Sidekick are Xero Accountants and are leading the revolution in cloud computing for accounting – we were the world’s first Platinum Partner of the highly regarded Xero accounting software. Not to mention we picked up Xero’s NZ Partner of the Year award twice – for 2010 and 2011…but who’s counting.

Sidekick in my opinion has changed the face of rural accounting and has taken “doing the numbers” to a whole new level. Having been with Sidekick for only 6 months, they have completely changed the way we do business – in such a positive, proactive way.

Their modern, fresh approach to not only accounting, but business planning, mentoring, forecasting, and succession planning is executed smoothly and professionally by a very friendly, well qualified and helpful team dedicated to providing a great service. Among the positives, being a Xero based accountancy firm, meaning our own Xero program got a real super-tune, with the addition of Hubdoc, Paysauce, and Figured- all easy and accessible add-ons though any Xero subscription which has made day to day office life for us so much easier.

Being able to continue our meetings via online sessions has been another big benefit especially in these trying times with COVID-19. Very happy to have made to choice to come across to Sidekick and look forward to working closely with Richard, Kirsty, and the team in the future.

Could not recommend them enough!

Irricon Resource Solutions has completed their [COVID] Business Continuity Plan. It’s awesome to have a plan when it seems there aren’t any plans anymore, with the impact of Covid-19. The whole Sidekick team is providing excellent support to Irricon, during this time when we need it most.

In its 50 plus years, Edgeworth Farm has grown to nearly 500ha. Agronomic management had grown
with it but financial management was stale and needed a kick along, no longer just being a tax
accountant was acceptable so here entered Richard, Kirsty and the team not only could they kick,
after all it’s written on their cars, they weren’t afraid to either.

On the recommendation of my daughter, Richard Wheeler {Wheels}, Kirsty and the team sat down in
the farm office along with the directors. They outlined what was being offered: planning meetings,
budgeting, annual accounts, and liaising with the bank all at a very reasonable cost.

We liked what we saw so took a deep breath and moved all our work across to them, and a year on the
rest is history. Out with the old accounting software and in with Xero and Hubdoc. Statements are
now photographed or emailed to the hub where a push of a key completes the bi-monthly GST
return and then they lie in wait for the year-end commitments.

Richard and the team are young committed and enthusiastic, we’ve made a decision that will both
grow our business and theirs. We can now get on with farming and look forward to the 4 planning
meetings per year.

I unreservedly recommend Sidekick Rural to you.

We had a business planning session with Richard Wheeler via video link earlier in the week. With so much uncertainty in the world [during COVID] we really valued the flexibility of Sidekick Rural to do this without being face to face! The importance of looking forward and having plans in place for our business means we will be ready to push play when things get moving again. Richard is professional and personable and has a wealth of knowledge in this space. We are certainly happy we made the switch to Sidekick Rural!
