Accounting Software Advisory Services

Our extensive experience with MYOB and other accounting / payroll software packages means we can give you expert advice including:

  • Forensic Accounting and Fraud Detection
  • Procedure Flowcharts and Documentation

Forensic Accounting and Fraud Detection

Perhaps your accounts person has left or gone on holiday and things are not adding up. Paying an accountant to investigate issues within your accounting system can be extremely costly and often accountants are not experts in the workings of the software. We know the software inside-out so can quickly alert you to the following:

  • Fraud or suspicious transactions
  • Damages or losses from a breach of contract or insolvency
  • Inefficient purchasing practices
  • Detailed transaction history or any complex forensic accounting case for a specific customer, supplier or stock item
  • Missing source documents
  • Petty cash not balancing – where has the money gone?
  • Credit cards used for non-business activities
  • GST returns not completed or finalised causing you penalties and interest charges

We know where to look and what to look for so can save you thousands of dollars and bring peace of mind. Confidentiality assured.

Procedure Flowcharts and Documentation

This service is writing up business procedures so that everyone knows what must happen on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. The procedures need to be clear and concise so that anyone can read and understand.


We can do the following for you:

  • Write accounting/payroll procedure manuals which can be used for new/existing staff
  • Write procedures to document a single process e.g. stock building, purchase orders
  • Check existing procedures and recommend changes to them
  • Check procedures to be sure that the software is being used correctly and work is not duplicated.
  • Recommend changes to existing software or an add-on product where necessary

We follow standard practice when it comes to accounting systems and procedures.

What experience do we have?

We have > 20 years hands on MYOB/Xero accounting experience. Our consultants are experts with all the MYOB packages. 

Our 'go to'

AccountAgility is our ‘go to’ when we have clients getting messed up with their MYOB files. Lynley will go in, health check the file, correct the errors and train the bookkeeper to follow best practice.

We look after the client’s tax requirements, but she will dig deep into the software to ensure the reports are reliable.

Streamlined our systems

Gow Langford Gallery is NZ’s largest privately owned art gallery. The Gallery represents over thirty established New Zealand and international artists. The accounting systems need to be able to accommodate complex transactions.

AccountAgility have worked closely with us, supporting both AccountRight and Payroll since 2012. We have streamlined our systems to eliminate additional spreadsheets and paper documents and now make maximum use of AccountRight.
