'MCN moved to LSH from our accountant of 7 years because they didn't just offer us our accounts on an annual basis, but proactively looked forward to how our business can improve and what we need to do to get there.  We started using LSH in 2006 to do some of our daily bookkeeping due to staff shortages and we are now outsourcing all our accounting needs, daily, annually and payroll.  By being proactive around our finances LSH have helped us grow our business, something that we have not received from our accountant in the past.  The team at LSH speak plain english and are always willing to go that extra step, which is the difference between service and 'great' service.  They make you feel like they understand your business and the needs associated with it.  We love the fact that they are not only our accountants but our business consultant and mentor in one.  They manage all of our business planning and HR needs.  If you are in business, you need Lisa and her team.  They are the difference between surviving and success.'  Bronwyn Mir, Managing Director, Managed Computer Networks, www.mcn.co.nz

'When I set up my business in 2010 LSH came highly recommended to me as the people to manage the business aspect of the firm.  They have certainly lived up to their reputation.  Lisa, Sarah and Kelly have managed everything from week to week invoicing of clients, to annual accounts, debt collection and business management.  Their expertise is invaluable to the running of our business and their ability to take on the challenges presented by a law firm such as trust accounting and legal aid invoicing ensures that our time is better spent doing what we do best - practicing law.  Not only do they manage the business, they assist in the ongoing business growth and planning, providing strategic planning and ensuring we stick to the strategies!  I cannot recommend them highly enough.'  Caroline McCarthy, Managing Director, McCarthy Law Ltd, www.mccarthylaw.co.nz

'My partner and I have a number of small business.  For the past four years or so, LSH Business Services have provided our bookkeeping services with which we have been very satisfied.  We were delighted when LSH began to offer tax accounting services as well as we had not been satisfied with our accountants.  2010 was the first year LSH dealt with our tax and we have been pleased with the way Lisa Johnston, Kelly Miller and the team have handled the transition from our previous accountants, the way they have dealt with queries and ironed out any issues, and the speed with which the year end was completed.  We would recommend LSH as a highly professional business services company.'

LSH Business Services have been looking after our bookkeeing and administration for over three years now and they have been a real life saver.  Lisa came in and took control of our accounts and administration with ease and professionalism.  Lisa's and LSH's flexibility is a huge asset to us; we can use them as much or as little as we want.  But to be honest, the more LSH does for us, the more we want them to do.   It is great to be able to hand over all of my accounts and admin to LSH and not have to worry about it anymore.  I absolutely have no hesitation in recommending LSH to any business at all.'  Steve Hammond, Managing Director, Terrace Heights Estate

'We contracted the services of LSH Business Services about three years ago.  We have found LSH to be extremely professional, yet with a very personal approach.  We commented recently that we feel we are very important to them, and I think they have achieved this through really making an effort to understand our type of business.  The team go the extra mile and this was valuable to us when we took a months holiday and all mail was collected, processed and all financial and other matters were in perfect order on our return.  The team show a high degree of confidentiality and all matters are dealt with quickly and with no fuss.  We would thoroughly recommend LSH Business Services as a valuable and necessary link in any business.' Jan Borland, Director, Borland Painting & Developments Ltd

'When LSH Business Services were recommended to us, our business was in dire need of HELP.  The phone call I made that day was one of the BEST EVER business decisions we had made.  The second best ever decision was to move all of our accountancy to LSH.  Within minutes of meeting and having an informal chat with Lisa, my husband and I knew that LSH was the company for us.  Everything we were looking for in an accountancy/consulting company came in the LSH package.  Lisa has helped streamline MYOB, our business, outlined potential problems, current problems and basically put us back on track.  Nothing is a problem for Lisa and her team, they are always available whether it's by phone or email.  LSH has assisted us with not only with the way we manage the business but also our ongoing goals, the growth of our business, business planning and implementing budgets as well as ensuring that we stick to them!!  We would definitely recommend Lisa, Kelly and their highly professional and dedicated team at LSH to anyone at a blink of an eye.'
