Professional service on time every time. No regrets
Our values
Six principles that guide how we think, act and work with you.
01
Clarity
We cut through the noise so you always know what's next and why.
02
Presence
We show up fully, without making it about us.
03
Trust
We give honest advice and keep our word, including when it's not what you hoped to hear.
04
Empathy
We listen first. Every business, and every owner, is different.
05
Co-creation
We build the plan with you, not for you.
06
Adaptability
We adjust as your situation changes, because it will.
Founder
Founded by Uli Johnston.
Uli is the founder and CEO of Accent Management, which is now in its third year. She is also Chairman of the Board of NZSME.org, an advocacy organisation for New Zealand small and medium businesses.
We don't hand you whoever happens to be free. For each project we put together the team that fits what you're dealing with. When the job needs a specialist, such as finance, logistics or export, we bring one in on that project at no extra cost to you.
The team
A team of specialists.
Every consultant holds an MBA from a New Zealand university. That's not a badge we wear for show, it's the difference between advice that sounds good and advice grounded in how businesses really work.
