Background
Richmond Club is a Christchurch hospitality institution, established in 1888. In recent years, the club has spent over $16 million developing a new club. Staying on budget for such a large development was a significant challenge, and Oxford Edge helped with regular conversations and robust budgeting.
The club believes in surrounding itself with great advisors. Oxford Edge is a trusted long-term partner to Richmond Club, and we have supported the club in making business changes to achieve its goals.
“It’s clear that Belinda and her team want to empower us rather than just upselling their services,” says Richmond Club General Manager Jimmy Summerfield. “At the same time, they’re always there for us as a sounding board for anything that comes up and we have the utmost confidence in everything we’re doing because we know the relevant checks and balances are in place. Their staff are very approachable so we never second-guess asking a question we’re unsure about, and they present information in a way everyone can understand.”
What our client says
“What I like most about working with Belinda is that she’s not like an accountant. She’s different, she’s motivated to make our business the best that it can be. Belinda makes things easy to understand and she’s interested in and invested in our business, rather than just producing financial reports at the end of the financial year. I strongly believe a big part of our increased profit is due to her.
“I think your accountant is a part of your team, so it’s essential to find someone that fits within your business. You definitely notice the Oxford team genuinely takes an interest in you. You know that they have your best interests at heart and that they are always meeting your legal requirements perfectly. From startups to big corporates, I know they can give you the right advice and support when you need it. Whether things are going well or are a bit tougher, they’re always there to help and the staff are approachable. They are ethical, professional, very smart and flexible. I often refer others to Oxford Edge and I do so with complete confidence!
“I’d thoroughly recommend Oxford Edge to any business owner who wants to improve their financials and take their business to the next level.” - Jimmy Summerfield, General Manager, Richmond Club
