Client Testimonials

Don’t just listen to us……Here is what some of our clients are saying about our services...

As a charity, having auditors we can trust is incredibly important. Lynch & Associates have been professional, thorough, and approachable throughout our engagement with them. They understand the not-for-profit sector and are always willing to answer questions and provide practical advice when needed. Their expertise gives both management and the Board confidence in our financial reporting, and we greatly appreciate the support they provide, particularly when working to our tight AGM timeframes.
ANGELA CRATES : GM FINANCE & OPERATIONS, CYSTIC FIBROSIS NEW ZEALAND
A huge “Thank You” and shout out to the team at Lynch & Associates for all the consulting and accounting services they have done for my wife and I over the past 12 years. The team have work diligently on both trusts and a number of companies for us over this time and long may this continue. It is so great to engage with a professional proactive team that results in no sudden surprises at the end of the tax period. We look forward to the catching up soon and hearing what is new and how else we can move forward faster financially.
JOHN & SHELLEY BISHOP
At Kenzie’s Gift, families trust us to support their children through serious illness and grief, and our supporters trust us to use their donations well. Errol Burn and the team at Lynch & Associates bring rigour and care to our audit, helping us demonstrate the accountability our supporters deserve. I particularly value Errol’s personal interest in our charity and the families we support. His understanding of our purpose, alongside the team’s expertise, makes this a relationship we greatly value. I would recommend them without hesitation
NIC RUSSELL : FOUNDER AND CEO, KENZIE'S GIFT CHARITABLE TRUST
Multiple Sclerosis Auckland has been fortunate to have had Lynch & Associates provide our charity with business advice and audit our annual financials for many years. Throughout that time we have found all the staff at Lynch & Associates to be dedicated, professional and best of all, easy to work with. Truly a 5 star organisation. Multiple Sclerosis Auckland highly recommends Lynch & Associates to any who require Accounting and/or Business Advisory Services.
MARK BLACKIE : BUSINESS MANAGER, MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS AUCKLAND 
It has been a pleasure working with Errol Burn and the team at Lynch and Associates, their insight, intelligence and in-depth knowledge of the social impact sector has allowed the Sir John Kirwan Foundation to flourish and grow. Fully supporting the Foundation in all of its financial needs, Lynch and Associates have never failed to deliver, always providing calm, thoughtful advice together with encouraging us to consider every aspect, to ensure maximum benefit.
NIKKI FLEXMAN : HEAD OF GROWTH, SIR JOHN KIRWAN FOUNDATION
New Zealand Ecolabelling Trust has been a client of Lynch & Associates for over 10 years. Errol and the team are professional, knowledgeable and can be relied upon to always meet our tight timeframes. I find them a pleasure to deal with and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend their services.
FRANCESCA LIPSCOMBE : GENERAL MANAGER, NEW ZEALAND ECOLABELLING TRUST
As CEO of the Sir John Kirwan Foundation during a period of significant growth, the support, guidance and counsel of Errol Burn and the team at Lynch & Associates have been invaluable. Those of us working in the for-purpose sector are delivering critical services, often with limited budgets and resources. Having Errol available to provide calm, honest and practical advice has often made the difference between a good decision and a poor one. We all need trusted people around us who bring a different perspective, challenge our thinking and encourage us to view situations through a new lens—and Errol does exactly that. He genuinely feels like part of our team. We also receive wonderful support from Michelle in the payroll space, where no request is ever too big or too small. We value our relationship with Errol and the entire team at Lynch & Associates enormously and would recommend them without hesitation.
SARAH MANLEY : CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, SIR JOHN KIRWAN FOUNDATION
Kia ora. I needed peace of mind in the handling of my tax affairs and Family Trust annual accounting and management. But my relationship is not just a business one, I have appreciated the friendly basis, Michelle and Tasneem, nga mihi ki a korua. I have looked for sound, efficient, robust and timely attention and the company has given me that surety. Tena koutou katoa.
WITI IHIMAERA-SMILER
We highly value our working relationship since 2009 with Lynch & Associates. As well as providing the normal compliance services, they have been able to provide top professional advice and support at the highest level. The large part of our successful working relationship comes down to personalities and we always find Chris Lynch, Errol Burn and the Lynch & Associates team are friendly and approachable. They are always keen to listen and promptly attend to our needs when required. The added value of the services that Lynch & Associates provides is more than excellent. We have no hesitation in recommending Lynch & Associates accounting, audit and advisory services. 
MAIAVA V.L. SETEFANO : EXECUTIVE VICE-PRESIDENT, AUCKLAND SAMOAN CATHOLIC COMMUNITY
 Lynch & Associates have acted as our auditors for 8 years and we have always found them to be professional, responsive and well informed. During this time we have consistently expanded our services and have found Errol and his team to be of great assistance with suggesting and informing the new processes required by this expansion.
JAN RUTLEDGE : GENERAL MANAGER, DE PAUL HOUSE CHARITABLE TRUST BOARD.
As a senior manager/CEO of several not-for-profit organisations I have worked with Lynch and Associates over a number of years.  I have always found their service to be professional. Both governance and management have been reassured that the process has been thorough and rigorous and have appreciated the audit being carried out to meet tight AGM timeframes in a cost effective manner. As a charity, performance reporting needs to hit the mark for donors’ scrutiny and I have appreciated the assistance Lynch and Associates have given us to enable this.
JANE BOLLARD : EX-CEO, CYSTIC FIBROSIS NEW ZEALAND
The Maritime Museum Foundation has enjoyed a significant long term relationship with the team at Lynch & Associates. They continue to provide our board with outstanding professional service and sage advice. I would unreservedly recommend their accounting, audit and advisory services.
ERIC MAHONEY : CHAIRMAN, MARITIME MUSEUM FOUNDATION 
North Shore Riding for the Disabled is one of 50 RDA Groups across the country. Our previous auditor resigned suddenly and we were left searching for a new firm to handle our work. Errol Burn at Lynch & Associates stepped straight into the situation and we could not be more delighted with the way in which our subsequent audit was managed. Timely, insightful and always available, we could not be more pleased and look forward to a long relationship – indeed, we were more than happy to recommend them to our National Body when their audit was taken to the market.
TIM LOFTS : PRESIDENT, NORTH SHORE RIDING FOR THE DISABLED
We have used Lynch and Associates services for over 15 years and have always found them to be a very friendly, helpful and professional team. They also really care about us and our business, as they went out of their way to assist us during difficult times. We have also used their professional business services that proved invaluable in helping us to get through a rough patch and refocus our efforts. Their approach to business services was understanding of our situation but well blended with firm encouragement to address issues and make strides towards improvement. We highly recommend them for both their accounting and professional business services.
