Award Winning Merger
Two award winning firms join forces to create a new powerhouse in the world of accounting across Te Tau Ihu Top of the South.
We are excited to announce the official merger of Malloch McClean Tasman (MMCA) and Crux Advice & Accounting (Crux).
This merger brings together two national award-winning firms to create a new powerhouse in the world of accounting across Te Tau Ihu Top of the South.
"After the Xero Awards ceremony last year we got talking. We quickly realised we shared similar values and principles in the field of accounting. This led us to ask the question: What would it look like if we joined forces and together gave our clients an even better accounting service? So we did just that." says Manoli Aerakis, CEO of Malloch McClean.
MMCA and Crux have followed similar journeys, with the founders of both firms leaving larger traditional practices to establish innovative modern firms focused on business development and advisory services. MMCA was established in 2017, while Crux was established in 2018. Both firms have grown at rapid pace, working with some of the region’s most successful businesses and winning awards on the national stage.
"We view MMCA as one of the most progressive and successful firms in New Zealand. They've won back-to-back Xero Awards across several categories, they're presenting at industry events as thought leaders and they're even coaching groups of other accounting firms. So naturally, we were attracted to the expertise and capabilities they bring to the table. But more importantly, when we sat down and talked, we felt there was a strong connection with aligned values and purpose.” says Michael Parker, CEO of Crux.
“Ultimately, we realised that together we could deliver more for our clients and our team than we could as separate firms. It's a clear win-win for everyone. So, whilst it's sad to say goodbye to the Crux brand, we're excited to join forces with MMCA”.
The new MMCA boasts a talented team of 20 members across two locations, offering clients an unparalleled range of services, specialist expertise and resources to help them make money, pay less tax, and get ahead faster.
