Success Stories

How we've helped others get ahead.

Every client is different, but the theme is the same. Here's a selection of what we've done — and what people have to say about it.

In their words
I really love working with the Convex team — it's so refreshing to interact with an accounting firm that sees more than just the need to complete compliance stuff.

Construction

From buying the business to building it

The challenge

A commercial construction and project-management operator wanted to buy the business he ran. He knew the sector inside out, but needed help making the business side happen — then keeping the sales pipeline, job profitability and taxes on track.

How we helped

We handled the compliance — tax, GST and anything IRD-related — but the real work was the finance to buy the business. We led the forecasting and planning that got the bank onside, then stayed on as the forecasting partner and sounding board through every expansion decision.

"While they are across the details on tax, they have more than one eye on the long-term future of the business. Convex see the opportunities for us — by knowing me, knowing my business, and having a conversation about the future from there."
Not-for-profit

A finance function, fully outsourced

The challenge

A community-health organisation with 45 staff lost its Finance Manager suddenly. Payroll, IRD filings, monthly and annual reporting, funding contracts and creditor management were all stretched and inefficient.

How we helped

We proposed a one-stop-shop: bookkeeping and Xero, payroll and IRD filings, creditors and expense management, GST and month-end reporting, plus year-end policies and audit support. Our service effectively replaced the Finance Manager and took pressure off the Accounts Administrator.

Professional services

From self-employed to a real business

The challenge

Two successful self-employed coaches had a vision: build a collective of equally talented coaches. They had the capability, resources and drive — they needed help joining the dots and making it happen.

How we helped

From the outset we designed the business and made sure the financial model would work, with the capital to get through and the ability to scale. We are the sounding board and the sense-check — and we streamlined the processes so they could focus on their clients, not their invoices.

"Convex has been instrumental in taking us from individual coaches to a team taking our customers to the next level. Working with Convex has short-circuited our growth — helping us focus on what we do well and achieve more, quicker."
