Bring On Monday's eagerness to help and powerful insights have made for a tremendously valuable working relationship!
Today, Bring On Monday is an intuitive, people-first accounting firm based in Tauranga, working with small business owners across New Zealand to reduce stress, create momentum, and support smarter decisions. But it all started with something simple... casual Monday morning meetups covering everything from mindset and money to systems and structure.
After a few Q&As, it became clear: most business owners didn’t feel confident about their numbers, and didn’t have anyone they could really lean on. What they needed wasn’t just help with bookkeeping, but someone to clean things up, simplify systems, and offer advice that actually made sense. Support that was affordable, practical, and built around their goals.
Bring On Monday grew into something bigger, a full business accounting, bookkeeping, and advisory service built specifically for entrepreneurs. Same empowering mindset, same practical approach. And yep, we still run the odd Monday morning session for old times’ sake.
The catch we exist to counter: unless you’re a financial savant, all business owners face the same catch-22. To grow a business, you need more than compliance — you need clarity, good advice, and numbers you can actually use. And spoiler alert: there’s not a lot of good advice out there.
For a growing business owner, the options usually suck: spend big on professionals who don’t get your world, or go DIY and burn time trying to figure it all out yourself with plenty of room for error. We’ve been there. That’s why we built something better.
When we started our first business well over a decade ago, we needed financial systems that worked, not just to stay compliant, but to help us grow. Hiring an expert wasn’t in the budget, so we figured it out the long way. Now, we’ve built the solution we wish we had back then: smart, affordable accounting and advisory support with a solid dose of strategy, insight, and empathy.
We’re business owners too, so we built the kind of accounting partner we wish we had — one that shows up, stays close, and actually helps you grow. With our accounting engine room based in South Africa and our advisors on the ground in New Zealand, we’ve designed our team structure to give you better support, faster answers, and more face time — all without the scary price tag.
We don’t just file your tax returns and disappear. We take responsibility for your numbers, your systems, and your tax position — and we stick around to make sure they’re working for you. Whether it’s improving margins, freeing up your time, or helping you hit a life goal, we back you with practical advice and clear financials that actually mean something.
We work best with ambitious small business owners who want more clarity, more control, and a partner who’s in it with them. If you’re ready to invest in your future with a strategic, switched-on team who’ll back your business and your life... we’re ready when you are.
