"Here at Portobello School, we use The School Office for all our accounting needs.  We have found the staff at The School Office, especially Dan and Denise, to be approachable, incredibly helpful and friendly, they also give us practical advice and sound support.   

Our GST is always filed with the IRD on time and Board reports are always sent through to us before our next meeting.  Their understanding of Xero and Hubdoc is exceptional.  We are so pleased to have The School Office as our accounting firm, and we highly recommend them to anyone."
