Insights into bookkeeping in New Zealand

The Annual Benchmark Survey is commissioned each year to gain insight into the bookkeeping profession and the successes and challenges that Bookkeepers and the bookkeeping industry face.

The results from this survey will provide valuable information, not only to the bookkeeping profession, but to government bodies, software companies and the education sector, to help them understand the reality of New Zealand bookkeeping professionals. Anyone working in an area relating to the bookkeeping profession is invited to complete this survey. 

As this annual survey continues to progress and grow, we hope to provide even more beneficial and comparative data which can only increase the awareness of how Bookkeepers are helping small business across New Zealand.
