Our first-ever conference was held amongst the beautiful surrounds of Rotorua, and we thought it was only fitting to return to the same setting for our Golden Jubilee. Join us for a celebration of fifty years of staying ahead of the curve, together, in New Zealand’s tax and accounting landscape.
This anniversary isn’t just about the numbers. It’s a chance to honour our history as well as our future and come together for celebration, connection and fun.
Our conference, Liquid Gold, is about the movement of ideas. It’s a chance to honour our history as well as our future and come together for celebration, connection and fun.
