Neera Bagga
Director
I'm a Chartered Accountant, with a BBS Accounting Major (Massey University).
I've been involved with small-to-medium sized businesses, start-ups and not-for- profit organisations, to meet their statutory and management reporting requirements and advisory services.
I have a passion for IT and a vast knowledge of accounting systems. I'm an experienced cloud integrator and lead system implementation for this practice.
I've worked with clients from diverse industries including manufacturing, wholesale, IT, retail, public benefit entities and not-for-profit organisations. I've also assisted clients with financial management roles including the preparation of internal management reports, internal controls, board and statutory reporting for audit.
Neera is currently on Maternity break.
Natalie Robertson
Senior Accountant
Having graduated from Massey University with a BBS (majoring in Accountancy), I've worked across the Manawatu since 2015. I started with HBT in 2020 and am enjoying my role as a Senior Accountant and working with Clients from a wide range of industries and backgrounds.
I'm passionate about assisting Clients to meet their potential and being a part of their journey towards some exciting goals. I have particular enthusiasm for the rural industry, having lived and worked on a Dairy Farm for twelve years.
My experiences in the rural sector have set me up to help Clients from all walks of life. It’s a challenging industry which has helped me to develop a skill set for problem solving. The Farmer Philosophy of “getting stuck in” has also taught me the value of hard work and not giving up until the desired outcome is achieved.
