Meet our team of Accountants, Insurance Advisors and Mortgage Brokers

How it started - Hawke's Bay Accountants

Black & White Accounting Ltd opened the doors on 1 November 2010 and the directors Kirsten Wise, Simon Hankins and Dave Cheetham share the same philosophy on how accountants should deliver their services.  They felt there was a need in Hawke’s Bay for a young, dynamic accounting firm with a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.  And thus the Black & White brand was born.

At Black & White our goal is to provide you with complete certainty in all aspects of your accounting needs, complete certainty of our fees and complete certainty of delivery timeframes.  The focus is on you – the client – and working in partnership with you to ensure the success of your business.  The key to this relationship is gaining an understanding of your individual needs and tailoring our services to best meet these needs.

We deliver the full spectrum of accounting services and are committed to providing these to our clients with enthusiasm, integrity and excellence. It is for this reason we decided to bring together a team of accountants, insurance advisers and mortgage brokers.

Adding Insurance Advisors and Mortgage Brokers

​Since opening in 2010 Black & White identified our clients were increasingly asking for advice on mortgages and insurance.  As such early in 2013 the Black & White Mortgages | Insurance division was launched in response to this client demand.   This is a natural addition to the accounting services already provided and an opportunity to offer our clients a one-stop-shop approach to all their financial service needs.
​
Black & White Mortgages | Insurance is a FREE service led by Karrie Stephens providing a full range of lending and personal insurance products. 
 
As you can see the team at Black & White deliver the full spectrum of accounting, mortgage and insurance services and are committed to providing these to our clients with enthusiasm, integrity and excellence.

I moved my business to Black & White when they first started because I trust the people behind the brand.

They care about my business and personal finances and are always eager to help with any queries I have, especially when it comes to advice about my Property Portfolio.
I feel my success is their success and Tax time is a breeze with the team from Black & White beside me.
