"We launched our business from a start up. Like a lot of start ups, you get some things right from the beginning, and some things wrong. We were very much finding our way in the first couple of years.
Darren Hull came on board not just as our accountant but as a business mentor. His commitment to our business has been ongoing. He regularly meets with me to review financial performance and business planning and development issues. I get him involved with any business issues from employment through to marketing. He has introduced disciplines such as annual budgeting and cash flow forecasts and also assisted me with financing requirements with the bank.
Darren also introduced KPI (Key Performance Indicators) such as measuring 12 month rolling subscription numbers by contract period and type as well as the annual dollar value of subscriptions by the same categories. This helps us monitor our sales trends throughout the year and measure how much better we are getting, not just at sales but also at customer retention.
Darren is invaluable as business mentor. When situations seem impossible he has the ability to see clearly, suggest alternatives, and sort through the "what ifs". He listens to ideas and plans and is always encouraging and happy to work through the nuts and bolts. Darren's mentoring skills are a must for anyone starting up in business or looking to grow their business. The staff at Venter & Hull are knowledgeable and always available to help with concerns. There is always someone on the staff who can help, whether that's to do with tax, employment law, or business concerns."

Fleet Australiasia
JOHN CARR, FLEET AUSTRALASIA, WANGANUI
"We have been clients of Renier Venter at Venter & Hull Chartered Accountants for several years now. We had been seeing another accounting firm but were unhappy with the service and fees the company had been charging so a friend referred us to Renier. Since then we have become major advocates of Renier and the firm, and often refer new clients to them.
What we've found with dealing with Renier is that we can ring or see him whenever we need any advice regarding our business. Whether it has to do with accounting issues or not we know we will receive honest, straightforward advice and if he can't help us with a particular matter he'll always refer us to somebody who can. When going over our monthly and end of year financials he always speaks in "English" and explains everything in detail.
As our company has grown, Renier and his team have been able to provide us with all the necessary advice and guidance that is needed to ensure the continued success of our business. We deal in multiple currencies both in sales and purchases with the UK, USA and Australia and everything is executed with great accuracy.
The team at Fleet Australasia regularly refer people to Renier for friendly, honest and reliable accounting advice and business support.
"Honest, straightforward advice when we need it."
Bernard & Sharon Liburn
CONTRACTING, SCHOOL BUS RUNS & FARMING
"When we came to Venter and Hull as clients, the first thing that happened was Renier saved us about $60k in tax, through giving us some outstanding advice – that we hadn't had with our previous accounting relationship!
We have multiple businesses in the Wanganui/Manawatu region and have been delighted with the advice and service we get from Renier and the team. What has particularly impressed us is the friendly 'feel' of the business. Although we live in the Manawatu, the help we receive is outstanding and the utmost attention is given no matter how big or small our enquiries or requirements are. They are very professional, timely and accurate with both their advice and service and do not mind to travel and visit me at my home or place of work.
However, what stands the team clearly above the crowd are their communication and relationship skills. When I speak Renier there is no jargon or confusing terminology. Just straightforward clear advice put forward in an easy to understand manner. The technical and complex is made very simple with clear explanations on all matters related to my financial affairs.
Renier has the ability to think outside the square and is happy to spend time assisting us with achieving our goals. This level of service and support of clients is not often seen today, and is something that sets Renier and Venter & Hull apart from other service providers.
You can judge a business by the quality of the people they employ. We would highly recommend them to business owners who are looking for a confident, forward thinking accounting firm who take a real interest in you and your needs."
