the hopes and the work you have invested in your business, and we want to see it thrive.
With common sense, non-judgemental advice and practical problem solving, we take clients from where they are to where they want to be. It is about knowing the books are balanced and the admin is organised, so you can stop carrying it around in your head.

What our clients say about working with iReconcile
I have been working with iReconcile for over 7 years and am extremely satisfied with the service. Kirrily and her team take care of all bookkeeping components required to manage my complex array of entities. Kirrily goes above and beyond the call of duty to handle GST filing, reporting, accounts payable and works seamlessly with the accountant for tax preparation. I highly recommend using the bookkeeping services from iReconcile.
We have been in business for almost 4 years now. The first year and a half we struggled with reconciling, payroll and understanding our accounts. Kirrily was recommended to us by a mutual friend, and since having iReconcile on board our administration has been a breeze. We learnt so much on how to make Xero work for us, our payroll is always on time, plus she is always great to have around.
My wife is a dentist and I am a G.P. We moved to NZ in 2014 from the USA with our daughters. We were both working full time with 2 young girls and needed a financial assistant to help us pay bills, gather info for immigration, help us with record keeping and professional licensing. We also had to face the mountainous task of filing taxes in both NZ and the USA. Kirrily keeps all our finances up to date and does it with utmost professionalism.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. We are based in Whangarei and we enjoy working face to face with Northland businesses, but a good part of our client base is elsewhere in New Zealand and works with us entirely remotely. Secure file sharing, shared access to Xero or MYOB and video calls make the service identical wherever you are.
A bookkeeper looks after the day to day - reconciling the bank, coding transactions, invoicing, payroll and GST - so the records are accurate all year. Your accountant then uses those records for annual financial statements, the income tax return and tax planning advice. The two work together, and good bookkeeping usually reduces your accountancy bill.
It depends on the size of the business, the volume of transactions, whether payroll is involved and what state the accounts are in now. We look at your actual situation before quoting, and we use fixed monthly fees wherever we can so you are never watching the clock when you ring with a question.
Yes, and gladly. Untangling accounts that have got behind is one of the things we do well. There is no judgement and no lecture - just an assessment of where things stand, a quote for putting it right, and a plan to keep it that way afterwards.
Yes. We have many years of experience supporting US citizens living and working in New Zealand who need to stay compliant with the IRS, including annual FBAR reporting for foreign bank and financial accounts. If that applies to you, do get in touch.
