Rachel Learmond

Associate

I’ve been working in accounting for over 20 years, starting out in Whakatāne back in 2002. Since then, I’ve completed my Bachelor of Business through Open Polytechnic and become a registered ACA (Associate Chartered Accountant) with CA ANZ.

Over the years, I’ve had the chance to work with a wide range of clients — from orchardists and farmers to small business owners, medical professionals, and investors. Whether it’s helping with tax planning, software support, or sorting out systems, I enjoy finding practical solutions that make life easier for my clients. I have a real interest in tax planning, tech tools, and investments — yes, I actually enjoy that stuff!

I’m all about helping people feel more confident about their numbers and giving them the support they need to reach their goals.

Outside of work, you’ll usually find me on the hockey field or spending time with my awesome family — my husband Adyn and our two boys, Cory and Lucas. They’re hands down my greatest achievement (and also keep me on my toes!). And like many accountants, I firmly believe the day starts better with a good coffee.
