TOM NAYLOR

If it’s even slightly edible, Tom’s eaten it

Director

With plenty of brains above his shoulders and more drive than a supercharged mustang, Tom’s going places and it’s impossible not to be inspired.

Tom has built a wealth of knowledge around the best in’s and out’s of property dealings and has a keen eye for promising start-up businesses.

Like building a great sandwich, Tom also knows how best to structure ventures to extract maximum returns while minimising risk exposure.

Away from the desk, hockey, tennis, squash and, as mentioned above, anything that can be consumed, dominate this man’s life.

The team at outside are a dedicated bunch. They go above and beyond in every situation and provide so much more than your standard tax accounting. They have developed process maps, management reports, managed our invoicing, payables and pretty much taken care of every part of our business when we have needed it. They are a big part of our business and will continue to be moving forward.

A great team - striking the right balance between professional, knowledgable accountants while being fun and personable to deal with. Always quick to respond. Harri has prepared my end of year statements and GST returns. I'm based in Auckland and have managed to snag a spot at the "co-working desk" in their office a couple of times while I'm down in Wellington.

These guys are not the typical accountants. We engaged with Outside originally for our small business accounting needs, but over the years they have provided invaluable services above and beyond. We have grown as a business and Outside worked alongside us the entire time, supporting us with expert and professional advice throughout our journey. They are an awesome bunch, so easy to get along with, they break everything down into regular speak and no question is too dumb to ask. Their door is always open, everyone is super welcoming and they make a mean coffee.
