Akshit Jain (AJ)

After completing a degree in accounting and business from AUT Uni, AJ started his accounting journey in 2017 at a mid-size firm working in both Auckland and Tauranga offices. This is where he learnt accounting isn’t just about producing numbers, it’s a field steeped in logical reasoning and much more. AJ has worked with clients across various industries and fields, providing them with pragmatic solutions to steer through financial and technical challenges. He has experience in preparing financial statements and consolidating at the group level for big groups and larger organisations while ensuring their regulatory and compliance needs are met. He also has experience in producing cashflow and financial forecasts, GST and PAYE compliance.

His problem-solving mindset always involves finding a better and more creative solution every time. He believes honesty and exceptional service to clients are key aspects in the public practice space.

“Always give your best shot. The seeds you sow today will bear fruit later.”

AJ was born and brought up in Delhi, India. He moved to New Zealand in 2015 to pursue higher education and fell in love with the unique beauty and lifestyle the country offers. A keen traveler, AJ enjoys experiencing different traditions and cultures each place has to offer, which broadens his understanding of the world.

In his free time, AJ likes going out walking and hiking to explore new places. He also enjoys trying different foods and staying active by running, going to the gym, and swimming. Adding yoga and meditation to his daily schedule is something AJ aspires to do.

Being honest is quite important to AJ, as he believes it builds trust and strengthens relationships.

“Progress is a journey, not a destination; each small step forward leads to greater heights.”
