GAccounting
Manoli Aerakis founded Go Accounting (previously Malloch McClean Tasman) in 2017 with a vision to create a modern accounting firm focused on helping clients build smarter better businesses.
In a short period of time, Go Accounting has grown to become one of the most successful accounting firms in New Zealand, winning multiple national awards.
GoAccounting boasts a talented team of 20 members across two locations, offering clients an unparalleled range of services, specialist expertise and resources to help them go futher, go faster and go smarter.
The Crux Merger.
Crux was established by Michael Parker and Nathan Silcock in 2018 as an innovative new accounting firm with a vision to set the benchmark for the firm of the future. Over a period of 4 years Crux grew to a team of 9, with a client base of growth-minded businesses throughout New Zealand.
In 2021 Crux won the Xero NZ Small Partner of the Year Award and was a finalist in the Xero NZ People’s Choice Award. The directors of Crux and Go Accounting got talking at the awards ceremony and quickly realised there was a lot of alignment and shared values between the firms. As such, we decided to join forces officially merging in April 2023. The merger brings together two progressive award winning firms, to create a new accounting powerhouse across Te Tau Ihu Top of the South.
Our Sister Firm in Southland.
GoAccounting initially operated under the Malloch McClean brand until 2025 when we decided to create our own local identity. Malloch McClean is a large market-leading Southland based firm with a long history and fantastic team of talented people. Although our brand has changed, we maintain a close association and partnership with Malloch McClean, sharing resources and knowledge to create maximum value for our clients.
