Amit Patel

After studying a Bachelor of Commerce at Auckland University, I started off as a tax investigator at the IRD before moving to Withers Tsang in 2004.

I believe that while technical competence is really important, as an accounting professional of the future you need to be a problem solver, critical thinker and more and more these days, digitally savvy.

I like making a difference and the advice I offer our clients they take extremely seriously. I’ve built long lasting relationships with big clients and sole traders alike and they depend on me to deliver. From tax planning, valuations, business compliance and advisory, I enjoy the range of work at PKF Withers Tsang and learning from the experts we have here.

I enjoy spending time with my wider family and friends. Thanks to them I know how to ride a bike without holding the handles and how to push myself through on our 3-day hike of the Routeburn track. It’s important to know how to unwind.
