Ping Tapper

We specialise in the sale of accountancy practices and premium businesses across New Zealand, working closely with owners and acquirers to achieve strategic, high-value outcomes. With accounting qualifications and over seven years in business broking, we bring a rare blend of financial insight, commercial judgement, and market experience to every engagement.

In recent years, we’ve become two of New Zealand’s most active brokers in the accountancy sector, having successfully appraised and sold more than 50 practices ranging from sole operators to multi-partner firms. We understand the unique dynamics of fee-based businesses, from client retention and recurring revenue to succession planning and partner transitions. Our deep familiarity with the accounting profession allows us to speak the same language as our clients and provide advice that is both practical and commercially grounded.

While accountancy is our primary area of expertise, we are also trusted by clients to broker high-quality businesses in a variety of other sectors, including professional services, manufacturing, import/export, and niche growth industries. Many of these opportunities arise through referrals from accountants who value our discretion, professionalism, and ability to deliver strong outcomes for their clients. Regardless of sector, our approach is consistent: a focus on quality businesses, qualified buyers, and carefully managed, confidential processes designed to protect and maximise value.

What sets us apart is the depth of preparation and care we bring to every transaction. From comprehensive appraisals and compelling information memorandums to buyer screening and skilled negotiation, we personally manage each step of the sale with integrity, energy, and a commitment to achieving the right result, not just the quickest one.

With over 25 years of business experience in New Zealand, Ping brings a culturally attuned and empathetic approach that complements our professional service. We are particularly effective working with owners from diverse backgrounds, including those navigating retirement, family transitions, or complex decision-making across generations.

If you own an accountancy practice or premium business and would like to understand its potential in today’s market,or if you’re seeking growth through acquisition, we welcome a confidential, obligation-free conversation.
