Sue Nisbett (director, principal, chartered accountant) – Sue came to Motueka in 1992 after a number of years in Hokitika working in a Chartered Accountants practice and ever since then has travelled monthly to the coast visiting clients. This however doesn’t make Sue a West Coaster, as she only lived there for 12 years after being born in Hawkes Bay and attending University in Wellington. As well as clients on the West Coast, Sue also has clients to visit all over the top of the South Island, and finds seeing clients outside the office beneficial to both client and accountant. Sue works Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. 8.30am to 5pm with Wednesdays off. [email protected]

Having spent all his working life (apart from 3 years in the Motel industry) in chartered accountancy he has a wealth of knowledge, is very approachable and prides himself in being able to relate to everyday business people.
