The Outsider is a Christchurch-based accounting and advisory firm working with businesses, families and investors throughout Canterbury and beyond.
Our directors and many of our team have worked in the region for more than 20 years. That local experience gives us a strong understanding of the opportunities and challenges facing our clients, as well as the value of having trusted advisers, who are there when it matters.
Based in central Christchurch, we are intentionally relationship focused. We take the time to understand our clients, their businesses and what they want to achieve.
We provide everything from annual accounts and tax compliance to practical business advice and support.
Our role is not simply to report on what has already happened. We help our clients understand their numbers, make informed decisions, and build stronger businesses and financial futures.
Our clients operate across a wide range of industries, including professional services, architecture, engineering, manufacturing, property and investment. We also advise a number of established, privately owned businesses and family groups.
This breadth of experience allows us to bring practical insight and a fresh perspective to each client relationship.
Christchurch and Canterbury are important to us. We support local charities, youth groups, sports teams, and community initiatives, and we look for meaningful ways to contribute throughout the year.
We have worked alongside our clients through periods of disruption, recovery, and growth. We understand that circumstances change and that good advice is particularly valuable when decisions are difficult, or the way forward is unclear.
Each year, our directors step away from the office for a day to review the year and plan for the future. We often choose somewhere in the South Island that gives us the space to think clearly, whether that is the Hooker Valley, Banks Peninsula or Arthur’s Pass.
It is a small tradition that reflects who we are: grounded in Canterbury, connected to our surroundings and always looking ahead.
We work with clients right across the country. Wherever you are, let's have a chat about where your business is headed.
